Twenty years ago, Craigslist captured the classified ads that were the lifeblood of the newspaper business model. Ten years ago social media captured the remaining corporate ads that newspapers relied on. Newspapers shrunk, consolidated, and went bankrupt
You called out every brilliant writer I am following. I am thrilled to have found substack, it is like a whoosh of fresh air of real thoughtful and thought provoking journalism.
Just when I thought journalism was dead, I found a glimmer of hope!
Thank you so much, Toby, for including my new Substack newsletter -- Kids, Covid, and Covid Vaccines -- in your list! Already I've received a bunch of new signups today. I am so happy to be on Substack and to finally have a voice in this debate, after being censored and shadow-banned everywhere else. I am also pleasantly surprised to be finding so many great writers and journalists here, including you, Toby!
"I’m envious of the scholarly accounts that were smart enough to make themselves anonymous from the beginning." The problem with anonymous accounts Toby, no matter how intelligent, entertaining or truthful is that they have no credibility. We need people brave enough to put their reputations on the line in public to truly fight this. I know it's scary and can damage careers but that's what it will take. Doctors/scientists/journalists willing to face the scorn of their peers like you and Alex Berensen have done is what will make an impact. Yes my account is anonymous but my opinions would carry no weight no matter what.
Nice list! I am surprised that you didn't have Vinay Prasad on your list. He is not a conspiracy theorist, he simply looks at the data and explains crisply and clearly how to interpret it and the implications of it. Vinay is a doctor and associate professor at UCSF.
I just subscribed to eugyppios at your recommendation. You were the first person I subscribed to and Alec Berenson was the second. Substack is definitely the future for information it seems...
I LOVE the Substack era. The conversations are high quality and thought provoking. I started my own just to have a place to put my own Coronavents, although I'm just a mom who's fed up.
Harvard2thebighouse. Guy was on it in Jan 20 calling this what it was, but his Golden Silkworm post, was probably the most informative regarding the quasi species swarm theory and possible origins.
I will cosign the majority of your author recommendations and check out the ones I’m unfamiliar with. I will tell you as someone who works in what many consider the “mainstream press,” the business model isn’t just toast in newspapers, TV is disastrously close to a solvency meltdown. There are some simple steps we can take to expedite that process and I’ll detail what those steps are shortly. I’ll be fired for not getting jabbed on November 12. And when I’m free as a bird, look out…
I was just having this conversation yesterday (and multiple times in the past few weeks). Substack is phenomenal as an interprise and an important piece of the revolution in the information economy.
Substack is good, for as long as it lasts anyway. Ive never tried to monotize, but its nice that it tends to promote itself. Have put up a few things myself. Have a looksee.
Toby I am so grateful for you and what you are doing. Thank you for your recommendation. I’ll be adding a few to my reading list. Keep up the good fight!

"Alex Berenson should win a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative reporting." Agreed.

I also recommend Dr Aaron kheriatys substack. He’s the physician suing the uc over the vaccine mandate .
