Thank you Alex. I bought it and gave it to two people who are very special to me, but who completely bought into the hysteria since the beginning. Their lives became very small. Their health declined. Their social interactions were extremely limited. I never thought I could change their way of thinking, after repeated attempts. But your book opened their eyes. They no longer hide in fear. They are elderly. But they weren’t spending the time they have left, living. Now they’re free. And you freed them. They are happy. They are thriving. Again, thank you.

Thanks for writing that, sir!

One example: this morning on WNPR Brian Lehrer had a segment on scarcity of goods and inflation. A contractor called in and said that two of his workers had serious medical emergencies after getting the "vaccines". Lehrer instructed his audience that the caller was spreading misinformation and it was very dangerous!

I am enjoying the book from the beach. It is interesting to revisit the whole pandemic story from day one, but with the benefit of two years’ first-hand experience.

I ordered 2 copies at the Barnes and Noble in Studio City (Los Angeles) last week and today they called me to let me know they've arrived ❤️👍

So Alex, I do love reading your blog, and an reading the book, but saying that 1850 reviews 'can't be wrong' as incentive to buy? We all know that the wisdom of crowds isn't always, and that just because 'everyone' is doing or saying it doesn't mean it's right.

This is not to discourage anyone from getting and reading what is a fascinating review of our recent history! Just to say that appealing to the correctness of crowds might not be the best selling point for educated consumers!

I can recommend it. Got the audio book since I had a lot of drive time coming up. The book is illuminating and disconcerting. It’s a must buy to help us prepare for the next bout of lunacy from our “public health officials”.

Great writing, Alex. I thoroughly enjoyed your book.

If you think you have gotten the lowdown from all the blogs and podcasts on Telegram, Signal, and Rumble, you are sorely mistaken. Alex Berenson in Pandemia lays out a history, complete with source material (numbered and listed in the back of the book) that weaves a brilliant and believable explanation of how in the world all of this insanity occurred and is hanging on refusing to give up.

The best new book I've read in 5-6 years or so. I reserved a copy in August--even though it didn't come out until November 30th. It was worth the wait and I tell everyone I know how important and thoroughly researched it is. When you tell people it's got 59 pages of footnotes linking to the sources (much of it from the publishings of the very organizations now screaming "misinformation"), they do a double take.

Read it on beach in Grenada surrounded by tourists from around the world that we’re wearing masks on a beach. I gave it to one of them when I finished.

When the left finally backs down and tries to quietly distance itself from the horror of the past two years (probably through some kind of diversion rather than an admission of any guilt) this book will forever remain as the true account of what happened. It is important for us now, but it will be even more important in the future, for our children, so that we never forget what happened. The truth. Thank you for documenting it so thoroughly.

Finished it. I couldn’t believe how much happened that I completely forgot about. Well done, Alex. I hope influential people are reading it.

Stop it with the book hawking. It really cheapens your work Alex. You've done enough selling already

This will be the definitive history of this pandemic with timelines and data. Humanity included. I’m convinced that many of the revelations in this book will be scrubbed by liberal “historians”.

It’s an important document

Half way through it…makes me mad all over again! But so glad you wrote it…we should never forget!

Done did. Soon as it came out. Soooo, don’t I get a secret decoder ring? Or something?😉😄 Keep up the good reporting Alex. You definitely have set of big brass ones. Just a handful of good journalists fighting back. Fight back!

It was great. Look at Henry Ford hospital Detroit study on early use of HCQ.

Excellent book, great information. Perhaps in the future, you can use your analytical skills to see how the 2020 election was stolen.

I bought and read yours already, bought and read Abigail Shirer’s book Irreversible Damage, bought and haven’t read yet Robert Kennedy’s Dr. Fauci. I am making it a policy to buy books that go against prevailing narratives and have the potential to be banned. Any other recommendations?

I bought the hardcover edition when it was first released. I gobbled it down as soon as I got it, and now I'm rereading it more slowly. (That's a metaphor, by the way. Paper isn't high on my list of edibles.) It holds up well to rereading. One of the "must reads" of the current time.

