Ahmed has spent the last few months peddling hit pieces on people he calls "Antivaxxers," and yesterday he got Dan Milmo, the Guardian's dim "Global technology editor," to recycle his fears that "Anti-vaxxers" are "Making 'at least $2.5m' a year from publishing on Substack," or perhaps even as much as $12.5 million dollars.
It's pretty clear that Ahmed's anxieties are involved in the coordinated media campaign to get Substack to deplatform prominent dissident writers like Alex Berenson, Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch.
Everything suggests Ahmed started out as an anti-racism campaigner, before Corona fried his brain.
The putative revenues which Ahmed assigns to the "Anti-Vaxx Industry" amount to less than 0.23% of the 2021 earnings of BioNTech.
As long as we are talking about industries, and setting such low bars for the definition of them, would it not be fair to say that Ahmed is himself part of some kind of progressive advocacy industry? That big red "Donate" button plastered all over his website takes you directly to a page that solicits one-time or monthly donations in suggested amounts ranging from $25 to $250 dollars.
"Selena reached out through her manager last fall, wanting to understand why exactly things were going so wrong and what specific things she could do to make things better," Imran Ahmed, the CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, tells me.
The Ahmeds of the world could very easily put the "Anti-Vaxx Industry" out of business.
