Dr. Bhattacharya is indeed GREAT. He will go down in history as one of the most courageous--and most persecuted--voices during the Great Covid Panic.
If only the medical bureaucrats had LISTENED to him and the other Great Barrington Declaration doctors, our lives, our society, would've been so different over the last three years.
I will listen to this in its entirety with the shred of hope I still have for America. One positive outcome of this covid debacle has been my favorite thinkers finding each other and having excellent conversations. That phenom seems to be expanding exponentially and I am praying these conversations will leak out into America's Covidian Culture until the dam breaks and drowns out their idiotic group think.
Just listened to the podcast Alex. 👏 It was awesome to hear the whole sordid Covid mess in your voice (as opposed to your writing). Learned your history too which was awesome! I have Pandemia but will look for your spy novels now (didn’t know about those!) Thanks for continuing to be a rational and informative reporter. Well worth the subscription price!
I am a subscriber to Illusions of Consensus, as well as Unreported Truths, and several others. It is exciting and hopeful there are more and more places the real truth can be found, or at the very least, searched for.
Great discussion! Good to hear Alex's background and connection to Homeland(!). I was first excited about Alex when he tweeted "Virus gonna virus". I was hooked.
A great summary of Alex Berenson's journey to where he is now in his life. A strange trip it has been and still being written.
Four take away points:
1. Follow the money. The Pfizer study for the approval of the mRNA vaccine never included the most vulnerable in the population which are people with an age > 65. Maybe, Pfizer was concern that the result would be null. Mr Berenson stated that drug studies are constructed.to get the result that is desired. Better to obtain a result that validates the use of the vaccine for the entire population of the world vs the targeted population of the elderly. As the physician, I always thought that medical efforts to prevent the spread of COVID should have a surgically target approach.
2. For every action there is a reaction, another tenet that I follow. Even with the best intentions, one action leads to a reaction. When you close the schools when the IFR for ages < 19 is 1/333,000 for COVID, there is a dramatic decrease in educational progress for students for a loss of greater than one year.
3. It is not misinformation but evolving information. I have been telling this to my patients this for long period of time. I believed in the mRNA COVID vaccine at first and my Christmas gift to myself in 2020 was my first Pfizer vaccine dose on 12/24/20. Now I have lost faith on all mRNA vaccines.
4. Everything you know is wrong. An infamous comedy group from San Francisco in the late 1960's, the Firesign Theatre, had an album in 1974 by that name . It seems that during COVID, concepts that I was taught in medical school were stated to be wrong. For example, that a vaccine based on one aspect of the virus was better than natural immunity.
I’m glad to hear McKenzie decided to feature you, especially after that Taylor Lorenz piece he just ran. It’s not her politics that made me wince at seeing Substack boost her work, but rather her utter lack of not just journalistic but human integrity. And in the pinned comment to that post, McKenzie makes it sound as if Lorenz is a victim of online discourse. I couldn’t even engage with the piece after I read that.
Zoe Chace from “This American Life” really needs to listen to this pod after her misleading story on Covid in FL that was released this week. Off to tag her. It was a really great pod! Bravo Alex, Rav and Dr. B!!!

May more and more vindication come your way!!!!!!!!!
There was so much packed into those 2 hours. So appreciative of it. Thank you - all three of you!
And once you are accepted inside the mainstream media ecosystem, what’s the plan? Burn it down?

Great interview Alex, really enjoyed it. Keep it going, don’t let up on the Covid situation.

And they called you a youngster, Alex. Aww.
