How Ron DeSantis can win
Alex Berenson - May 30th 2023 1:01pm EDTFIRST OF TWO PARTS Two years ago, Ron DeSantis was as much of a hero to me as any politician had ever been. Other leaders had bent the knee to the health authoritarians who pretended Covid was the plague. Not DeSantis. He locked down late, then reopened almost immediately. He fought teachers unions and county […]
A Supreme Court justice speaks out against Covid lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and censorship – and enrages the left
Alex Berenson - May 24th 2023 1:52pm EDTSupreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch just proved the simmering battles over Covid and civil liberties are nowhere near done. School closings, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and censorship efforts have ended. But public health authoritarians and politicians who imposed them are in no hurry to give up the powers they seized. They will attack anyone who speaks […]
Some good news! (Really)
Alex Berenson - May 23rd 2023 1:57pm EDTFinally, a happy ending. In December, I wrote about Yulia Hicks, a 14-year-old North Carolina girl denied a lifesaving kidney transplant for the crime of being unvaccinated. Transplant surgeons at Duke University Hospital told her parents that Yulia could not stay on the transplant list if she did not have a Covid shot, even though […]
From a reader whose wife suffered severe post-mRNA vaginal bleeding
Alex Berenson - May 22nd 2023 4:25pm EDTSometimes a personal story captures the truth more accurately than all the data in the world. (Posted unedited, with a couple of comments in brackets) Alex, I am a proud owner of Pandemia and a paid subscriber to your stack. I have to admit occasionally I’ve left the stacks unread in the inbox because I’ve […]
URGENT: Huge new study shows mRNA Covid jabs sharply raise the risk of severe vaginal bleeds
Alex Berenson - May 22nd 2023 1:12pm EDTWomen 45 and over had a high risk of severe vaginal bleeding after receiving mRNA Covid shots, Swedish researchers found after studying almost 3 million women. The increased risk lasted for at least three months after women received a shot and was even higher after the third shot than the first two. That finding suggests […]
The Covid hysterics will not quit
Alex Berenson - May 19th 2023 3:18pm EDTDr. Craig Spencer has been a Covid shrieker from the beginning. Before Covid, Spencer was best-known for wandering around New York City while sick with Ebola, a virus that kills half the people it infects. But Spencer’s laissez-faire attitude toward infectious disease deserted him when Sars-Cov-2 arrived in New York. At the time, Spencer was […]
Social media censorship update: the Supreme Court keeps its Section 230 powder dry
Alex Berenson - May 18th 2023 5:49pm EDTOn Thursday, the Supreme Court unanimously found that social media companies cannot be held liable for hosting content from terrorist groups like the Islamic State. But the biggest legal question facing social media companies, and the hundreds of millions of Americans who use them, remained unanswered. The Court made no judgment on the federal law […]
Breathe deep
Alex Berenson - May 16th 2023 5:46pm EDTAggressive use of ventilators may have killed some Covid patients, a new paper from Northwestern University researchers suggests. Covid itself has a “relatively low mortality rate” compared to other respiratory illnesses, the researchers found after examining about 600 patients with severe pneumonia. Yet Covid patients remained intubated longer than other patients and developed secondary bacterial […]
The worst four minutes you’ll have today
Alex Berenson - May 14th 2023 3:26pm EDTIt’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. On Twitter, this is called a “supercut,” a quick compilation of short takes from several different videos. It runs just under four minutes and has received 42 million views so far. It deserves more. Make yourself watch it, painful as it is. — […]
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya speaks out…
Alex Berenson - May 13th 2023 4:11pm EDTThis just in: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has a new Substack podcast on the flaws of Covid/scientific journalism. For three years, Jay has been one of the academic and intellectual leaders of Team Reality, and he’s a good and honest guy to boot… well worth a listen. The Illusion of Consensus Coming Soon… The Illusion of […]
A quick update on Berenson v Biden
Alex Berenson - May 12th 2023 1:42pm EDTWe filed Berenson v Biden exactly one month ago today. Since then… not much has happened. And not much may for a while. Why? Berenson v Twitter makes for an instructive contrast. — (COMPARE AND CONTRAST. ALSO, SUBSCRIBE.) Subscribe now — Following my August 2021 ban, I sued Twitter on Dec. 20, 2021 in federal […]
Unreported Truths isn’t going anywhere (for now!)
Alex Berenson - May 11th 2023 11:50am EDTAnd on further review… the move has been overturned. Unreported Truths is staying on Substack. I gave moving to Rumble and Locals a lot of thought. It was the right decision financially. It would have meant a pay raise and even more importantly a multi-year guarantee, saving me from having to worry about churn (having […]
On the Opium Wars, then and now
Alex Berenson - May 10th 2023 3:11pm EDTHola, amigos! I know I haven’t rapped at ya (as the literally legendary Jim Anchower used to write) in a few days – I’ve been busy working on a couple of pieces that are taking a bit longer to come together. In the meantime, I thought I’d offer two Twitter threads about drugs and drug […]
Tell Your Children
Alex Berenson - May 5th 2023 3:02pm EDTCannabis now causes up to 1 in 4 cases of newly diagnosed schizophrenia in young men, Danish researchers have found. Based on their analysis, cannabis is now by far the highest non-genetic risk factor for schizophrenia, a devastating mental illness. Schizophrenia’s best-known symptoms are paranoia and hallucinations, but the illness also damages motivation and even […]
Quick poll: Would you be interested in a book of the best Unreported Truth Stacks (with annotations and an introduction about where we stand three years in?)
