The ignorance of some of these examples is shocking.

Terrifying that these people were allowed any platform at all. Yet as usual, where are the ramifications? Which of these people have been punished in any way whatsoever? Why does government or regulators do nothing. They put all of us in danger.

I think this all feeds into and from a worldwide conspiracy theory and disinformation network. I heard similar dogwhistles and talking points from my scientist ex-husband - we divorced just after the pandemic. I am based in New Zealand, but I recognise much of what you have compiled here.
