Why Substack is so much more powerful than old media – in two emails
Alex Berenson - Oct 5th 2024 9:17pm EDT On Friday, Stanford University held a one-day conference about Covid and its aftermath called “Pandemic Policy: Planning the Future, Assessing the Past.” Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the Stanford epidemiologist who risked his career to fight lockdowns in 2020, put the event together. I was lucky enough to attend – and speak on a panel. The discussions […]
Children who received mRNA Covid shots died SIX TIMES as often as unjabbed kids in a very large database
Alex Berenson - Oct 2nd 2024 12:47pm EDT The study about Covid and asthma in American kids and teens has gone mostly unnoticed. It hasn’t been cited once since it was published in June. Which may be why no one has raised an alarm over the stunning figures buried in its appendix about deaths among mRNA Covid-vaccinated kids. They show that 354 of […]
VERY URGENT: Covid-19 mRNA vaccines increased the risk of asthma in children, a study of 200,000 kids shows
Alex Berenson - Oct 1st 2024 1:34pm EDT Children who received mRNA Covid shots were more likely to develop asthma in the next year than kids who didn’t take them, Taiwanese researchers have found after studying health records from over 200,000 American kids. The children were at higher risk whether or not they later suffered a Covid infection – striking evidence that the […]
URGENT: The left is going to war on the First Amendment
Alex Berenson - Sep 30th 2024 2:48pm EDT In the last 48 hours, two extraordinary videos have arrived on X. The first features John Kerry, the Democratic candidate for President in 2004. The second is of Bill Gates, the world’s fifth-richest man and, with George Soros, its top left-leaning charity funder. Kerry’s video runs a mere two minutes. Gates’s lasts barely 30 seconds. […]
Matt Taibbi speaks the truth
Alex Berenson - Sep 30th 2024 11:43am EDT I am hoping to get you several important stories over the next few days. In the meantime, please read the address that journalist and free speech advocate (until recently those two things were exactly the same, but no more) Matt Taibbi gave in Washington on Sunday afternoon. where he warned: Our government has moved past […]
What Unreported Truths means to me (and, I hope, to you too)
Alex Berenson - Sep 27th 2024 5:15pm EDT Last month, I offered a free signed copy of PANDEMIA (or any of my books) to the first 100 four-year Unreported Truths subscribers who asked. To my surprise, we hit the century mark within hours. I’ve now mailed out books to the first 100. I apologize to the hundreds of you who missed out. Sometimes […]
Your thoughts on free speech (and why college students don’t seem to care about it, much less fight for it)
Alex Berenson - Sep 26th 2024 9:56am EDTYesterday, I lamented limp student attendance at my free speech speech1 at the University of North Carolina in an article headlined Why don’t college students care about free speech? The question was meant rhetorically, it must have resonated. Many of you emailed with your thoughts – most serious, some less so. Some of the best […]
Why don’t college students care about free speech?
Alex Berenson - Sep 25th 2024 12:56pm EDT Last night, James Lawrence – my lawyer in Berenson v Biden – and I had the privilege of speaking at University of North Carolina about the threats to free speech. The event, at the student union, was well-publicized and -run. Our hosts, the university’s Student and Alumni Free Speech Alliances, even offered free pizza. The […]
We deserve better elites*
Alex Berenson - Sep 23rd 2024 7:04pm EDT Again, we’ve had a look at the hidden rot among our self-styled betters. Again, it’s hard to escape the feeling they’re out for themselves and themselves alone. Two separate, unrelated scandals involving government officials and journalists blew up late last week, both revealing astounding hypocrisy. In New York City, Dr. Jay Varma, a top epidemiologist, […]
On the enraging – and evil – hypocrisy of public health authoritarians
Alex Berenson - Sep 20th 2024 3:30pm EDT Warning: this video of a top epidemiologist bragging about hosting sex parties during Covid and forcing mRNA jabs on adults captures everything wrong with public health in 17 minutes. Prepare to be enraged. Yesterday, the Canadian comedian Steven Crowder1 released video clips of Dr. Jay K. Varma talking about his group sex exploits during 2020 […]
1URGENT: A stunning new paper suggests Covid jabs sharply raise the risk of death or heart failure after heart attacks
Alex Berenson - Sep 19th 2024 3:51pm EDT Being vaccinated against Covid sharply increased the risk heart attack patients would die or suffer heart failure after heart attacks, a new Spanish study shows. Over a six-month period after their heart attacks, Covid vaccinated patients had nearly double the risk of unjabbed ones. The risk appeared concentrated in patients who were both vaccinated and […]
Does Kamala Harris want to decriminalize fentanyl and other drugs – and release people convicted of possessing them?
