I Once Spoke With YouTuber Louis Rossmann

You won't believe what happened behind the scenes

It is the craziest tale you could imagine, and it has not seen the light of day. Way back in 2021, back when governments were still seriously trying to implement the mandates for what I can only describe as poison shots, I was holding a discussion with Louis Rossmann on the Rossmann Repair Group (RRG) Discord server.

About Louis Rossmann

If you don’t know who Louis Rossmann is, he is a relatively well known YouTuber who is a computer repair specialist, that eagerly advocates for ‘Right to Repair’ (R2R), despises corruption in government, hates New York City, and often complains about the high rental prices for stores in New York City.

Louis Rossmann was an eager advocate for the COVID-19 shots. He thoroughly believed they worked, he had even published his shot card as proof of receipt, which was bad information security practices, but he’s free to do whatever with his own information. He eagerly encouraged others to get it.

He didn’t seem like a pharmaceutical shill. He did not receive any money from pharmaceuticals, he despised New York City’s oppressive mask mandates although he complied with them for the sake of his business, and did not force the COVID-19 poison shots on any of his employees, even when New York City made it illegal to do so.

He had a true ‘independent worker’ spirit and had the decency to respect people’s choices, unlike many in the pro-poison shot crowd.

He was convinced the COVID-19 shots were ‘for the greater good’, going so far as to do a short workout video as ‘proof’ the shots were safe, even though safety has to be assessed over many years:

But vaccines often take years, and sometimes even decades, to develop, test, and approve for public use

So convinced, in-fact, that he wanted to answer “antivaxxers” questions on his Discord. He wanted to find an expert to answer said questions. He’s what you’d expect a genuine establishment figure to have done long ago. Health experts want to help, right?

The COVID-19 Questions Challenge

He fielded out a tender to the public asking for questions. I took it upon myself to field the challenge. I set a few criterion on the questions, because I wanted to avoid the softball, weak questions from pharmaceutical shills posing as ‘skeptics’. I also wanted to avoid the discredit-by-association questions that undermine the movement critical of the poison shots.

I set the requirement that all questions would require citations and a justifible basis for their query. This did two things - one, it set an evidence based approach meaning any baseless or nonsense questions wouldn’t pass muster, and two, it laid the groundwork so the experts couldn’t just dismiss the questions as ‘unfounded’ or ‘unjustified’ or ‘false’, as they would have citations justifying the query.

Additionally, I also set the agreement the questions must be available publicly. Louis Rossmann requested he be able to change or modify the questions due to YouTube ‘Community’ restrictions that censor the discussion of specific topics. I agreed (because to disagree would mean no coverage), but only on the basis the original questions were public so people could see what questions were changed. He accepted the terms.

Myself and handful of other people worked on, and wrote the COVID-19 shot questions document. I was the heavy lifter, and spent a week non-stop writing, re-reading, re-organising, proofreading, and expanding the COVID-19 shot questions document.

The document ultimately amassed no less than 160 citations, from everything to peer reviewed journals, government statistics, and even mainstream news articles (for the ‘normies’), and contained a terminology index, and had citation numbering and a table of contents.

You can view the document for free here. Those of you want the Open Document format, viewable in free software such as LibreOffice, where the table of contents work, can download it from here, and those who want to view in browser (warning: it has 40 pages and may crash lower resource systems), the PDF can be viewed here (although table of contents does not work and you will have to manually scroll to the pages).

Does Louis Rossmann Realise The Truth?

Behind the scenes Louis was pleased with the quality and the speed of the work. He was expecting it to take months, and I had turned it around on the order of a week (admittedly I did work end-to-end daily to get it in such a short space of time).

He asked me what sort of experts he should have contacted. Now, I could have lied if I was malicious, but I pointed him to appropriate specialists who I felt had the best chance of answering the questions. I suggested he contact:

• Virologists (people who study viruses)

• Immunologists (people who study the immune system)

• Microbiologists (people who study small life - like viruses) and,

• Epidemiologists (people who study disease spread).

They all seem like sensible choices, and I’m pretty sure most people would agree with those categories. The weakest of the group were microbiologists because they’re not viral specialists, but they’re more specialised than say, a hospital doctor, and I wanted to give him the broadest possible choices to try to ‘attack’ my document with.

Experts Rapidly Fled

Despite his fame, holding more clout than even the likes of Steve Kirsch, Louis could not find any takers. He was quite surprised. Baffled, even. Every now and then he’d come back to me in DM and say that he’d ask an expert to answer questions, they’d say yes, then he’d show them the document, and then suddenly they magically wouldn’t have any free time to answer it.

He asked me if he could cherry pick questions. I said he could so long as he kept citations for the questions intact. I knew each question individually was so strong they would stand by their own merits.

He omitted entire sections. Still the experts wouldn’t answer. He took a many-questions document and said they only needed to answer 10. They still wouldn’t answer. He was confused. I was no medical expert, I was merely an ‘ignorant internet researcher’, and yet these experts were fleeing in terror.

Money Wouldn’t Draw Them In

Louis thought maybe it was money. Perhaps they didn’t want to do such “hard” work for free - even though I spent a week doing it for free “for the greater good”. He laid down $1,000. No takers. He laid down $3,000. He had three takers - all virologists, but two struggled and quit immediately.

I remind you again, I am no medical expert, and yet my questions had the very best confounded and in retreat. I am supposed to be the dunce, with the easy, ‘duhhhh’ braindead questions. Why the difficulty?

