    Just a word. Although I first thought it was a DDoS attack, Cloudflare support says no. It's just a crapton of traffic. This post has gone viral in a way that (I think) no other post in my 15 year blogging career has. 1/https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1258432843820089346 …

        Even with Cloudflare the site has been intermittently crashing under the load, and the hosting service is working on it. (My plan is too basic and probably needs to be upgraded, at least temporarily.) The theme had to be changed because the usual theme was causing problems. 2/

        A crapton of new commenters have infiltrated, many of them #COVID19 conspiracy theorists and Judy Mikovits fans. I haven't been able to moderate comments for a couple of hours now because I can't log onto WordPress. 3/

        I'm not bragging or anything. I never expected this post to go viral, and, to be honest, its going viral is causing me a lot of problems trying to work with my host's customer service to keep the site up while still doing my work. 4/

        I'm just saying: Be patient. The wave of traffic will pass, and we'll have the blog reasonably functional again within a few hours, I hope. I'm also probably going to crosspost the post to @sciencebasedmedicine later or tomorrow. It can handle more traffic. 5/5

        Not surprised. The video has caught on with people I don't normally see this kind of conspiracy stuff from, so I am not at all surprised your debunking is getting serious attention.

        Similarly, my med school & residency friends that normally wouldn't be countering misinformation are clearly fed up & sharing this post and the FB post by Dr Kasten

        You rather pleased with the fame the article has brought. Makes me wonder if it wasn’t opportunistic.
