URGENT: A federal database offers more evidence the mRNA Covid jabs may have serious cardiovascular risks
Alex Berenson - Jan 14th 2023 1:42pm ESTPfizer’s bivalent Covid booster raised the risk of stroke for people over 65, according to a federal database that the government considers the gold standard for tracking vaccine side effects. The Centers for Disease Control said Friday afternoon it had received 130 reports of ischemic stroke in people over 65 who had received the new […]
More evidence that American data may badly overstate the protection mRNA shots offer against hospitalization from Covid
Alex Berenson - Jan 13th 2023 12:08pm ESTAn internal database from a Chicago-area medical system offers new evidence hospitals are inflating how many unvaccinated people are hospitalized for Covid. Many patients listed as having “unknown” Covid vaccination status and grouped with the unvaccinated are actually Covid-jabbed, the database suggests. The system, which includes two medium-sized suburban hospitals west of Chicago, itself acknowledges […]

URGENT: 17 percent of teenagers had heart symptoms after their second Pfizer mRNA jab, a new peer-reviewed paper shows
Alex Berenson - Jan 11th 2023 12:46pm ESTResearchers in Taiwan have added to the increasingly negative picture of the impact the mRNA Covid vaccines have on the hearts of young men. The researchers conducted electrocardiograms (ECGs), which measure the heart rhythm, on 4,928 high schoolers in Taipei City, the capital of Taiwan, before and after their second Pfizer shot. Over 90 percent […]
From the Twitter Files: Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb secretly pressed Twitter to hide posts challenging his company’s massively profitable Covid jabs
Alex Berenson - Jan 9th 2023 2:04pm ESTOn August 27, 2021, Dr. Scott Gottlieb – a Pfizer director with over 550,000 Twitter followers – saw a tweet he didn’t like, a tweet that might hurt sales of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines. The tweet explained correctly that natural immunity after Covid infection was superior to vaccine protection. It called on the White House to […]
My first dive into the Twitter Files is coming soon
Alex Berenson - Jan 7th 2023 2:15pm ESTThis week I went to San Francisco for my first peek at the “Twitter Files,” the company’s records on the government and private pressures it has faced to censor free speech and debate. Since buying Twitter in late October, Elon Musk has opened the files to a handful of journalists. He invited me about 10 […]
On speculation, conspiracy theories, and the damage they do to those of us writing seriously about the mRNA jabs
Alex Berenson - Jan 5th 2023 6:20pm ESTAs you have probably heard by now, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has come awake. (He asked who had won the Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game in which he was injured. His physicians gave him the best possible answer: that he had won the game of life.) It goes without saying that this news is fantastic. But […]
Update on the Damar Hamlin piece
Alex Berenson - Jan 3rd 2023 3:24pm ESTA reader pointed me to this striking 2021 paper in the European Heart Journal reporting on two cases in which rugby players suffered severe heart rhythm disturbances following blunt chest trauma. In both cases the men had histories of myocarditis which appeared to have caused or worsened the arrhythmias. In the second case, the myocarditis […]
On Damar Hamlin, mRNA shots, and spin
Alex Berenson - Jan 3rd 2023 1:07pm ESTFor Covid vaccine supporters, Monday night marked a new low. Maybe you saw the play firsthand. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin tackled Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. The hit was violent, but nothing extraordinary, a routinely violent hit in a routinely violent game where players regularly break bones and knock each other out. Hamlin stood. […]
For those of you who would like a modestly more technical explanation of the IgG4 paper
Alex Berenson - Jan 2nd 2023 4:09pm ESTEugyppius is your man. This, from last week, goes into just the right amount of detail and is properly worrying, without being alarmist. I do want to disagree with Eugyppius on one point, though. He and some other people who I think are a couple of steps behind on sounding the mRNA alarm keep pointing […]
Something wicked this way comes (and by something, I mean mRNA immune system dysregulation)
Alex Berenson - Jan 2nd 2023 1:44pm ESTHope you enjoyed the last week of 2022… and now back to business. — Time for a story in Q+A format. Why? By now, you have probably heard about the Science Immunology paper showing that people who have received mRNA Covid vaccines produce more of an unusual antibody called IgG4 over time. A number of […]
VERY URGENT: Do Covid mRNA vaccines damage our ability to control the coronavirus after a booster shot?
