Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website Goop – which made headlines earlier this year for selling a vagina-scented candle – is back in the news.
Kelly Brogan [feature image], who calls herself a ‘holistic psychiatrist’, has been lambasted on social media this week for suggesting she does not believe in the “germ-based contagion” COVID-19, which is shutting down the world.
In a video titled ‘What Is Going On’, which was posted to Facebook and Vimeo, Brogan suggests there is “”potentially no such thing as the coronavirus,” and speculates the recorded deaths are “likely being accelerated by fear itself”.
Facebook has since deleted the video, although it remains online on Vimeo.
The problem for Paltrow and Goop is not that Brogan made the suggestions on the site, rather her close association with the publication.
Brogan has appeared on the site numerous times, writing blogposts, Q&As and even acting as an expert on a panel for Paltrow’s brand.
A New York Times bestseller, Brogan is also a well-renowned anti-vaxxer.
