A Goop contributor’s social media posts are being removed after she claimed that coronavirus may not exist and that deaths from the virus are likely caused by fear. 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”. Brogan shared her reasoning in lengthy videos shared on social media last week, as reported by The Daily Beast. In one video titled: “What Is Going On?” which is still available to view on Vimeo, Brogan says that deaths attributed to the virus are “likely being accelerated by the fear itself”. “And I’m sure you understand the role of fear in all this,” Brogan says. The New York Times bestselling author also compares the contagious virus to her child having a runny nose - explaining that she is just as likely to drink from their glass because contagion is “not a conceptual framework that I operate within”.
