Scientology leader David Miscavige was angry. The emerging pandemic had arrived in the US in 2020 just in time to shut down one of Scientology's holiest rituals of the year, its March 13 celebration to mark founder L. Ron Hubbard's birthday.

A few days later, Miscavige issued a secret bulletin to his followers, calling the Covid health crisis a "planetary bullbait" that Scientology would not flinch at.

Soon after that, we learned that Miscavige was trying to turn the pandemic into a public relations opportunity by throwing the entire weight of his organization behind an effort to be part of the health care solution. Scientology printed up millions of copies of a booklet it distributed around the world which gave out basic advice about keeping distance, washing hands, and wearing masks.
