Abby Johnson: I Dared to Talk About My COVID Experience, And Then the Hate Poured In

This last month my entire family, all ten of us, contracted COVID-19. I got it from a vaccinated individual during a work event and well, when you have ten people living in the same house, sickness usually spreads fast.

I was able to get a hold of America’s Frontline Doctors, who prescribed a combination of vitamins and medications, including ivermectin, which helped us immensely. None of us were sick long thanks to the regiment of medications, time outside in direct sunlight and IV fluids.

I talked about my experience on Twitter, and while I’m more than used to hateful messages and comments, the vitriol I received was unlike anything I’ve experienced.

Why? Because I dared to talk about my own experience with COVID. My experience.

I didn’t claim to be a doctor because I’m not. I didn’t claim this was the end-all treatment for COVID and everyone must do it. I didn’t demand everyone do the same exact thing that worked for my family. I shared the truth of what happened, and because it’s not the “truth” others support, I was vilified.

This “sharing your truth” nonsense isn’t confined to COVID, although the censorship I’ve found around proven methods that lessen symptoms of the virus is unreal and suspect, to say the least.

They said, “No, you need to shut up about your experience because you’re not talking about COVID the way we want you to talk about it. You’re not talking about vaccines. You’re talking about pseudoscience.”

Here’s the thing: Everyone has an opinion. We all have one, and for the most part, everyone loves sharing theirs. What you don’t have the right to tell me is that my experience is nonsense because it doesn’t follow your own “truth” and opinions.