Alex Berenson - Sep 13th 2024 3:10pm EDT The question to Kamala Harris at a 2019 Texas conference couldn’t have been clearer: “Would you broadly use your pardon power as president to release federal prisoners who are in prison merely for drug possession and drug-related crimes?” [emphasis added] Harris, four months into her failed 2020 presidential run, responded just as clearly: “Absolutely, and […]
On the rise – and risks – of machine gambling (Part 2 of 2)
Alex Berenson - Sep 12th 2024 4:39pm EDT (Second of two parts. For Part 1, about the radical changes in the last generation that have made slot and poker machines so much more addictive, click here.) No one has written a compelling memoir of video gambling addiction. No great novel or movie has described it: no Trainspotting or Requiem for a Dream or […]
On the rise – and risks – of machine gambling (Part 1 of 2)
Alex Berenson - Sep 12th 2024 9:32am EDT FIRST OF TWO PARTS Addiction comes in many flavors. But some grab our attention more than others. Drug (and alcohol) addicts tend to be young, noisy, and male. They’re frequently dangerous. So society spends a huge amount of time dealing with and thinking about them. Almost as much time as they spend thinking and talking […]
On the cowardice of Kamala Harris
Alex Berenson - Sep 10th 2024 2:11pm EDTWhy won’t Kamala Harris tell voters her positions on basic political issues? Yesterday, CNN reported Harris had promised the American Civil Liberties Union she would support government-funded sex-change surgeries for illegal immigrants1. She made that pledge in 2019. Does it hold now that she’s the Democratic nominee for president? She won’t say. When CNN asked, […]
Donald Trump comes out swinging for free speech…
Alex Berenson - Sep 9th 2024 1:11pm EDT Reporters spend a lot of time warning Donald Trump is a threat to the Constitution and civil liberties. They spend less time – okay, let’s be honest, no time – covering him when he promises to protect the First Amendment. As he did at a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, when he said he would […]
C’mon, Tucker!
Alex Berenson - Sep 6th 2024 11:23am EDT Oh, I hate having to write this one. I like Tucker Carlson. As I’ve said before, during Covid, “we had a certain ride or die relationship.” He stood by me even after the rest of Fox News panicked over my mRNA skepticism. (Haven’t seen me on there much since he left, have you?) And just […]
Why my amended complaint in Berenson v Biden matters so much
Alex Berenson - Sep 4th 2024 4:23pm EDT Today, James Lawrence and I filed an amended complaint in Berenson v Biden, my federal lawsuit against top White House and Pfizer officials for their conspiracy to make Twitter ban me in 2021. Some of you have told me you want me to write about issues other than my own suit. I get it. I […]
URGENT: PART 2 OF THE PFIZER/WHITE HOUSE FILES IS LIVE
Alex Berenson - Sep 3rd 2024 4:40pm EDT If you’ve wondered where I’ve been, now you know. I’ll have much more about what this new evidence means for Berenson v Biden very soon (spoiler alert, it’s EXCELLENT for our case). But for now, thank Elon Musk for opening the Twitter archives – and read the whole story on X: — (And please support […]
Quick update: sorry I haven’t written more lately, I’ve been working on Berenson v Biden (thanks Elon Musk and X!)
Alex Berenson - Aug 23rd 2024 3:44pm EDT Sorry for the slow publication pace the last couple of weeks. I’ve been busy helping James Lawrence, my lawyer, work on an amended complaint for Berenson v Biden, my lawsuit against White House and Pfizer officials for their 2021 conspiracy to make Twitter censor and ban me. For months, at Elon Musk’s direction, X has […]
Is it a free offer? Or a subscriber appeal?
Alex Berenson - Aug 20th 2024 5:56pm EDTAmazing but true: Unreported Truths is entering its fourth year as one of the world’s most popular Substacks. Which means – work with me here – some of you are entering your fourth year as annual paid subscribers. When UT started, I offered a free signed copy of PANDEMIA to anyone who signed up as […]
Two doctors weigh in on Matthew Perry’s death, the American addiction crisis, and the role physicians and Big Pharma play
Alex Berenson - Aug 20th 2024 11:55am EDTI’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: one great pleasure of writing Unreported Truths is hearing from you. The media pretends you are a bunch of wannabe Nazis (who I guess didn’t notice I’m Jewish). In fact, you are pilots and soldiers, lawyers and doctors, nurses and engineers. You had a lot to say […]
Requiem for a Friend
Alex Berenson - Aug 19th 2024 8:04pm EDT There’s no addict like a medically enabled addict. And no dealer is more dangerous than one wearing a white coat. Last week, federal prosecutors in California charged five people, including two physicians, in the 2023 ketamine overdose death of actor Matthew Perry. When he died, Perry was hopelessly addicted to ketamine, a dangerous short-acting anesthetic […]
On Gov. Tim Walz, Covid lockdown fanatic
Alex Berenson - Aug 15th 2024 12:14pm EDT Everything is connected. Especially Covid authoritarians. Before he conspired to violate my civil rights and make Twitter ban my journalism in 2021, Democratic healthcare operative Andrew M. Slavitt was a top Covid advisor to Minnesota governor Tim Walz. With Slavitt’s encouragement, Walz pushed a tight lockdown on his state. He encouraged residents to snitch on […]
The Biden Administration commits an act of insanely petty retaliation against me
Alex Berenson - Aug 14th 2024 2:06pm EDT (Working on a piece about Tim Walz and Andy Slavitt… but then this happened.) Looks like my name really is on the Biden Administration’s naughty list. Silly me, I thought our kids would enjoy seeing the White House. When I was eight or so, my parents took me on a tour. I was a nerdy […]
