Follow the science. That's what we were told, but did we? COVID-19 swept through the world in 2020 and triggered lockdowns and societal restrictions never seen in history. The government interventions did not follow any pandemic playbook before COVID-19, including that from the WHO and CDC. Millions of American kids experienced fractured education. Millions of adults lost their jobs, and depression, overdoses, and youth suicides soared. Lockdown tactics were not employed for the greater public health as a whole, but rather to stop COVID-19 at any cost, an impossible outcome.

Inside, see the science-BC (Before COVID-19), how the lockdown and face mask measures took root, the data showing the efficacy of these approaches, and the role that the media and key policymakers and influencers had in continuing restrictions and panic in Americans. Included are over five hundred citations from prominent medical studies, the CDC, the WHO, and media from around the world.


“Michael Betrus's magnificent book cites a huge amount of literature showing a lack of any correlation between lockdown policies and disease mitigation. The burden of this book is to prove that these are in fact normal times or should have been regarded as normal times, which is to say that the mass panic was wholly unjustified. It's a remarkable conclusion but the author justifies it all with great argument, evidence, and logic.” Jeffrey Tucker, Founder of the Brownstone Institute

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Michael Betrus has performed an extraordinary service to the people with his well-researched COVID 19: The Science vs. The Lockdowns, giving the truths of the data that have long gone lacking in the government's coronavirus-related clamps on freedoms. If you suspect the health authorities and politicians have used COVID-19 as reason to overreach, you're right. Betrus provides the factual basis that shows the abuse of power is even worse than suspected."
—Cheryl Chumley, Washington Times

"COVID-19: The Science vs. The Lockdowns is a devastating analysis of nearly every global government's totalitarian response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. From meticulously laying out the science behind face mask mandates to documenting COVID-19 death counts and excess deaths potentially caused by lockdowns to the ongoing disaster that has been the closure of schools and the forced masking of children to seemingly everything in between, Betrus lays it all on the line in this excellent, well-documented 300+ page book. You'll want a copy for yourself and one for every open-minded skeptic in your life."
—Scott Morefield, Townhall

"When the dust settles from this virus, lockdowns will go down as the most destructive global policy in world history. We are already seeing policy-makers attempt to reinvent history; Michael did a public service by painstakingly chronicling the tragic effects of lockdowns so all future generations can learn to never repeat this inhumane, immoral, and illogical mistake ever again."
—Daniel Horowitz, The Blaze

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-documented history of the covid pandemic policies and their impact
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022
Verified Purchase
This is a well-documented book that puts the various pandemic policies into a historical context that makes a lot of sense. It discusses and compares the covid policies with policies implemented for other pandemics at different points in history. The book collects a lot of facts and statistics and puts them in a usable format for evaluating how effective/ineffective these policies were. This is a must-have book for anyone who wants to have an easy to use historical record of the pandemic.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best treatments of the inconvenient science in analysis of covid measures
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2022
In this fine follow-up to his earlier book on Covid, Betrus discusses the consensus science on masks, particularly cloth masks, before and after covid; the contrast between what was early known about the vastly greater risk for different populations and the seemingly factually oblivious targeting of population protections by government; the mind-boggling indifference to the damaging effects of lockdowns in official calculus in whether they should be imposed; and, to me the most important remaining policy failure, the real risks and benefits in our continuing failure to return to normal schools especially for young children. Importantly for me, Betrus maintains an objective tone without resorting to the name-calling and conspiracy theories which IMO mar too much of the criticism of the world's covid response.

An intelligent and rational discussion of all things surrounding COVID and what the government has done. Should be on NY Times Best Seller list… and may be some day. An eye opener !
