I'm grateful for your obsession. I am also obsessed. My significant other is also not thrilled about my obsession. My friends don't get it either. I don't understand their indifference. I don't understand how everyone doesn't see this tyrannical approach to Covid from governments around the world is the most consequential event to-date in our lifetimes. It scares me that people don't get that or either support it.

Isn’t it interesting he doesn't dispute facts in the book?

My son and I don't have the best father/son relationship. But I understand his thoughts as if they were my own. I'm sure your father understood you. Who could ever imagine that our government could turn family against family, neighbor against neighbor. God has a plan.

There's not one person that hasn't lost relationships over this crap. Unless you're a weasel of a liberal that lives in an echo chamber

My Dad decided recently that I was obsessed and absolutely insisted that I had to do something about it. He was deeply concerned about where my obsession was taking me. So... I did something about it and started volunteering to gather signatures on petitions to put questions on the 2022 ballot in my state. Problem solved! We're still friends, by the way, and he's even signed the petitions.

LOL, notice he doesn't dispute any data but instead issues a personal attack against Alex for writing about his vulnerability in regards to his relationship with his father. What a world...

I am married to a good guy. Academically very bright. We dated in high school. I was 14, he was 17. We came from very different backgrounds. Mine was stoic conservative. Well educated. His family put little value on education, mostly because they were drunk the vast majority of the time. My husband was a superior student. They never noticed. My husband was also a very, very wild boy. At 14, I was desperately trying to head off disaster. He was going to end up in jail. So I stood my ground. He must knock it off. I walked away to hopefully save him from himself if I meant anything. It took a year. Lots of misery on my part. He saw the light. He would have missteps after we married early, but by 25, the good guy appeared permanently.

I would after that stand my ground on matters that lost me friends, huge interruptions with my family at times, and yes caused significant challenges in our marriage. My fierce devotion to truth and a steady moral compass has not been easy for my husband the “get along” guy. While I was born a fighter, it was my 6th grade teacher, Hugh McCotter that changed me forever. He felt I was duty bound to stand up for causes I believed in.

When I decided to challenge the medical community concerning my cancer, that was hard on my family that strongly disagreed with my decision. Friends dropped me. It is never easy to go against the tide. It feels lonely. Who will really care about a person’s sacrifice? I knew who needed to be satisfied. That would be me. A person must be true to themselves.

Alex is doing the right thing. His fight has cost him much. He will be stronger having done so.

Alex, all I have for you is gratitude, endless gratitude. My family is all blue pill, and it’s been tough to navigate. I am in awe of your courage and strength. Thank you for leading in so many ways, including by example.

What a sad sack he is. Meanwhile, I got Pandemia the day it came out and I am so appreciative for not only the book but also for for your constant and relentless digging into and presenting the data of this pandemic from the very beginning. That is what we all wanted...honest data. Your voice provided that.

Being a retired surgeon I get frequent calls from friends, family and even old patients. I'm frankly never inclined to talk about Covid and even refrain at social events. The reason? I'm not sure whether those who ask want me to opine on Covid, the cold virus or Covid, the mental disorder.

Sorry for the ugliness. And thank you for your sacrifices. Standing for truth gets you called names. But when the truth comes to light and you have been calling out the lies…it should be worth something.

When you see stuff like this excerpt from a text message I received

"(name withheld) started embalming within the last year. He said Every single body that has had the vaccine is full of blood clots. He said one was so bad they couldn't even embalm it correctly."

Its hard to believe this could possibly be kept a secret for so long and that so many people would be victims of the hoax. I find myself wondering when anyone who dies under any kind of unusual circumstsnces, did they have the jab? Probably many more than we'll ever know.

He was a frequent commenter on Glenn Loury's Substack. I called him out a few times for his constant accusations of Glenn's guests as racists, regardless of what that guest actually said. It became overwhelming, as he often hijacked the comments section.

