Pandemia : How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives

"The most important fact about the coronavirus pandemic that turned the world upside down in 2020 is that our response to it has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests--all of them purporting to "follow the science." 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"-- Provided by publisher Berenson tells the appalling true story of the duplicitous experts, power-hungry officials, and scaremongering journalists who botched the response to a global pandemic. Partnering with big tech to frighten and control the public, they exploited the crisis to achieve unprecedented control over our bodies, our lives, and even what we're allowed to say. Berenson shows how "Team Apocalypse" and their wildly inaccurate models corrupted science, endangered our constitutional liberties, and put the very idea of truth at risk. -- adapted from jacket "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."--Provided by the publisher
