By Erin K. Costello The following is a transcription of a video Katie Joy streamed on September 7, 2020 titled "Thank You for Helping Me Use My Voice." Here is a link to the video, though I believe Katie has since made the video private. I will be uploading the video, and any other media I find likely to be deleted by Katie and worth preserving, to a media hosting site that is able to host long videos such as this as soon as I find such a site. I'm told Imgur can now host long videos like this, it was my belief they couldn't in the past, if this is the case then I will upload the video there under the account SlayerUtica.
**EDIT Imgur can't host big video files like this so I just settled on using Dropbox. Here is the video link. I'd like to add that the timestamps I've included are not for any reason other than to make it easier to find specific texts in the video. I tried to break it up according to pauses to the best of my ability. Though the timestamps may look as though I did (they do to me anyway), I did not omit any part of her video in my transcription besides the usual uses of verbal fillers like "um." The transcription for this video is as follows:

By Erin K. Costello ![]() Anyone who has read my writing (all 12 of you) before this blog is probably wondering why I am writing about some vlogger instead of my usual coverage of vaccines, or more specifically, anti-vaxxers. My answer is, I don’t know. Katie Joy, from Without a Crystal Ball, has never done anything to me personally. I also don’t think she has done anything quite horrendous. That is, until recently. Lately she seems to have turned into an angry bully who targets families on YouTube. Families who have broken no laws or any of YouTube's TOS (terms of service). Katie just seems to want to burn down as many channels as she can, because she can. **Edited on June 20, 2020, to update with newly discovered information regarding the reddit post on r/woacb discussed below. By Erin K. Costello ![]() Spending time lurking in the anti-vaccine/anti-science community for 3 years, I can’t tell you how many posts/comments/stories I have learned about where parents abuse or even kill their autistic children. They all have the same story to tell before they reach this point. They all became overwhelmed with caring for their autistic child, they all sought help for their situation, and they all fell victim to charlatans. I suspect many experienced mental health issues to various degrees though I don’t have the degree to speak to such things. The ones who became frustrated the most when the help they sought failed to deliver are the ones who, sadly, resorted to murder. |
