  • What will take for the media and public health bureaucrats to admit the mRNA vaccines have failed?

    Alex Berenson - Dec 13th 2022 12:07pm EST

    It’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 EST

    Elon 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 EST

    For 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 EST

    For 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 EST

    At 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 […]

  • mRNA Covid booster campaigns have flamed out. Will lower excess mortality follow?

    Alex Berenson - Dec 5th 2022 3:20pm EST

    New evidence of a link between all-cause mortality and mRNA Covid vaccines is arriving – for an unexpectedly hopeful reason. After a short burst of booster shots earlier this fall, people in highly mRNA vaccinated countries are resoundingly rejecting more jabs. The $100-billion-plus experiment with novel Covid vaccines is finally grinding to a halt. Now […]

  • PART 2: An interview with Marc Cohodes, the investor who called the FTX/Sam Bankman-Fried collapse BEFORE it happened

    Alex Berenson - Dec 2nd 2022 11:57am EST

    (SECOND OF TWO PARTS) Is FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried a sociopath? Marc Cohodes thinks so. FTX is the cryptocurrency exchange that collapsed last month, costing investors billions. Bankman-Fried – sometimes called SBF – is the chubby 30-year-old who briefly had a fortune estimated at $26 billion and is now holed up in the Bahamas, where […]

  • An interview with Marc Cohodes, the investor who called the FTX/Sam Bankman-Fried collapse BEFORE it happened

    Alex Berenson - Dec 1st 2022 3:21pm EST

    (FIRST OF TWO PARTS) One reason last month’s collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX fascinates me is that cryptocurrencies are the financial world’s version of mRNA vaccines. Both were promoted as new, superior technologies, gifts of the Information Age. Both made fortunes for a few lucky people, who insisted they were merely serving humanity as […]

  • On Dr. Ryan Marino, Covid vaccines, and the rage of the tolerant left

    Alex Berenson - Nov 30th 2022 3:04pm EST

    Dr. Ryan Marino, an Ohio emergency medicine physician with almost 80,000 followers on Twitter, is angry. Angry that fentanyl is illegal. Angry at news outlets that report on the severe vomiting that heavy cannabis use can cause. Angry at anyone who hasn’t taken an mRNA Covid vaccine – or believes the shots can have side […]

  • Goodbye Sars-Cov-2

    Alex Berenson - Nov 23rd 2022 11:19am EST

    Some happy news this Thanksgiving: Three years after the first atypical pneumonia patients started showing up at hospitals in Wuhan, looks like we can officially put the novel coronavirus behind us. After crashing in the spring, Sars-Cov-2 deaths have remained a rounding error worldwide ever since, about 1 percent of total deaths. And they continue […]

  • A newly hired American Airlines regional jet pilot collapsed just after takeoff in Chicago on Saturday night

    Alex Berenson - Nov 22nd 2022 4:59pm EST

    At 7:59 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 19, Captain Patrick Ford collapsed at the controls of his American Eagle Embraer 175 – only seconds after the 76-seat jet had left the runway in Chicago. Ford was speaking to an air traffic controller at Chicago O’Hare, one of the world’s busiest airports, when his voice abruptly stopped, […]

  • Working on a couple important pieces

    Alex Berenson - Nov 22nd 2022 10:58am EST

    Meanwhile, here’s a very smart piece from Eugyppius about this Science article on why the promised “tripledemic” – Covid, flu, and RSV – is fantasy. The kicker: This is one of the primary reasons that we should think less about viruses. We find feces deeply revolting, and this is an evolutionary adaptation, because fecal matter […]

  • Have a question for pilots – especially AA pilots. You probably know why

    Alex Berenson - Nov 21st 2022 6:27pm EST

    Thanks much Alex

  • Coming soon: an interview with Marc Cohodes the guy who called the Sam Bankman-Fried/FTX scam before – and more loudly than – anyone else (and an old friend)

    Alex Berenson - Nov 21st 2022 2:06pm EST

    In the meantime, a fun multimedia homework assignment: spend three minutes and thirty-nine seconds watching this. Jargon aside, it will tell you what you need to know about cryptocurrencies – namely, that the whole game is just a digitized version of a scam that that’s been going on forever. Promise people off-the-charts returns to get […]

  • And bleah!

