Pandemia: How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives

Early Italian data painted the same picture. By March 16, it showed that Covid almost exclusively killed people over 70. Of the first 1,700 Italians to die, not one was under 30. Only 13 were under 50. Nearly 9 in 10 of the deaths had occurred in people over 70. In fact, nearly as many Italians over 90 (yes, 90) died as under 70.34

And British government statistics showed close to 70 percent of the dead were fully vaccinated. Another 5 percent had had at least one dose.44

For example, physicians who have made a business treating chronic Lyme disease regularly prescribe long-term courses of antibiotics, despite a lack of evidence.

Having the activists on his side helped Fauci in another, more tangible way—the harder they pushed for funding, the bigger his research budgets became. In 1984, when he took over the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, it was the fifth-largest of the NIH’s departments, with a budget of $320 million. By 2005, its budget had incre

In response, doctors tried dozens of therapies. The first to gain wide attention was an anti-malarial drug called hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ.

a soft lockdown that shut most schools and businesses—would actually increase infections inside households by 25 percent. The harsher alternative of “whole household isolation” could cause those infections to double.

By late January, the United Kingdom was averaging more than 1,200 Covid deaths a day—the equivalent of 6,000 a day in the United States.28

On January 14, the WHO famously tweeted, “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus.”5

In contrast, our currently available vaccines lose their power in a matter of months—as Pfizer itself now acknowledges. At the FDA’s meeting on September 17, 2021, William Gruber, the Pfizer executive in charge of vaccine development, said the United States would face more than five million additional Sars-Cov-2 infections if it did not immediately
