  • BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE: The FDA may add a strict “black box” warning on mRNA Covid shots for kids and teens.

    Alex Berenson - Dec 1st 2025 12:37pm EST

    BREAKING The Food and Drug Administration may soon place a so-called “black box” warning on mRNA Covid vaccines to alert physicians and parents of their link to childhood deaths. A black box warning is the strictest the agency can impose. It is generally the last step the agency takes before forcing a manufacturer to stop […]

  • URGENT: mRNA Covid jabs should NEVER have been approved for children or young adults

    Alex Berenson - Nov 30th 2025 10:35am EST

    I will have more to say soon about the Food and Drug Administration report confirming the mRNA Covid shots killed kids, but I want to make this clear: The companies knew mRNAs didn’t work for kids and had serious and even deadly side effects. They knew because that’s what their own trial data showed. They […]

  • BREAKING/URGENT: mRNA COVID VACCINES KILLED AT LEAST 10 KIDS, THE FDA REPORTS

    Alex Berenson - Nov 29th 2025 1:03pm EST

    BREAKING: Food and Drug Administration scientists have found Covid mRNA jabs killed at least 10 children, the FDA’s chief vaccine regulator told staffers Friday. The real number of children and teenagers killed by mRNA vaccines is likely much higher, Dr. Vinay Prasad – wrote in a six-page note to staffers. After looking at 96 deaths […]

  • Happy Thanksgiving! (And I hope you will take advantage of this holiday discount and support UT!)

    Alex Berenson - Nov 27th 2025 10:03am EST

    Happy Thanksgiving to every Unreported Truths reader, whether you live in a country that celebrates the holiday or not. I am thankful for many, many things, most importantly that my kids are healthy and (usually) happy. I am thankful to live in a democracy where I can work and live and pray as I please. […]

  • VERY URGENT: Pfizer’s mRNA flu shot failed its pivotal clinical trial in adults 65 and older

    Alex Berenson - Nov 26th 2025 1:33pm EST

    Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine for influenza failed when tested against the standard flu shot in a 27,000-person trial of older adults — a failure Pfizer has not announced for years. Almost three times as many people who received the mRNA shot suffered acute respiratory failure or major kidney problems. More died, too. Overall, mRNA patients were […]

  • On the perverse incentives driving social media’s loudest voices

    Alex Berenson - Nov 25th 2025 2:49pm EST

    I don’t want the gatekeepers back. I’m the last person to want the gatekeepers back. The legacy media gatekeepers tried to hammer me into silence in 20201. They failed. By 2021 they were so frustrated that they cheered when the White House and Pfizer made Twitter ban me. In a meta-irony, since then they have […]

  • What do YOU think of Donald Trump’s 2025?

    Alex Berenson - Nov 24th 2025 10:47am EST

    Last night, a reader wrote in to offer President Trump an unsolicited “D-” for his work: A D-, not an F only because Trump gets a good amount of credit for immigration. Trump is what he is, a showman, and nothing else. Lots of glittering generalities – nothing of substance. — This reader is no […]

  • Our elites are so mediocre

    Alex Berenson - Nov 23rd 2025 11:32am EST

    Every time I read about another rich guy cozying up to Jeffrey Epstein, I flash to 2020. That may seem strange. Hear me out. You may vaguely recall I didn’t like Covid lockdowns – and said so once or twice. Some people disagreed. Journalists sure did. But journalists lean hard left (by lean I mean […]

  • It did happen here

    Alex Berenson - Nov 22nd 2025 10:45am EST

    The Old Town of Munich — the Aldstadt — isn’t very old. The American and British World War 2 air raids here were not as deadly as those on Dresden or Berlin. Still, they destroyed 70 percent of Munich. Most buildings in the Aldstadt are post-war reconstructions. As they should be. As Abraham Lincoln said […]

  • I am in Hungary talking about cannabis and the insanity of American drug policy

    Alex Berenson - Nov 19th 2025 5:45pm EST

    If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few days… In September, Mathias Corvinus Collegium, a conservative-leaning Hungarian private university, invited me to speak at a conference on drug prevention in Budapest. It’s a bit of hike, but I’m glad I came. The conference includes some of the few other Americans speaking out against the […]

  • Ralph Baric, the world’s top coronavirus researcher, discussed “human adaptation” of coronaviruses with the CIA before Covid began

    Alex Berenson - Nov 12th 2025 4:38pm EST

    Years before Sars-COV-2 emerged from China, Dr. Ralph Baric — a North Carolina virologist who worked closely with the Chinese lab that is the likely source of the virus — met with American spies to discuss the “human adaptation” of coronaviruses. Emails released by Kentucky senator Rand Paul reveal the meetings, which again raise the […]

  • The war on drugs needs to be fought from the demand side

    Alex Berenson - Nov 10th 2025 4:34pm EST

    Friday, I wrote about the bipartisan morality crisis of America’s leaders. Along the way, I criticized the Trump administration for attacking speedboats it says are moving drugs. Blowing those ships up without warning is murder, I wrote.1 A lot of you think I’m wrong, we should destroy these boats — and their passengers. So. Say […]

  • Honor still matters

    Alex Berenson - Nov 7th 2025 3:15pm EST

    Yesterday, I had the chance to visit West Point with a Special Forces officer. The officer, an Unreported Truths reader, was back for a reunion and reached out to offer me a tour. I gladly agreed. I’ve been to West Point before, but never alongside an active-duty officer. The United States Military Academy is beautiful […]

  • Why do so many Americans feel so financially stressed when the overall economy is strong?

