  • Last chance to buy The Fatherhood Manifesto in time for Father’s Day

    Alex Berenson - Jun 19th 2026 8:02pm EDT

    The Fatherhood Manifesto is on a roll. Great talks with Megyn Kelly and other top podcasters. An excerpt in The Free Press. An op-ed on Fox News. All since yesterday. As for your opinions, which are what really matter? The customer reviews are crazily strong, averaging 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Not bad […]

  • FOUR DAYS TO FATHER’S DAY

    Alex Berenson - Jun 17th 2026 3:22pm EDT

    Remind dad why he matters, in the face of a culture insisting he doesn’t. And give him a laugh or two. (Trust me, he’ll want to hear about my dislocated thumb.) The Fatherhood Manifesto is averaging an almost perfect rating on Amazon, 4.9 stars, even better than I hoped. The paperback and Kindle are available, […]

  • The legacy media can’t quit you, mRNA

    Alex Berenson - Jun 17th 2026 12:48pm EDT

    I am so tired of having to fact-check legacy media lies about the mRNA shots. But they won’t stop, so I can’t. On Monday, scientists released a paper claiming Covid booster jabs might reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 7 percent. The findings come from observational real-world data, not a randomized clinical […]

  • It’s time for transparent pricing in medicine

    Alex Berenson - Jun 16th 2026 1:59pm EDT

    No surprise, Sunday’s article about 10 possible fixes for American healthcare sparked lots of reader suggestions, from minor to radical. I may run a second list with your ideas (or host a chat to discuss the issue). But I was struck by how many of you pushed one seemingly simple change: requiring open pricing for […]

  • Why was Pfizer’s head global lobbyist on a crucial call about Covid boosters with federal scientists as Pfizer’s mRNA jabs were failing?

    Alex Berenson - Jun 15th 2026 11:10pm EDT

    Was Pfizer serving the United States in 2021? Or the other way around? On July 12, 2021, top Biden Administration scientists held an urgent call to discuss a surge in Covid infections in people who had gotten mRNA jabs not long before. The new cases raised a medically and politically loaded question: would Americans need […]

  • 10 ways to save American healthcare!

    Alex Berenson - Jun 14th 2026 10:58am EDT

    First things first: One week to Father’s Day. I’ll have more to say about THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO soon. Your emails have been very supportive, and the great reviews keep pouring in on Amazon. So don’t wait. Get your copy now, in time for Father’s Day! — American medicine is a $5 trillion mess that eats […]

  • Ebola! Eeeeebola!

    Alex Berenson - Jun 12th 2026 3:10pm EDT

    Yesterday, the truth about measles. Today, Ebola. AND PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO ORDER THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO. FOR TIP #17, about how to protect your kids from media panic porn, and all the others. — — Richard Preston invented Ebola. No, Preston isn’t a virologist with a thirst for blood. He isn’t a scientist at all. […]

  • On the grim hype around measles

    Alex Berenson - Jun 11th 2026 12:53pm EDT

    As I may have mentioned once or twice, The Fatherhood Manifesto has 50 tips. Tip #17 reads as follows: Don’t scare your kids about existential, future of humanity issues. And don’t let the media scare your kids about them either. Not about Covid or whatever the pandemic du jour is. Not about climate change. And […]

  • A bracing conversation about the aftermath of Covid and mRNA hysteria

    Alex Berenson - Jun 10th 2026 7:31pm EDT

    If you aren’t a paid subscriber, or had to work, or maybe were just watching General Hospital (now in its 63rd season!), here’s the update on today’s chat about how UT readers feel five years after peak Covid jab hysteria. I hoped for positive stories, figuring many chatters had friends who’d apologized for shaming and […]

  • Let’s get this party started!

  • Four hours to the (subscriber-only) Covid/mRNA chat

    Alex Berenson - Jun 10th 2026 10:30am EDT

    Well, that escalated quickly. Yesterday, I wrote about a federal lawsuit involving the insufferable vaccine fanatic Dr. Peter Hotez. At the end, I included a 2025 piece about how a good friend had broken links between our families in 2021, and the hurt and anger that I still felt. The articles touched a nerve. Someone […]

  • It’s time for those of us who turned down the Covid shots to have a chat

    Alex Berenson - Jun 9th 2026 6:59pm EDT

    Seems I’m not the only one who has “a pit in my stomach” about 2021. After today’s article about Covid vaccine fanatic Peter Hotez, this email hit my inbox: Hi Alex, Over the last several years, many of us made the personal choice to refuse the COVID vaccines and spoke out against the mandates, lockdowns, […]

  • Ho-ho-(Peter) Hotez!

