My fear is people will succumb to this bullshit more as things get worse, when they should abandon it for real medicine.

1. That's always the problem with this sort of nonsense -

people believe it because it usually provides some easy "remedy" so they ignore real medicine. This particular dingbat calls herself a "holistic psychiatrist":

"According to Kelly Brogan, a “holistic psychiatrist,” according to her website, who has previously written blog posts and Q&A's for Goop and appeared as an expert on panels for Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, she doesn’t think the virus is real because she doesn’t believe in “germ-based contagion”.According to Kelly Brogan, a “holistic psychiatrist,” according to her website, who has previously written blog posts and Q&A's for Goop and appeared as an expert on panels for Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, she doesn’t think the virus is real because she doesn’t believe in “germ-based contagion”."

She can refuse to believe in "germ-based contagion" all she wants, but they and viruses are still there, regardless.

Crises always seem to bring out the idiots.

3. Not believing in germ theory.

How 19th century of her.

2. Isn't it strange how people will grasp at these straws, claiming there's no proof

for a scientific fact or theory...and yet they cling to their religion, as if there is any proof at all for the claims of truth made by the same.

4. "Goop" and "expert" are diametrically opposed

Their "expert" doesn't believe germs cause disease.