I complained that he didn't even give Glenn the courtesy of being a paid subscriber, he was freeloading and still grandstanding.

Seems he found a new victim. He's a troll.

I loved the book Pandemia, felt such a confirmation in it of all the insanity and dystopia of the past two years. Keep on doing what you do!!!

Funny how they never discuss the merits, just personal attacks.

In fairness though, everyone getting off twitter would make the world a better place.

Alex, I'm sorry that people are so hurtful. Using a parent's death of someone you don't even know to advance your agenda is reprehensible. You obviously have wonderful values that your parents instilled in you. We all have disagreements with the our loved ones. That's called living. Fight the good fight and keep up being an inspiration to many. Although getting Covid did a number on me, I'm so happy that people like you inspired me to research what was happening throughout the pandemic.

I have always said, the best satisfaction is quiet. When you see all thats going on and things flipping and friends realizing you were right etc there is nothing that needs to be said. I mentioned it in another thread. Myself and a handful of others were let go from our jobs in July 2020. I have had a TOOOOON of time to do research and dig and read etc. I've been Richard Dreyfus from Close Encounters since March 2020. I am GRATEFUL for these last 18 months of having this time to be closer to my family but to be able to zoom out and zoom in as needed to get to the heart of things. I have friends almost daily go hey whats going to happen next? Any hardcore vax pusher, friend or family doesn't dare challenge me based on the reams of data and info I can produce. Had I not found guys like Alex and some amazing other like minded folks on twitter...well..I don't know where I would be. Oddly enough to me, the last 2 years I'm calling it Round 1. We beat some big bosses to get to the next level of this wild Black Mirror holodeck game. We may have 2 years to breathe some but stay focused and vigilant and keep pushing back at the status quo and building community. Divide and conquer still means something. But don't let them win.

That clown worked for the Guardian. Enough said

I’ve been accused of being obsessed by some friends too. To which I say, there is not a single thing more important to me than protecting my family and the values I’ve worked so hard to raise them with. So if being obsessed with that is a bad thing? Guilty! And everyone who didn’t fight against this will ride our coat tails to freedom (hopefully). Perhaps someday they’ll appreciate our obsession. Thanks for your hard work, Alex.

My “original plan” in March 2020, to fight against the ‘machine’ that was destroying my HS senior’s & junior’s life, was to set myself on fire on the lawn of the Governor’s mansion. And then a friend told me to sign up for Twitter to follow Alex Berenson. You literally saved my life by the fact that you were speaking out. Please don’t stop.

What a little weasel.

But you need to apologize to Dr. Malone.

You also have children to think about, not just a wife. And the world our elite want to build is not going to be a safe or happy place for them.

This is why people fight. Most guys are happy having a normal life as long as they and their kids are left alone in general. The govt is not allowing this. Pharma isn't allowing this.

And so people fight for a better future.

I, for one, still very much respect Alex Berenson, in spite of the Dr. Malone issue. Alex B is a journalist. He apparently didn't want to get caught up in Dr. Malone's assertions, perhaps for legal reasons; as he is in a situation where the powers-that-be may try to silence him by lawsuit. Possibly Alex didn't know he would be in the same interview with Dr. Malone. But, that said, I purchased a small quantity of Ivermectin....just in case I or my family may need it.

Not making a comment about what your book is really about disqualifies him from any serious attention.

The exuberance of discovering truth turns to frustration when despite the truth being revealed so many believe the lies. I feel it every day around friends, co workers, etc. Thank you for your courage Alex!

I'm not sure it's worth engaging this guy whoever he is. Seems like a distraction from the good work you're doing.

Guess what? Everyone who takes a controversial position on a topic is going to have some hardship. It's called leadership. Or bravery. And when you're committed to it you can damage relationships. I'm pretty sure freeing slaves was not so popular 200 years ago. Nor was letting women vote. Or gay rights. Or a lot of things that changed society for the better. Yeah so doing the right thing, following your moral compass, can be really hard in lots of ways. That's why most people don't do it. I have made zero friends with my position on this pandemic. I have maybe persuaded one out of 10 people I have talked to to take a second look at things.

