Congrats! Important book to document history and remind future generations of the madness we saw during Covid. Hope we learned the right lessons.

Congratulations!!! A real labor of love! (And pain, I imagine! ;). So glad to see it in press, and hope it will generate the conversations we really need. Look forward to reading!

Super stoked for you, David! You have been a shining light and a touchstone to reality for sooo many people during this last 5 years. Your work encouraged countless people that were losing hope and no doubt you helped save many from despair with your words then. Hopefully your words now capture a vast audience and help open other eyes so this does not happen again.

We are called to forgive, but good grief it is hard with this one. I pray this accounting will lead to a new environment where others see the error in their ways and we return to a place where free inquiry and bodily autonomy once again become the most prized values in our society.

I can’t wait for the discussion and party here in Berkeley! Congratulations!!

I’m on the first chapter on the media’s complicity. Hell hath no fury like a mother of three Covid-era tweens.

Congratulations on getting this published, and thank you for your courage in speaking up about this topic. I'm coming to your launch event in DC together with my son, who was in first grade when the schools shut down for a year and a half in our town. I can't believe it's been five years since.

Congratulations, David! I'm especially impressed that you got this in with MIT Press, who I have some experience with. I did a painfully large volume of research on these topics, but eventually opted not to write a book because I knew the major publishers wouldn't touch it, and doubted that the academic presses would either. You've proved me wrong - and I thank you for it, and for the time you've put into this.

Stay wonderful!

Chris.

Congratulations! What a smart and thoughtful take on this craziness. I am proud to say I knew David in highschool and he was impressive back then, but now, all I can say is Wow! Excellent!!

I think we’ll look back on your book as just a slice of the tragedy that was Covid 19.

Just one example https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/covid-19-leaves-its-mark-on-the-brain-significant-drops-in-iq-scores-are/

Mr. Zweig, I have just started reading your new book. If you are looking for new article material, please consider doing a story on supposed Republican majority Alabama’s medical tyranny and dystopia. We have a feckless state government (executive, legislative, and judiciary) with no intention of controlling the Alabama Department of Public Health and its Director, Dr. Scott Harris. County, city, and state officials have no desire to expose their complicity with the medical industry in the COVID response.
