EXCERPTS (Susan Gerbic): . . while it might seem to be pretty obvious that not a single psychic predicted the COVID-19 crisis, I think it’s important to document this collective failure in one place, which is why I’m writing this article. And NO, Sylvia Browne did not predict COVID-19.

I did not see anyone challenging the psychics saying, “Why didn’t you see this pandemic coming and warn us?” But then I did not expect to. Most of the people posting on these psychic’s social media are their true fans [...] I made sure to capture all these websites ... so they won’t be able to pretend later to have predicted the pandemic, as we will have the proof in their own words that they didn’t see it coming.

So, to be crystal clear, not a single one of these so-called psychics predicted the pandemic crisis and in fact scheduled events that would have to be later cancelled. Why? If we were to challenge them and ask why they did not see this coming, the response I am sure we would get is, “It does not work that way!” To which my answer would be, “Oh, so, what good are you then?” (MORE - details)

If he’s not lying then the author did a better job. I think an ability to predict psychic behaviour is more common than we realize. Also hindsight is always perfect.