Alex Berenson - Dec 27th 2022 11:46am ESTA new peer-reviewed paper has troubling news for anyone who has received multiple mRNA shots, suggesting the immune system paradoxically weakens a crucial part of its Covid response after the third jab. The immune shift causes the body to make relatively more of a less potent kind of antibody to Covid, displacing antibodies that attack […]
URGENT: Two new studies show mRNA-jabbed people have a much higher risk of getting Covid than unvaccinated people
Alex Berenson - Dec 20th 2022 6:39pm ESTPeople who have received mRNA Covid vaccines are at least twice as likely to be infected with the coronavirus as unvaccinated people, according to two new papers from researchers in Indiana and Ohio. Worse, the newer of the two studies, which covered Omicron this fall, found risk actually rises with the number of shots. People […]
A top Australian doctor and former Covid vaccine advocate warns of the risks of the shots
Alex Berenson - Dec 20th 2022 11:23am ESTDuring 2021, Professor Kerryn Phelps wanted mass Covid vaccinations for adults and kids. Now Phelps has reversed course. She is sounding an urgent alarm about the dangers of the mRNA shots. Yesterday, Phelps, a former president of the Australian Medical Association, pleaded for an Australian parliamentary committee to examine dangers of the mRNA vaccines. Their […]
UPDATE on the Grant Wahl story: One week after Wahl’s sudden death, disturbing new evidence that mRNA shots can cause aneurysms in healthy people
Alex Berenson - Dec 18th 2022 1:28pm ESTA healthy five-year-old boy suffered a severe coronary artery aneurysm less than two months after his first Pfizer Covid jab, physicians reported in a paper published Friday. The boy had previously had a mild Covid infection, but the physicians believed the mRNA shot might have been responsible for the aneurysm and advised his parents to […]
SPECIAL CORRECTION: In the previous email about I twice misspelled Dr. Celine Gounder’s last name as Grounder.

On the sudden death of Grant Wahl and the fury and hypocrisy of vaccine advocates
Alex Berenson - Dec 16th 2022 12:15pm ESTGrant Wahl died suddenly and tragically last week. That’s all anyone is supposed to say. Wahl was a prominent soccer journalist with over 850,000 Twitter followers and a growing Substack account. As you may have heard, he collapsed and died while covering a World Cup match in Qatar late on December 9. His death became […]
Great holiday shopping news – PANDEMIA, under $13
Alex Berenson - Dec 15th 2022 10:48am ESTAmazon now has the PANDEMIA hardcover for under $13 (after coupon). It is as relevant today as it was last year (if not more, sadly) – and the perfect gift for that cousin who has finally come out of her MSNBC-fueled Covid panic and wants to know the truth… Link is here!
The dumbest, most dishonest argument for Covid jabs yet
Alex Berenson - Dec 14th 2022 7:12pm ESTYesterday, the Commonwealth Fund released a paper purporting to prove Covid jabs had saved almost 3.3 million lives and prevented 18.6 million hospitalizations – in the United States alone. I didn’t plan to write about it. The figures are absurd on their face. The hospitalization number is particularly stupid, implying that almost 6 percent of […]
Great piece from Eugyppius on the pandemic-warning machine that accidentally – but inevitably – gave us a pandemic
Alex Berenson - Dec 13th 2022 12:34pm ESTI agree with basically all of it and would add two very minor points. I think D.A. Henderson was legitimately freaked out when the U.S. military told him that the Soviets had been making smallpox by the ton (!); smallpox isn’t much use as a weapon but as a doomsday device it’s dandy. And I […]
What will take for the media and public health bureaucrats to admit the mRNA vaccines have failed?
Alex Berenson - Dec 13th 2022 12:07pm ESTIt’s summer in Australia – but the country, where nearly every adult has been vaccinated, is now entering its fourth Covid wave. In Switzerland, excess deaths since February have been confined exclusively to people over 65, who are also the only ones who have received mRNA boosters. The story is similar in South Africa. And […]
Elon Musk crosses a line
Alex Berenson - Dec 12th 2022 12:56pm ESTElon Musk blocked me on Twitter this morning. If you had THAT on your 2022 bingo card, congratulations. The irony only gets thicker. Musk is mad because I called him out for attacking Yoel Roth – who as Twitter’s former head of trust and safety is probably at least partly responsible for my ban last […]
The Twitter files: leftist censorship revealed
Alex Berenson - Dec 9th 2022 2:20pm ESTFor years, Twitter’s executives promised they would not let their own political or ideological views interfere with Twitter’s corporate – and societal – commitment to free speech. They understood Twitter’s importance as a place to break and discuss news. They understood its value as a free megaphone available to all. They understood that it had […]
The good and the bad of Elon Musk’s first 40 days owning Twitter
Alex Berenson - Dec 8th 2022 10:53am ESTFor a glorious moment two weeks ago, Elon Musk seemed to remember why he had bought Twitter. On Nov. 23, Twitter said it would stop enforcing its Covid “misinformation” policies. Those rules had led it to ban thousands of users, including me in August 2021. (Among the tweets that led to my ban was one […]
Duke University surgeons are refusing a 14-year-old girl a kidney transplant because she has not received the Covid shot
Alex Berenson - Dec 7th 2022 11:30am ESTAt 14, Yulia Hicks has already had more than her share of bad luck. Brought from Ukraine to the United States in December 2018, she was given up by her first two adoptive families before Chrissy and Lee Hicks adopted her in 2021. She suffers from Senior Loken Syndrome, a genetic condition that is destroying […]
