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!!
Almost finished the book. Not great for my mental health as it takes me back to Spring 2020 when I learned the values I thought I shared with most of my friends, family and colleagues (open debate, personal autonomy, evidence based reasoning) were largely illusory. A bit like going to church your whole life only to one day learn nobody else in the congregation actually believes in God. Totally jarring. The public health response to COVID totally broke my brain. Wonderful to see the craziness of the response so meticulously documented, but also totally maddening.
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.
You were really articulated, precise and convincing on the "Winston Marshall show", although the host hadn't taken the time to read your book prior to the interview.
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!!
Congrats! Important book to document history and remind future generations of the madness we saw during Covid. Hope we learned the right lessons.

Congrats Dave! I pre-ordered so the book should be on my doorstep today. See you soon in DC!
Congratulations on your amazing book launch. I look forward to reading it

I’m on the first chapter on the media’s complicity. Hell hath no fury like a mother of three Covid-era tweens.
Ordered the book on Amazon back in February. Excited to receive it today! Thank you David for being a fearless truth teller.

Congratulations! Started reading it over breakfast this morning, and it's already so good.

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