Pandemia: How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives Kindle Edition
Since the lockdowns began, millions of Americans have relied on the reporting of Alex Berenson. Exposing the hysteria and manipulation behind the worst failure of public policy since World War I, this clear-eyed journalist has been a critical source of reason and truth.
The product of relentless investigation and research, Pandemia explains how an illness that many people will never even know they had became the occasion for economically ruinous lockdowns and the suppression of personal freedom on a previously unimaginable scale. Dispassionate, factual, and untainted by any agenda other than telling the truth, this is the account that pandemic-weary Americans desperately need.

Berenson follows along the timeline of developments and social/political reactions related to the pandemic and details information and facts from each new development. He acknowledges that at the very beginning the lockdowns seemed to make sense, before we had more information. Once information started being compiled and collected, however, it was clear that this reaction was causing more harm than good, but at this point those welding the power and control didn't want to let go. It is made clear that our response to the coronavirus is the worst public policy mistake worldwide in at least a century.
Finally someone has written a book full of facts documenting and exposing the truth behind the lockdowns and everything that has followed rather than simply repeating political ideology. Reading the facts and presenting them without an agenda stands in sharp contrast to the current content creators who used to be journalists but currently are beholden to writing what the corporations who own and finance them. Berenson points out the facts, based on collected data, and concludes that we need to put the dangers of the coronavirus in to a reasonable perspective by treating it as a medical problem, not a societal crisis. We need to demand the truth, the facts, and the data rather than forcing new biotechnology on everyone based on vague scare tactics and incomplete data.
This is a well researched and detailed overview and perfect for those of us who have been collecting facts and documents for two years now. Berenson has compiled these facts plus more into one volume. This is a book I very highly recommend that everyone read.
I've seen it written in the book, "The Elements of Journalism," by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, that, "The purpose of journalism is thus to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments."
I had long ago thought that while this concept had once possibly been a goal of journalists, it probably no longer was. After reading this book, I've concluded that rare is the so-called journalist who is not part of a coordinated effort to influence us into reacting a certain way to further a specific agenda. Many think journalists took an oath to dig deep into important matters that the masses know little about, and then simply report the facts of what they find. You might think that the journalism community would welcome all reporting on the same topic, even if the findings are different. For instance, in our criminal justice system when a good defense attorney picks apart a poorly prepared prosecution case, many think that all police officers probably hate those defense attorneys for getting the bad guy off. The truth is, it's only the lazy officers who think that way. The sharp ones learn from their mistakes and come better prepared next time. Consequently, many police officers and defense attorneys who battle in the courtroom are having a beer together in the evening. What better way to improve the quality of reporting than to have one reporter do his job better and shoot holes through the story written by another who didn't put in the work. We would all benefit in that. That is, unless the story was not written with the intent to inform, but the intent to bring us all into the group; the group that corporate media in coordination with the swamp in DC, is always building to help further whatever agenda the powerful have set. Read this book, and you'll see what happened to Alex Berenson when he chose to report the truth instead of going along with the program designed by corporate media and government deep-staters. He is viewed as a threat to their agenda and therefore must be destroyed. I, for one, will praise Alex's fine work and continue to support his efforts to bring us the truth.
If you want to know HOW we got here, and how we've been so severely divided over C19, you need to read Alex Barenson's Pandemia. It is meticulously documented and reads like a crime novel... a real page turner.
I've been following Mr. Barenson since he wrote about the dangers of 21st Century marijuana and like his writing style. I've gotten used to his biting sarcasm through his substack posts, but this book reads quite differently. I'm not finished with this book yet, but I'm learning much more about the science behind the virus and the means of treating it than I thought possible. He breaks the science down to building blocks of understanding that even I could follow.
While Mr. Barenson clearly has a point of view about mask and vaccine mandates and the wisdom of shutdowns and jabbing children, his tone is measured and reasonable. Even if you fully believe in everything that Dr. Fauci utters, you will benefit from reading this book. It may not change your mind, but it will inform you of how we got to this crazy place we inhabit now.

First, governments around the world continue to double down on invasive and rights-infringing strategies focused on scapegoating and discrimination (strategies which also clearly do not work), the subject of the vaccines is of great importance. I was a bit frustrated to learn that a bit of the content there was in the form of excerpts from Alex's previously released booklet on the subject. I suppose I would have liked to have seen those (short) booklet excerpts re-written at least to make me feel like I was buying something new. (Part of my frustration about the vaccines section, too, is inherent to the problem of releasing a book about current events: time marches on. By the time this book went to press, quite a bit of new information was already available and more continues to pop up every day. Hopefully Alex will follow up with a second book specifically on this topic.)
Second, Alex has the endearing quality of wanting to be accepted and liked by as many soi-disant intelligent people as possible, despite the fact that many of such people are as far from reasonable as you can imagine, and will refuse to like him anyway. This desire to be accepted tends to crop up in passages about Alex's Twitter ban as well anything related to the most recent former US president if you know who I mean. In the former case, you can really tell how desperately he wants to get back on Twitter. (Let it go, Alex, that place is a desolate wasteland of everything that is wrong with humanity and the internet.) In the latter case, I personally find it grating that even reasonable people like Alex can't give that former president credit for anything whatsoever without first talking about what a terrible person he is. Maybe that's the world in which we live, but for me personally I find the constant stream of "45 actually was right in this one instance but it's his fault nobody listened because of muh mean Tweets and so don't you get to thinking I like the guy" a bit grating and off-putting.
So those are my cons, and they don't outweigh the pros. Amazing book, buy it for yourself and your friends.
