Abstract:
"Pandemia explains how an illness that many people will never even know they had became the occasion for economically ruinous lockdowns and the suppression of personal freedom on a previously unimaginable scale." -- Provided by the publisher.
Berenson tells the appalling true story of the duplicitous experts, power-hungry officials, and scaremongering journalists who botched the response to a global pandemic. Partnering with big tech to frighten and control the public, they exploited the crisis to achieve unprecedented control over our bodies, our lives, and even what we're allowed to say. Berenson shows how "Team Apocalypse" and their wildly inaccurate models corrupted science, endangered our constitutional liberties, and put the very idea of truth at risk. -- adapted from jacket.
