No one - here - ever mentions - this - aspect

In all seriousness I actually see almost nobody being like "haha what a loser he had to sweep the streets". I guess I just assumed everyone here knew his story already, it's been posted probably half a dozen times or more over the years and is referenced regularly. But its such a good story I don't mind seeing it crop up again. The anecdotes about him and his wife in this post actually made me tear up a little.

yeahhhh. I wish I had a copy of that michael brooks show video now (at some point the next year or so they privated it, and now it appears to be fully deleted) because the quacks are very good at tailoring their message to the audience, it's not just an ignorant right-winger phenomenon

It's wild that this grift is still going. I almost went down that rabbithole at the beginning of the pandemic when the quacks pushing it got on some left-wing shows (even michael brooks... RIP) and there was limited evidence to go on, but then the evidence completely failed to appear, and everyone pushing it insisted it was a miracle drug for everything from cancer to covid and I felt foolish for ever giving it the benefit of the doubt
