Резюме
The author argues that institutional consensus often hides important truths, using COVID-19 as a case study where fringe questions (lab leak, ivermectin) were suppressed by media and policymakers. For markets, the essay warns that the same narrative management applies to finance — MMT, inflation goalposts, and the illusion of an indestructible stock market — urging skepticism toward mainstream financial narratives.
•Author warned of COVID risk in late 2019/early 2020 when consensus dismissed it as localized to China.
•Ivermectin was labeled 'horse dewormer' by media despite human prescriptions; FDA later acknowledged physician authority to prescribe for COVID.
•Declassified documents show Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory assessed a lab-origin possibility as early as May 2020, contrary to public dismissal.
•Documents reveal Anthony Fauci participated in intelligence discussions on COVID origins, creating transparency questions.
•Author stopped active trading as of May 20, 2026; now invests via recurring contributions to sector ETFs and a few select equities through third-party advisors.
•The author explicitly disclaims any recommendations and warns readers he often loses money and gets things wrong.
