Kevin Grice: Finally the truth about covid is coming out. Need more people to be held accountable for the disgusting things politicians and bureaucrats did to the people.

Alexander Greer: Tells it as it is.

Randy Otto: The fact that so many people blindly criticized this work should be compelling enough. Those people are afraid to confront facts because of the cognitive dissonance it would create; it would force them to challenge a narrative they have been blindly following fo months and expose them as irrational. So it is easier to lash out than to confront their own shortcomings.

Judy Williams: I don't think people should ever rely completely on what the TV says. Why? Because TV stations can only report what their owners (you know, the billionaires who own such entities) want them to report. With this pandemic, I've only heard one side of the story - basically that covid is deadly, so we all have to behave like Sheeple: Line up to be tested using a PCR test that was not even designed for covid testing. I dislike TV stations shouting things like this at me: Get tested! Save lives! You owe it to your fellow man! To me, it's all BS. People have the internet at their disposal so for goodness sakes, they should use it! Research what the TVs are reporting, look for different opinions that are not so biased like TV stations. Be your own resource and find out information that is hidden from the public. Anyway, this book was well researched and makes a heck of a lot of sense. People should read it; it's well worth it.

Rainer Boegle: This is an amazing overview of the facts and bad visions of the anointed which have imposed these terrible lockdowns on the world.
We need to end this madness.
Everyone must read this, don't avoid this face up to the facts.
These truths hurt but if you truly want to help people you have to tell them the truth, if you want to help yourself then spread fear as the media did, please stop.

Spread the news because no-one else will.

A great book!

Tony: I’ve read both installments, and while I fully support someone revealing uncomfortable truths about the futility of lockdowns, and how panic leads to terrible decision making by “experts”, the very fact that a writer NEEDS to write booklets like this to inform the public about mass delusion and how “experts” ignore evidence to the contrary is infuriating and terrifying. A few leaders are now opposing a second wave of lockdowns, noting the economic and human consequences that a person of average IQ predicted from the outset.

Making a healthy population live like hermits instead of protecting the most vulnerable (hospitals, nursing homes) is backward. That’s why this pandemic has been as deadly as it has been. As Berenson stated in the first booklet, the median death age is around 70. Countries like Sweden and Japan, who didn’t lock down, show a similar case bell curve as those that did.

All in all, Berenson shows why attempting to lock down a modern civilization (urbanized, globalized) creates such panic that people make terrible decisions, both lay people and policy makers alike. And full lock down measures are impossible, because people still need to...

Marlin Guidegun: The pamphlet is a short read and makes some good but general arguments, I expected more, frankly. Basically, if I had compiled all of the Facebook posts and news article comments that I had written it would have told a similar story. Still, for three bucks, it provides some good links to studies that you might not have known about and if you still believe most of what you hear in the media, you should read this to gain some insight into how, for all of the talk of experts and "follow the science", the scientific underpinnings for lockdown decisions was sparse and contradictory. Basically, the scientists panicked like the rest of us and threw their disciplined approach to policy recommendations out the window. The pamphlet could have covered much more ground, but this debacle will be studied for decades and it is just a pamphlet and priced accordingly. I recommend it, just don't expect to be overwhelmed by facts and figures, it makes broad arguments instead. I dinged it a star because the author phones in the section on lockdown impacts and I would have wanted some metrics. It is hard to believe that this is what passes for controversial these days - the author just strings...

Julie: Finally a common sense look at the information out there. I have felt like an outcast as a primary care provider that believes the lockdown was a horrible idea from the beginning. And as a provider that visits patients at nursing homes I can see on a daily basis the horrible effects on the residents- not due to the virus but because of loneliness and lack of specialty care. When this is all over and statistics on alcohol abuse, domestic violence, overdose and suicides are released I believe it will be shocking. This virus has never proven to be as virulent as a bad seasonal flu, and that is not just my 25 years of medical experience talking! Look at the actual science. My daughter who is a journalist checked the sourcing for both books and states it is impeccable. This book also gave me great insight into just how unreliable the media is today, but when the Washington Post is owned by Amazon- what do you expect! THANK YOU so very much Mr.Berenson for having the guts to write this and for Elon Musk for ensuring that the public gets access to it. I have bought 50 more copies of part 1 and 2 and am distributing them throughout my community. I hope others do the same, especially...

Tony M.: Very interesting read, well footnoted, any intelligent person can decide on their own as to the validity of the topic. I would like to see more information on what other countries have done regarding Covid-19 and statistics from the medical community. I don't think I seen any in depth articles on how people that had the virus and recovered are doing. What is their story?

The most important question is why did Amazon ban these books originally? I'm really concerned with companies (Facebook, Twitter, Google and now Amazon) performing censorship. It's bad enough what is happening with the news media. I applaud Amazon and Elon Musk for making sure this does not happen with Amazon.

Only negative I would have is cost of book (2.99 for 54 pages is a little high). Hopefully next volume will be more like 1.99 (since it will be the 3rd book I've bought).

I spend thousands of dollars a year on buying merchandise from Amazon. I would guess that 90% of the items for sale are from China, and Amazon obviously doesn't mind that. Would be nice if I could choose whose items I buy if I knew prior to purchasing where they originated. I see more and more questions asking for...