    Alex Berenson - Nov 6th 2025 7:01pm EST

    By most measures, the American economy is in excellent shape. America’s economic output is now about $30 trillion — $85,000 per person, far more than other big countries. The United States still accounts for one-quarter of the world’s total output, the same share as 35 years ago. China’s rise has come mostly at the expense […]

  • How much of a role did inflation play in the Republican defeats on Tuesday?

    Alex Berenson - Nov 6th 2025 12:16pm EST

    How bad is inflation? And how much of a role did rising prices play in the spanking Republicans received two days ago? Official statistics put inflation at 3 percent annually in September. But many Unreported Truths readers feel inflation is much worse — and believe voter anger over it and President Trump’s apparent indifference to […]

  • Will Republicans heed last night’s election results?

    Alex Berenson - Nov 5th 2025 11:12am EST

    An alarm rang for Republicans and Donald Trump last night. Are they self-aware enough to hear it? The Democratic Party is bleeding. But yesterday Democrats easily won governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey – and every close race in the Virginia legislature. On X, the excuses from the right are flowing: these are just […]

  • POLL: Should I take a break from nonfiction to write another John Wells novel?

    Alex Berenson - Nov 3rd 2025 2:20pm EST

    Before Unreported Truths, there was John Wells. In 2006, Random House published The Faithful Spy, my debut novel, featuring the story of John Wells, an American CIA operative under deep cover in Afghanistan. In 2007, it won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel – still my only real writing prize. It’s no lie to […]

  • A retired doctor explains the US medical crisis

    Alex Berenson - Nov 3rd 2025 10:41am EST

    I wrote last night on X that I’m starting to wonder if the American medical system may face financial collapse. The cost of private health insurance is becoming unsustainable, up to $50,000 a year in high-cost states (you read that right). More coming on that soon. But cost is only part of the problem. The […]

  • Your thoughts on the insanity of building hospitals that look like five-star hotels

    Alex Berenson - Nov 1st 2025 3:14pm EDT

    It’s a guarantee, a lead-pipe lock: when I write about the American healthcare crisis, UT readers will fill my in-box with detailed, thoughtful notes about their experiences. That’s exactly what happened after yesterday’s piece about a hugely expensive outpatient surgery center that just opened in Miami – a building that reveals the perverse priorities of […]

  • Why a seven-story glass building in North Miami forced the government to shut down

    Alex Berenson - Oct 31st 2025 3:03pm EDT

    It’s a nice building. A very nice building. In September, the University of Miami Health System opened an outpatient medical center in North Miami, part of a $4 billion development project called “SoLé Mia.” Last week, the building got a lot of attention on X. Sadly, it was the wrong kind. A heart surgeon at […]

  • Could mRNA Covid shots help cancer patients?

    Alex Berenson - Oct 29th 2025 4:55pm EDT

    Since the mRNA Covid vaccines first began to fail in mid-2021, they’ve faced a long stream of bad news, from myocarditis to booster ineffectiveness. But the black parade seemingly ended last week, when Nature published research suggesting some cancer patients who received the jabs outlived those who did not. On cue, the Washington Post ran […]

  • A counterpoint on Kamala Harris

    Alex Berenson - Oct 28th 2025 6:26pm EDT

    In writing about about Kamala Harris’s memoir and her failed campaign since Sunday, I wanted to make the point that her loss really was not about her own problems as a campaigner. Like it or not, she debated Donald Trump to a draw, as the pills clearly showed. Yet despite the structural campaign advantages Democrats […]

  • Part 2: Kamala Harris’s road to nowhere

    Alex Berenson - Oct 28th 2025 12:50pm EDT

    (Second of two parts; Part 1 here.) Lots of pundits have offered lots of theories as to why Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump, despite vastly outspending him and receiving massive legacy media help. But a few words from Harris herself offer the truest explanation for her defeat. They come early in her memoir, 107 […]

  • Kamala Harris still has no idea why she lost to Donald Trump

    Alex Berenson - Oct 26th 2025 11:56am EDT

    (PART ONE OF TWO) The Democrats are in even more trouble than anyone thinks. Since last November, the left has eagerly sought excuses for Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump. With “Russian collusion” off the table, the post-mortems have focused on Harris’s supposed flaws as a candidate or the theory that — as Bernie Sanders […]

  • Why woke women make terrible leaders

    Alex Berenson - Oct 22nd 2025 4:52pm EDT

    Wir schaffen das! In English, the words mean: We can do this! So said Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor from 2005 to 2021, as she hectored her citizens to accept 2 million refugees from Syria and other Muslim countries. Observe, though: as calls to action go, Merkel’s was watery. Not: “we must do this” — a […]
