  • What did Dr. Anthony Fauci know, and when did he know it?

    Alex Berenson - Jul 20th 2023 5:58pm EDT

    “Wuhan University.” That’s how Dr. Anthony Fauci referred to the Wuhan Institute of Virology on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020, a day after the virologist Kristian Andersen warned Fauci he suspected Sars-Cov-2 might not be entirely natural. (Just spitballing here, Tony!) Fauci made the error in an email to other federal officials he had no reason […]

  • You’ve heard many explanations for the cascade of Covid lockdowns in 2020. You’ve never heard this one. (And it’s fascinating.)

    Alex Berenson - Jul 18th 2023 5:03pm EDT

    China started the Covid lockdowns. But Italy spread them worldwide. On February 22, 2020, as the coronavirus receded in China, Italian authorities closed several towns, making Italy the first Western country to quarantine its citizens. Nine days later, Italy closed its schools. Then, on March 9, it announced a national lockdown, testing “what a democracy […]

  • Reader mailbag (for subscribers only!)

    Alex Berenson - Jul 17th 2023 6:14pm EDT

    Several recent Stacks have generated a lot of responses – especially NON-Covid/vaccine articles. Maybe you’re trying to tell me something. A paywalled subscriber-only bonus below: the most interesting comments on last week’s pieces about weather hysteria, the reasons to delay Donald Trump’s documents trial, and the dangers of allowing gambling everywhere, all the time. (Okay, […]

  • When the virologists lied, science died

    Alex Berenson - Jul 17th 2023 3:51pm EDT

    “Scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments.” The words – from Feb. 1, 2020, as Covid exploded worldwide – come from a note written by none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s Doctor himself. They come as Fauci and top virologists were just starting their strenuous efforts to hide […]

  • The story behind Unreported Truths, in two hours and seven minutes

    Alex Berenson - Jul 17th 2023 9:37am EDT

    Lots of good stories coming very soon, but meantime – I went from reporter to subject last week. On Friday, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Rav Arora interviewed me about my career and Covid (at length!) for their “Illusion of Consensus” podcast, which is out now. Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie also interviewed me last week for […]

  • On Las Vegas and America

    Alex Berenson - Jul 13th 2023 3:03pm EDT

    But it’s a dry civilizational collapse. Last week I flew to Las Vegas to play in “The Main” – the signature event of the World Series of Poker, where players put down $10,000 to seek a first prize that this year is $12.1 million. The tournament is still going, without me. I finished about 1600th […]

  • The Trump documents trial (and all Trump’s criminal trials) must be stopped until after the 2024 election

    Alex Berenson - Jul 11th 2023 1:44pm EDT

    It is clearer than ever Democrats cannot depend on the legal system to save them from Donald Trump. If they insist on trying, they may do terrible damage to the rule of law in the United States. Last night, Trump asked the federal judge overseeing his indictment in Florida for hanging onto classified documents to […]

  • On the media hype around bad weather

    Alex Berenson - Jul 10th 2023 3:36pm EDT

    I don’t want to write about climate change. Truly. I don’t know if the models are right or wrong, and I don’t want to spend my life finding out. But the way the media now reports on weather – not broad climate issues, but day-to-day weather – has bugged me for a while, and last […]

  • Thou shalt not (censor)

    Alex Berenson - Jul 5th 2023 2:04pm EDT

    Imagine if we learned Biden Administration officials had secretly jawboned the New York Times on trans issues. Or told baseball teams they should fly pride flags – or face antitrust hearings. Or complained to the History Channel over a documentary depicting the discovery of crude oil positively. The First Amendment concerns would be obvious. We’d […]

  • IT’S INDEPENDENCE (FROM CENSORSHIP) DAY

    Alex Berenson - Jul 4th 2023 8:56pm EDT

    Earlier today, federal Judge Terry Doughty of the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction barring the White House and several federal agencies from trying to get social media companies from censoring people or posts. If the post is “protected free speech,” the agencies CANNOT ask Twitter, Facebook, or anyone else to do anything […]

  • INSTANT CORRECTION: HUNTER BIDEN’S DAUGHTER IS NAMED NAVY, NOT LUNDEN (OR LUNDUN); LUNDEN IS NAVY’S MOTHER

    Alex Berenson - Jul 2nd 2023 3:18pm EDT

    Not much more to say than this. I don’t know what I was thinking.

  • On the despicable way Hunter Biden (and his father) are treating his daughter Lunden

    Alex Berenson - Jul 2nd 2023 3:06pm EDT

    Yesterday, the New York Times ran a piece on Lunden Roberts, the four-year-old whom Hunter Biden will not recognize as his daughter. The article was surprisingly sympathetic to Lunden, maybe because Hunter has behaved terribly to her almost since her conception. He took away her health insurance shortly after her birth, denied paternity until a […]

  • VERY URGENT: The fertility crisis in mRNA countries is deepening

    Alex Berenson - Jul 2nd 2023 7:17am EDT

    The global baby bust is worsening – and the problem is deepest in countries that relied most heavily on mRNA Covid shots. Most notably, several nations that had stable birth levels before the mRNAs were introduced in 2021 have seen sharp drops since. Sweden had about 115,000 births annually from 2012 to 2021. Last year, […]

  • The insanity of the media blackout on my win over Twitter

    Alex Berenson - Jun 29th 2023 10:45pm EDT

    An except from the Substack piece, from Rav Arora, a freelancer (he briefly explains his own story in it): Vaccines may be an untouchable third rail, but a journalist’s free speech suppressed by social media suppressed is certainly newsworthy. Or so I thought. In July of last year, I pitched a story on Alex’s return […]

  • WHISTLEBLOWERS NEEDED. Do you work in Big Pharma? Don’t like what you’re seeing? Help me expose it!

