Has Anyone Gotten In Trouble With Amazon Associates and Been Reinstated?

Has anyone every been reinstated to Amazon Associates after having their account closed? I am not talking about not making enough sales in the 180 days. I mean for supposedly breaking the rules. I have never been in trouble for much of anything in my whole life but I got shut down by Amazon in 2020 due to Covid.

I had a website discussing nutrients and supplements prior to Covid but when I used the word coronavirus or Covid in my posts it started all kinds of problems. I clearly stated I am not a doctor or medically trained and stated there was no cure for Covid. By writing about certain supplements if broke the rules however. Of course when I signed up with Amazon Associates Covid didn't even exist yet! Anyway, they shut down my account which was a massive blow to my business. My Amazon account was the source of many of my affiliate links for my pet site as well. Of course that site was not about Covid but you can only have one Amazon Associate account so I lost the ability to use Amazon for all my websites.

I am hoping eventually I can get my account back or be allowed to start a a new one. The irony is the supplements I wrote about (such as zinc) have since been shown to indeed be effective against Covid! Even medical sources promote their use now in the fight against Covid. I was threatened by our state Attorney General's office and investigated and intimidated into shutting my website down. I have not written anything or done anything with it since. I just want the ability to use Amazon links on my pet site for now. I won't fight the Covid battle anymore.

So, do any of you have any experience getting reinstated if you got shut down by Amazon for a violation? I have tried to use other companies but it never works as well as Amazon did. Chewy changed thier policies and isn't worth it anymore. Many sites have such low commissions is just doesn't work. The advantage with Amazon was that people could purchase any type of item and it counted. I can't count the number of jeans and shoes and books and videos people purchased. Even light fixtures and coffee pots.

I have seen that you can't simply start a new account and put in new links since they will figure out you are the same person if you have the same name, address, email, website etc.

I hope eventually they will approve a new account.

If you have any expereince with this, I would love to hear it!

Thanks,