Alex Berenson - May 3rd 2023 4:03pm EDTMany of you have asked me when I am going to write a sequel to PANDEMIA, focused on everything that has happened since – the failure of the vaccines, rising excess deaths, and on a more personal note my free speech battles. I want to, but as a practical matter I cannot spend six months […]
On targeting a university president for the thoughtcrime of questioning how well mRNA shots work
Alex Berenson - May 3rd 2023 12:12pm EDTBefore a reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer decided to ruin his life, Dr. Mark Tykocinski wasn’t exactly controversial. Tykocinski, 70, has spent his life in academic medicine as a pathologist and cancer researcher. Last year, Philadelphia’s 8,400-student Thomas Jefferson University named him its president, capping his career – which included a short stint with Dr. […]
VERY URGENT: The president of a big research university may be about to lose his job. His crime: liking my tweets.
Alex Berenson - May 1st 2023 8:22pm EDTIf you are in Twitter, PLEASE retweet this and raise the alarm. How can we expect any honest discussion of the mRNAs if raising questions about them is a fireable offense? https://twitter.com/alexberenson/status/1653185035678121985?s=46&t=9deTko0EGjdfqV27bVxy2w (JOIN THE FIGHT FOR FREE SPEECH:) Subscribe now
On friendship with self-righteous cowards
Alex Berenson - May 1st 2023 12:09pm EDTWe all lost friends. Most of us lost relatives too. Not to Covid, of course. With some sad exceptions, almost no one lost anyone who wasn’t already over 75 or extremely overweight or ill to Covid. We lost friends to the government and media-fed lockdown panic, and then to the rancor over the mRNAs. — […]
Berenson v Twitter, one year later (and Berenson v Biden, now)
Alex Berenson - Apr 29th 2023 2:48pm EDTOne year ago today, James Lawrence and I won an unprecedented victory over Big Tech. At least 62 times, users had sued social media and technology companies over bans and censorship. They’d sued Facebook for pulling down huge groups. They’d sued YouTube for blocking ads and bans. Of course they’d sued Twitter. They’d sued and […]
How can Moderna’s RSV jab be approvable?
Alex Berenson - Apr 29th 2023 10:36am EDTAs demand for its mRNA Covid shot craters, Moderna is chasing approval for a new mRNA jab with similarly severe side effects – but against a virus even milder than Covid. Winning approval for the jab, which reduces cases of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is critical for Moderna’s future. The company has told investors […]
Look, another paper showing bivalent mRNA boosters are basically a marketing gimmick!
Alex Berenson - Apr 27th 2023 6:38pm EDTAdded bonus, this one is from a study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. You know, the good people who helped bring you the mRNAs. Yes, volunteers given bivalent strains against Omicron BA.1 had a stronger response to the original “wild-type” Covid strain, than BA.1. Volunteers given a bivalent against BA.4/BA.5. had a stronger […]
Exploding the myth that Covid jabs protect against death in two charts
Alex Berenson - Apr 27th 2023 3:30pm EDT(This one’s a bit technical, but unfortunately explaining how mRNA advocates use sleight of hand requires some time in the weeds. I’ve tried to keep it as straightforward as I can.) For two years, mRNA jab advocates have used “age-adjusted rate ratios” to claim unvaccinated people have higher Covid hospitalization and death rates than the […]
Should I move Unreported Truths from Substack to Locals/Rumble?
Alex Berenson - Apr 25th 2023 3:09pm EDTAmazing but true, this Substack didn’t even exist two years ago. I created Unreported Truths on Substack in May 2021 as a way to publish longer-form articles about Covid and the mRNA jabs than Twitter allowed. But as the shots failed and Twitter censored me in the summer of 2021, the Unreported Truths audience exploded. […]
What’s next for Tucker Carlson
Alex Berenson - Apr 24th 2023 2:41pm EDTI wouldn’t exactly call Tucker Carlson a friend. As you have probably already heard, this morning Tucker abruptly left his position as the most powerful anchor at Fox News, or anywhere on television. I’ve never had a beer or a coffee off-set with Tucker. We have very similar views on some issues, like the dangers […]
Germany has turned against the Covid jabs
Alex Berenson - Apr 23rd 2023 4:59pm EDTThis morning, Eugyppius published a fascinating Stack on the way how German media outlets are now serving a heavy diet of mRNA jab injuries to their readers. As he notes, this new skepticism appears mostly confined to Deutschland – at least for now. What’s particularly interesting about this turn is that Germany is home to […]
