About The Covid Index

Background

From the inception of the COVID-19 panic in 2020, the messaging from governmental authorities and major-media outlets has been largely consistent:

  • COVID-19 posed a grave threat to all of humanity,
  • lockdown policies and mask mandates were necessary to ‘stop the spread,’
  • diagnostic tests were reliable indicators of infection,
  • no preventative or remedial treatments existed,
  • the experimental products developed under Operation Warp Speed were ‘safe and effective,’ and
  • mass inoculation was essential to end the pandemic.

Meanwhile, dissenters from this orthodoxy have been routinely vilified, censored, and penalized, regardless of their qualifications, personal experience, or the substance of their case.

In such a deceptive and divisive environment, acquiring a well-informed understanding of Covid-related topics has been challenging. Sensible evaluation of any issue requires familiarity not only with the arguments for prevailing beliefs, but also the evidence presented by knowledgeable skeptics and critics.

“Listen to the science,” lectured the scolds. So in August of 2021, independent volunteers started doing exactly that by compiling the primary sources that now comprise The Covid Index.

The Covid Index is for informational, non-profit purposes only, and is not predictive or prescriptive. So please think for yourself, do your own due diligence, and draw your own (well-informed) conclusions.

The Team

Due to the hostility directed at people who question the Covid narrative, project volunteers choose to remain anonymous in order to protect our loved ones and livelihoods.
