      Wow. Someone, somewhere, must not like my post on Judy Mikovits, #COVID19, and #Plandemic. The comments have been infiltrated by some real conspiracy nuts, and the blog appears to be under a DDoS attack that, fortunately, @Cloudflare is thus far handling. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/05/06/judy-mikovits-pandemic/ …

      Whoa. 450K requests to the blog in just four hours, with only 12K more uniques. It's got to be a DDoS. What else could it be? Experts? What do you say? I'm not a techie. I'm in over my head. All I could do was turn off all my plugins and turn Cloudflare into "under attack" mode.

          Good to know. Hopefully I can ride it out. I'm told that mine is the only blog post right now with a detailed debunking of #Plandemic and Judy Mikovits' nonsense. Hopefully I can ride it out. I have no advertising, and all bandwidth charges come out of my pocket.

          I read it fine and got that landing page before it loaded. I would definitely stay on support with them to ensure it doesn't go down.

          It's also the 1st article I've seen with information to debunk #Plandemic, found it on Reddit. So...it must be in high demand!

          I think Retraction Watch is being attacked as well.

          It's possible. I heard RW was down. They have a very good article on Mikovits and the retraction of her XMRV Science article.

          And you were fairly calm, measured, and nuanced. You carefully explained your problems with Mikovits and the movie, along with evidence. ZDoggMD wasn't so gentle. https://youtu.be/KHeg9DDrjMs

          Yeah. I really feel his frustration though. I watched this crap for about 5minutes and was like.. What.. The f***ing what what? I had no words. I was completely shocked in the stupidity an arrogance of it...and only watched 5 minutes of it! Worse than the flatearth nonsense.

          Your post is popping up here and there on reddit - none of the big subs yet. Probably inevitable at this point. Do you have access to the http logs from the host? You might be able to run them through GoAccess to get some data points. Will quickly tell you if it's an attack.

          Of fair note, I posted your link in /r/DebunkThis about 2 hours ago. Not a huge sub, though.