    Alex Berenson - Nov 19th 2022 6:19pm EST

    I blew the headline in the last post. I’d like to tell you the extra “for” was intentional to get you to double-clutch at the email, but no, I just made a mistake. Sloppy. Sorry. You can still buy PANDEMIA here, though!

  • Update: apparently $15.60 is the right price for the PANDEMIA hardcover

    Alex Berenson - Nov 19th 2022 6:16pm EST

    It’s selling like a government-mandated mRNA jab, currently #1 in the Viral Diseases subcategory (the competition there is fiercer than you might think)! If you are thinking about buying it – it makes a great Christmas gift, truly – now’s the time and this is the place! I have a good and specific reason to […]

  • The New York Times hits an all-time low

    Alex Berenson - Nov 18th 2022 8:40pm EST

    At 9:02 a.m. Friday morning The New York Times published a piece catchily titled: The End of Vaccines at ‘Warp Speed’ I expected the article would explain how scientists and regulators were rethinking ultra-accelerated vaccine development, since the mRNA shots have proven far less safe and effective than they first seemed. Silly me. The article […]

  • You can buy PANDEMIA now on Amazon for $15.60

    Alex Berenson - Nov 18th 2022 3:42pm EST

    That’s a serious deal for the hardcover – it’s never been cheaper. And PANDEMIA is the perfect Christmas gift for your cousin who is just starting to come out of her Covid stupor (wait, Anthony Fauci isn’t REALLY America’s Doctor?) Over 3,100 reviews, average rating a smooth five stars. Whatchu waiting for? That’s it, that’s […]

  • Citizen reporting beats legacy media on a crucial, complex story (yet again)

    Alex Berenson - Nov 17th 2022 4:07pm EST

    Elon Musk was proud of his $44 billion baby this morning. — Musk is right. Fourteen years ago, when Bernie Madoff’s massive hedge fund collapsed, the New York Times and other elite media aggressively dug into what had happened – and why and how regulators had failed to stop it. I know – I was […]

  • The incredible disappointment of Elon Musk’s first weeks owning Twitter (PART TWO)

    Alex Berenson - Nov 15th 2022 3:30pm EST

    What was Elon Musk thinking? I’m not asking rhetorically. $44 billion is a lot of money. Almost surely more money than any individual has ever spent on anything. Ever. For $44 billion, Musk could have built homes – nice homes – for 100,000 families. He could have created a dozen permanently free universities across Africa. […]

  • The incredible disappointment of Elon Musk’s first weeks owning Twitter (PART ONE)

    Alex Berenson - Nov 11th 2022 12:35pm EST

    Almost two years ago, I suggested to Elon Musk that he buy Twitter. We’d talked since May 2020, when we discussed setting up an independent news site to report about Covid and the lunacy of lockdowns. (During that crazy month, Musk repeatedly offered to wire me money for the site. I declined – I wasn’t […]

  • They really are this stupid (Australia edition)

    Alex Berenson - Nov 10th 2022 10:35am EST

    Australia – 96 percent adult Covid vaccinated, 72 percent adult boosted – now fears it is heading into its fourth Covid wave this year. Which can mean only one thing – get another mRNA shot! Can’t make it up. Here’s the latest advice from Professor Brett Sutton, the “chief health officer” of the state of […]

  • Brain inflammation and the mRNA vaccines

    Alex Berenson - Nov 9th 2022 12:54pm EST

    Three large insurance databases showed sharp increases in cases of severe brain inflammation after the Covid mRNA shots, according to a new peer-reviewed paper. People who received the Pfizer jab or booster had a 40 to 70 percent higher chance over the next six weeks of encephalitis or encephalomyelitis. The Moderna jab carried an even […]

  • About that red wave…

    Alex Berenson - Nov 9th 2022 6:42am EST

    Should have stuck with my prediction two weeks ago. I’ll admit it. I let my emotions take over. As someone who thinks the lockdowns and vaccine mandates were profoundly anti-American, I hoped to see the politicians who backed them punished. But they were not top-of-mind for most voters, and in the end the blue states […]

  • Democrats should be begging for a Republican rout

    Alex Berenson - Nov 8th 2022 4:08pm EST

    The Red Wedding appears to be in full swing. The signs are everywhere: In this New York Times snippet hinting at what early exit polls are showing – — In the lack of enthusiasm in Democratic precincts. Where I live, a bluish purple area of New York’s Hudson Valley, the lines to vote stretched almost […]
