      The sad thing about becoming an antivaxxer, covid truther, or other conspiracy theorist is that the paranoid nonsense destroys not just your brain but also relationships. Just got Alex Berenson’s book, he admits he trashed his relationship with his dying father over his crusade. pic.twitter.com/AGxk9BSORe

      among many other things i will never forget that at the very start of this he was a “we must take covid very seriously” guy until he realized that he could get more attention as a covid denier.

      It's a curious example of reflexive contrarianism at work. Once people started taking covid seriously, he had to find a new niche. The anecdote about the family suggests he fully commits to the positions he adopts. Curiously both a fanatic & an opportunist.

          Glenn Greenwald doesn't get enough credit for similar arc, IMHO: used COVID concerns to scold BLM protests in 2020 and is now a total COVID contrarian

          I doesn’t seem that curious. Folks make such deeply felt changes in belief all the time, at least in the corporate world. Having worked at senior levels for all the major CPU vendors I found my salary levels always correlated with my product enthusiasm. It’s like that for Alex.

          It's depressing how easily humans convince themselves of the truth of what they find it convenient to believe.