I shudder to think what this pandemic response, all these life-taking policies, would be like without people like Alex, Kennedy, big tree, McCull,ough, And many others pushing back, asking questions, looking at the science.

But Alex I think you need to keep an eye on getting baited.

There is no question that this fight has taken a toll on you, Alex. No question that you have suffered loss, friends, family, and support from people you believed in. No question that you have been attacked personally by ‘both’ sides of the isle. And yet, as the quote goes in ‘Moneyball’ from the manager of the Red Socks to Brad Pitt: The first guy through the door is always the bloodiest.’ I know that from my personal profession. I’ve gone through many doors of bad guys and have been injured, but the truth is- I’d do it again. Because that is who I am. Not many people will do that. As your expression goes: You do you. And thank God for this country that you do, Alex. Stay the course. Stay in the fight. Never give up.

While a few of your personal relationships may have been strained, you can know that you kept many (I dunno, at least a couple hundred thousand) of us out of the loony bin. Some people don't know what it's like to have conviction.

My so-called obsession saved my mother's life. At 88, she contracted Covid. (Delta not Omicron as it was in mid November). She had no comorbidities and was very healthy. I had ivermectin already on hand along with a Z pack and gave her the medication at 430 in the afternoon. at 730pm, I was able to get her into an infusion center to take the monoclonal antibody treatment. That night around midnight, she had a bad fall. Due to her injuries, I had no choice but to take her to the hospital. I was terrified of the politics of the medical establishment and refused to leave even though I was not allowed to be there, since she had Covid. I gave her a second Ivermectin dose while she lay in the hospital bed. Within two days, she had no Covid symptoms and she was able to concentrate her strength on healing from the fall. The doctors on the Covid wing were incredulous that she showed no signs of Covid. I told them about her monoclonal antibody treatment and half of them didnt even know what this was. Criminal. She was able to go home 9 days later to continue recovery from the fall. If I had not been following the lies and misinformation in what the mass media was telling us, and collecting information about the therapeutic options available, I would have been overwhelmed. We were prepared and took rapid action and I thank God for you, for America's Front Line Doctors, Dr. Scott Atlas, Dr. Pierre Kory and all the signers of the Great Barrington Declaration. You have performed yeoman's work and been instrumental in saving untold lives. Thank you for putting it all on the line in pursuit of truth.

Not sure what the point is with this post? What exactly are you asking your subscribers to do? I left Twitter to get away from the cancel culture bullshit.

What I find so ironic, is the people who were shouting just a couple years about the evil drug companies who were price gouging Americans, are the same people who are all in on the vaccine mandates. They do not care that these companies are making BILLIONS with no liability. Fear will do crazy things to your mind.

I'm most concerned that we have no where else to go. In Nazi Germany there were other countries who saw what was right and people could flee there. Now, there are just pockets of truth seekers against a large mass of well funded death seekers.

I am familiar with Nathan J Robinson. 6 months ago or so the Socialist Editor stonewalled his own writers' attempts at establishing the magazine as a democratic-Coop. Which comes off as hypocritical. I'm of the left. I've read his articles. It was disappointing.

He also got in a tidbid of trouble for taking shots at Israel that lead him to be gently pushed out the door for I think the guardian. Or some left leaning outlet. The tweet was mild. It just noted that in every stimulus package the US passes there seems to be money set aside for Israel.

I first heard of him when he did a takedown piece on Ben Shapiro. He then followed suit on Jordan Peterson. As a guy who hates/respects/then hates again Ben Shapiro I was glad someone tried to take him down a peg. But his Jordan Peterson takedown struck me as being hypocritical as it took shots at how nuanced Peterson can be...which is the mark of a lot of intellectual writing, including Robinson's own.

Anyway thats what I know of him.
