Summary
Anti-vaccine advocates are using the COVID-19 pandemic to promote books, supplementals and services.Sayer Ji is a 48-year-old proponent of what he calls natural medicine."My parents didn't know about natural medicine, so it really wasn't until I was 17 that I learned some basic principles of nutrition and self care," he told attendees at a recent virtual conference. As of May 10, many posts about COVID-19 still appeared on the site.For his part, Ji says the biggest hit to his web traffic actually came before the pandemic, in 2019, when Google changed its search algorithms to hide anti-vaccine sites like his.And he says he doesn't worry much about the financial implications of getting kicked off social media sites either."Social media deplatforming?