    Alex Berenson - Jun 29th 2023 9:56am EDT

    After yesterday’s piece about nirsevimab, the troubled new RSV treatment from AstraZeneca and Sanofi, this email came in: — I appreciated the attaboy. But the truth is, I’m not the whistleblower. You are. I have the megaphone, but a tip from a reader got me looking into nirsevimab. — Unreported Truths has a huge audience. […]

  • What’s the point of developing new drugs?

    Alex Berenson - Jun 28th 2023 7:47pm EDT

    Two years after Covid jabs turned into the world’s best-selling pharmaceutical product, Big Pharma is chasing billions from new products for another airborne illness: respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Two European drug companies, AstraZeneca and Sanofi, want the Food and Drug Administration to approve a costly new treatment called nirsevimab for RSV for kids under […]

  • URGENT: the cardiovascular death toll from mRNA Covid jabs is hugely underreported, peer-reviewed studies suggest

    Alex Berenson - Jun 27th 2023 8:41pm EDT

    How risky are the mRNA Covid shots from Pfizer and Moderna? The short answer is: vaccine fanatics don’t want to know. They attack anyone who questions even obvious post-jab deaths – the “#DiedSuddenly” cardiovascular deaths in healthy people under 50. But South Korean researchers just offered powerful evidence that the #DiedSuddenly phenomenon is real. The […]

  • Your own views on Unreported Truths – and what stories will matter most in the years to come

    Alex Berenson - Jun 23rd 2023 5:26pm EDT

    Yesterday I thanked you for making Unreported Truths the powerful and independent journalism voice it has become since 2021 – and asked you where you thought I should take it next. (I also asked you to sign up as a paying member, or resubscribe for another year if you already are one. I’m heartened by […]

  • The New York Times spits the bit on the lab-leak theory. Yes, again.

    Alex Berenson - Jun 22nd 2023 4:14pm EDT

    The New York Times embarrassed itself mightily on Covid yesterday. I know, day that ends in a Y. But this time was even worse than usual – and for worse than the usual reasons. Julian Barnes, who covers the intelligence community for the Times, failed to report actual news about the likelihood the coronavirus escaped […]

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

    Alex Berenson - Jun 22nd 2023 7:46am EDT

    Two years ago, Unreported Truths roared to life. Two factors drove its creation. First, by June 2021 I feared political pressure might force Twitter to censor me – as it did. But the second reason was more positive. I wanted to cover Covid and the mRNAs more intensely than 280-character Twitter bursts allowed. The Unreported […]

  • How bad is healthy vaccinee bias in observational data?

    Alex Berenson - Jun 21st 2023 1:52pm EDT

    The most important open secret in public health is three words: healthy vaccinee effect. Scientists have noticed the phenomenon with flu shots for decades. Adults who get vaccinated are generally healthier and have better medical care than the unjabbed. Also, doctors often withhold vaccines from terminally ill people. Even a 2011 study of flu shots […]

  • The mRNA fanatics are nervous

    Alex Berenson - Jun 19th 2023 4:14pm EDT

    Why won’t mRNA Covid vaccine advocates stand up for their jabs anymore? Two years ago, they talked endlessly about the shots, the miracle of modern science. They said the jabs might eliminate Covid in the United States. They said anyone who refused them was a fool, at best. They defended mandating them for anyone who […]

  • What if Hunter Biden is guilty?

    Alex Berenson - Jun 15th 2023 6:04pm EDT

    The Intercept is no one’s idea of conservative media. It specializes in hardcore investigative reporting, usually with a left-wing bent. Yet this morning, its top story was: What Does The FBI Have On Hunter and Joe Biden? Quite a lot, actually. — (IF THIS LINE OF REPORTING INTERESTS YOU, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO…) Subscribe […]

  • The truth about the lab leak is leaking out

    Alex Berenson - Jun 13th 2023 2:27pm EDT

    Chinese military scientists worked secretly alongside civilian researchers to make coronaviruses more dangerous at the Wuhan laboratory suspected as the source of Sars-Cov-2. And the civilian researcher helping lead that effort was along three scientists at the lab who became sick with a respiratory virus in late 2019, before anyone in the world had heard […]

  • It finally happened

    Alex Berenson - Jun 11th 2023 5:00pm EDT

    It was maybe the most humiliating moment of my Covid life. Summer 2021, the Twitter-ban era: a friend of one of our kids came to our house to play. When they realized I – not my wife – was supervising, the child’s parents told us they were uncomfortable and would retrieve their kid immediately. They […]