He had one virologist who actually wanted to attempt the questions, but they were so afraid they asked if they could remain anonymous. Louis asked me if that was okay. I asked for confirmation they were an expert so it wasn’t a random nobody on the internet posing as an expert. He confirmed they were a virologist, that was good enough for me.

I said it was okay if they remained private because I understand people fear for their personal safety and need privacy, and kept their name to myself. After all, I was technically anonymous too. I couldn’t be a hypocrite, could I?

The Virologist Struggles

They struggled, despite having written papers on SARS-CoV-2. Louis showed me their ‘response’ and it was terrible. Essentially they tried to answer one question on the CDC, basically saying the ‘experts must have checked this’ (on a modified, watered down question), answered a majority of questions by saying they were “irrelevant” (some were literally just this one word, singular), based on this earlier ‘answer’ - even on questions that didn’t relate to the CDC.

Despite this, Louis held to his position. He couldn’t comprehend why experts would abandon him like this, why they’d have difficulty answering a dunce-cap conspiracy theorists’ questions. The complete lack of softball questions utterly destroyed 3 experts, with many more of unknown number in full retreat. Even today, no such video has been published.

Imagine sending people with many years of medical field experience in full retreat with a document you only spent a week on, with the assistance of a team of ‘randos’ on an internet forum who were all equally as unqualified.

Even more embarrassingly, the document got a more compassionate (but still not appropriately answered), more extensive response from a General Practicioner who did it for free. Someone who wasn’t qualified in the appropriate fields was more eager to answer. Theirs boiled down to a sympathic ‘I understand why you’re afraid but you should still get it [and ignore the data]’.

No Questions Answered

At time of writing, I am not aware of Louis publishing any video where experts answer any of the concerns on the COVID-19 shots. It isn’t just skeptic Steve Kirsch with his $50k+ who can’t find any takers, even pro-COVID-19 shot takers with a wider audience and personality and money can’t find any takers to answer a written document from a non-medical expert passerby.

Despite this, even after experts did not answer any of the questions, and even after Louis did not publish a rebuttal video to all the “antivaxxers” and their questions, he still continues to take large dumps on “antivaxxers” for “misinformation” (example timestamped below):

A man who ultimately omits crucial information, tries to water down and cherry pick questions, and cannot get experts to refute or answer questions with citations, from a non-expert, is in no position to take dumps on the ad hominem of “antivaxxers” for supposedly spreading “misinformation”.

Notice he assumes the statements are false, rather than asking for evidence of the assertion. This is despite studies showing tables indicating negative efficacy of the shots (paywalled, unfortunately).

The Departure From Toxic RRG

I ultimately ended up leaving the RRG Discord because the control freak moderators there who were rabidly pro-COVID-19 poison shot didn’t like anyone challenging the narrative, and in an effort to keep Louis insulated from dissenting views, abused their powers to censor even the slightest of disagreements. Including, changing rules mid-conversation just to engage in censorship…

Refusing to clarify rules lest someone tried to ‘toe the line’ (read: call the moderators out on inconsistency and abuse):

Censoring for quoting ‘too many citations’ (wouldn’t want too much evidence from those critical of the poison shots, would we?):

With them often being unable to win any debates themselves and being forced to retreat when hard data was rolled out:

And magically being unable to supply proof for their own arguments because major peer reviewed websites were magically ‘offline’:

With RRG mods engaging in casual racism in politically unhinged rants…

…admitting to being unable to prove said invented racist “quotes” and insisting an “anonymous source” backed up their casual racism claims…

…whilst bragging their other moderator buddies don’t enforce Discord Terms of Service rules on racism and threatening mod action if their hypocrisy is called out…

…insisting anyone who took the shot and reported being injured by it were “crisis actors” in what can only be described an unhinged vaccine cultist rant:

With moderators often gaslighting and being abusive, even admitting even the other mods think they’ve gone too far but they just don’t care…

…whilst declaring members shouldn’t be ‘dicks’. One even claimed to have previously worked for the NSA…

The RRG moderators were clearly too unreasonable and too unhinged for any reasonable discussion to be had. Citations banned for being ‘excessive’, with complaints of “misinformation” if they were too few; double-standards on rule enforcement with quicksand rules that rapidly changed by their own admittance.

Casual, unfiltered racism which itself wasn’t a cry for free speech because anyone outside of their inner circle was prohibited from using similar terminology. They could verbally abuse you, but you weren’t allowed to verbally abuse them.

The weirdest part of the entire RRG experience though has to be the point where Louis Rossmann published mutiliated dick pics much to the shock of the posters residing there:

Louis Rossmann bizarrely acted like this was an entirely normal thing to do. One wonders where he even sourced the images from. Or what inclines someone to engage in such bizarre behaviours.

The Paradox Of RRG

The irony of Louis Rossmann berating “antivaxxers” of misinformation as his own cherry picked moderators and admins engage in such abusive and deceptive practices themselves is starkly not lost on me. The sad part is, one of them claims to have a Ph.D, with conduct unbecoming an academic.

There are likely many more stories like this that you’re completely unaware of, where experts get challenged, and then opt to fall silent because they’re unable to refute the datasets, and instead engage in underhand and abusive practices.

But not this story. Today, you become aware of one more fight behind the scenes that they won’t tell you about.