    Alex Berenson - Jun 9th 2026 3:03pm EDT

    Serious piece coming soon on sports, transgenderism, and kids. (Yes, it’s pegged to The Fatherhood Manifesto – which I hope you will buy and review! A LOT of people will soon be looking for last minute Father’s Day gifts. Amazon reviews really help.) But first I have to share some (hilarious and humiliating) news about […]

  • Substack has lost its way

    Alex Berenson - Jun 8th 2026 3:25pm EDT

    Back in the day — and by back in the day, I mean about four years ago — being on Substack meant something. It meant you gave people news or analysis the legacy media didn’t. Often, it meant you didn’t have a media background at all. You had a day job, and a point of […]

  • The cultural double standards for men and women have reached a new extreme

    Alex Berenson - Jun 8th 2026 10:42am EDT

    First off, thank you! With just a couple of emails to you yesterday, THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO is off to a great start. It’s #513 on Amazon (out of, well, about 10 zillion). Not bad for a book with a grand total of two cover colors. (Keep it simple, dads.) Please help keep the momentum going […]

  • In case you missed the 6 a.m. Sunday email – THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO is here!

    Alex Berenson - Jun 7th 2026 3:35pm EDT

    I realized after I sent out this morning’s email announcing The Fatherhood Manifesto that 6 a.m. Sunday was… maybe a little early? So (after my son’s AWESOME soccer game – he scored two goals in a 3-2 win) – I am letting you know again: THE PAPERBACK IS HERE – FOR $9.99 ON AMAZON! And […]

  • The Fatherhood Manifesto is here!

    Alex Berenson - Jun 7th 2026 6:21am EDT

    TODAY’S THE DAY. BUY THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO IN PRINT FOR $9.99! OR KINDLE FOR $3.99! — Even the left has noticed fathers need a boost. The New York Times just ran a pre-Father’s Day piece from Ms. Darby Saxbe extolling the virtues of fatherhood: Ultimately, the traits of a good dad are also the traits […]

  • Human (I hope) UT readers debate AI consciousness

    Alex Berenson - Jun 5th 2026 3:48pm EDT

    Here’s a little not-so-secret about Unreported Truths comment sections: the same names often pop up regularly. This phenomenon is not unique to UT. Some folks just like to weigh in! And I appreciate you. Having a lively comment section encourages people on the fence to add their own opinions. But I also like finding topics […]

  • Let’s just say no to Substack’s new (AI-based) comment censorship offering

    Alex Berenson - Jun 5th 2026 11:13am EDT

    Yep, it’s AI week at UT! Yesterday’s post on artificial intelligence consciousness sparked responses too smart not to share — I’ll have a follow-up soon. But first: On Wednesday, Substack announced a tool called “Reply Rules… [to] make it possible for even more people to be fully themselves and at home on Substack.” The feature […]

  • On the myth of AI consciousness – and what it means

    Alex Berenson - Jun 4th 2026 5:48pm EDT

    Claude may have some functional version of emotions or feelings. This is how Anthropic, the five-year-old, $1 trillion (yes, trillion) company that created the popular artificial intelligence model it calls “Claude,” describes its product. Spoiler alert: No, “Claude” does not have, cannot have, and will never have emotions or feelings. What Claude has is the […]

  • The verdict is in: Unreported Truths readers don’t want AI-generated articles

    Alex Berenson - Jun 4th 2026 12:21pm EDT

    Yesterday, apropos of my take on the explosion in AI-produced writing, the Atlantic1 ran a brilliant piece attacking the myth of artificial intelligence consciousness. I’m fashioning my own thoughts on that article. With AI taking an outsized role in our markets and politics, we need to think about what these engines are, and are not. […]

  • On the future of writing – and Unreported Truths

    Alex Berenson - Jun 3rd 2026 12:47pm EDT

    What happens to writers — and journalism — when the cost of writing falls to zero? We’re about to find out. Artificial intelligence engines can now write on almost any topic at a level that will satisfy most readers. They tell stories and make arguments. And they produce faster and more cheaply than any human […]

  • Your thoughts on “Men are trash, men are trash, men are trash…”

    Alex Berenson - Jun 1st 2026 2:25pm EDT

    Misandry. As several of you reminded me after reading Friday’s article about the left’s unflinching dislike for men, “misandry” is the correct term for reflexive anti-male hatred. Somehow, I had forgotten the word even existed. Like everyone else, I have heard “misogyny” and “misogynist” uncountable times, but no one bothers to call out misandry; it […]

  • Why does the left think mocking boys and men is okay?

    Alex Berenson - May 29th 2026 5:59pm EDT

    The Fatherhood Manifesto can’t get here soon enough. Today, the New York Times gave us a glimpse into what our liberal betters think of manhood, in a videotaped podcast called “America Has a Masculinity Crisis.” This discussion included three people: two women and a childless man (per his Instagram, he is a “Dog Dad”). In […]

  • Stop listening to your body

    Alex Berenson - May 27th 2026 1:41pm EDT

    This week, a young, healthy man named Steven Bartlett received 25 million views on X as he described the suffering he faced when he pushed his body to its limits. Bartlett, whose biceps suggest he spends a lot of time at the gym and whose X profile describes him as an “entrepreneur” (such a beautifully […]