Yep, I pre-ordered it and got it the day it was released. Fantastic read, recommend to everyone!

Did Malone really just call Rogan a hack on War Room? Just a blurb I saw on Twitter; don't know if it's true. If so, what's up with that????

Did you interview Robert Malone for the book. Or proffer an apologize for the own goal?

Let's all make sure we pay the enemy, Amazon-Bezos-Washington Post, even though it's for sale at the same price at Walmart and other places.

WTF, Alex, do you get more money when you hump us over to Bezos?

I bought it when it was WAY more expensive!

Why is the paperback so pricy? Isn't it usually the other way around?

Bought one for myself and one for a gift!

Except I can’t, because it seems that the publisher’s think that countries like NZ don’t exist (or are unimportant). 🙄😕

Hey Alex, i did buy your book hardcover and just finished reading it. I'm all the way down in Auckland NZ. Firstly wanted to say thanks for not ignoring NZ like most do (well its a tiny nation so who cares?) as we have an extraordinary situation here, and possibly now the last CV naïve population on earth. Its all about to change despite the new wave of insane policies, which i'm sure you're aware of! Secondly, what a great record to have (which is why i buy physical print copies for my children to read and reference in the future) of the events as they unfolded, and thanks so much for risking so much for many millions of people to have a source of truth.

My only request/suggestion is that now we need you to take a look at the "why". I think your writing does a great job of the what and the who, but I feel like you've maybe avoided the why, for fear of being labelled the dreaded "conspiracy theorist". To be honest, I think this is why perhaps some of your expectations and predictions (as you readily admit to) have been wrong, where perhaps you've assumed the best in people. IMHO you must get to the why, the motivations driving decisions to be able to predict the near term, and out maneuver them. What is their strategy and why? I am not a writer at all, but I have run my own, and led some significant businesses (in NZ at least) and it feels a little like the board report. Reporting the data is great and super important. without it poor decisions get made. But to build a plan and strategy and out-compete, you need to understand the why.

All the best, with utmost respect

I’m reading & enjoying your book but was surprised you didn’t disclose the truth about Herman Chain’s illness and death. Mr. Cain had stage IV cancer metastasized to his liver. Yes, he was high risk and many would say he should have stayed home. I prefer to think he wanted to do as much good as he could in his final days.

Thank you Alex! I bought the audiobook and hardcover to preserve your accurate historical rendering. Must read for anyone trying to understand the last two years. Phenomenal book and extremely well written. It also helped me find you on Substack which I have loved since I subscribed. Your accurate reporting is critical for all of us. THANK YOU!!!!!

Is it available in GB? One thing Alex, I will buy it if you tell me what your extraordinary attack on Robert Malone on Fox was really about?

Also read The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert Kennedy.

Hi Alex. Amazon are STILL blocking the kindle purchase of your book. I've tried several times now over the last 2 or three weeks. The purchase is BLOCKED by a CDC banner which is the only thing that can be clicked on. Shopping cart totally blocked. Thought you'd like to know. I've sent you a screenshot via email.

Plan on getting it but certainly not from Amazon. Their fake come on prices and the issue of creating a monster you don’t want are two good reasons. Just finished the Scott Atlas book and yours is next. We are living some real history here.

Already a proud owner! I also bought a copy for my Mother for Christmas and surprisingly she is currently reading it, even though she comes from the generation of “mainstream media would never lie”..I’m working on her!

Let me put in a plug for this book. It's one of the best written books I've ever read. It's the rare type of book that is so well written that even if you had nearly zero interest in pandemics or Covid, you would enjoy reading it. The reasoning is sharp and incisive, and the writing itself is beautiful and totally cogent. Nietzsche wrote: "At every step, one has to wrestle for truth . . . The service of truth is the hardest service." Read this book to learn the truth about Covid and to be able to recognize all the lies and deceptions we have been fed by people, who in the final analysis, are evil, power-hungry Little Hitlers.

I have no doubt you are right. After reading the book, it trumps any talking head and their unsubstantiated opinion, based on fear and Fauci.
