Virus: Vaccinations, the CDC, and the Hijacking of America's Response to the Pandemic: Updated and Revised

By Nina Burleigh

Book Overview

In this updated and revised edition, New York Times bestselling author Nina Burleigh weaves together the threads of our pandemic year to create an uncompromising and highly informed exposé that opens our eyes to what really happened to us and what it means for our future. Here is the extraordinary true story of the triumph of science in an era of unprecedented science dentalism and the business of pandemic profiteering that brought the US to its knees as more than a million Americans died from Covid-19-a number far higher than in any other nation. Here are interviews with researchers and vaccine creators, test subjects, and other key figures. And here too is the world of bizarre conspiracy theories that under-grid pandemic denialism and vaccine hesitancy, including their origins in real historical events. And finally, here is what Nina Burleigh calls "the eugenic pandemic": Covid-19's disproportionate killing of brown, Black, and poor people. It is up to readers to make their own assessments of the lessons learned and opportunities lost-and to gain the insight needed to make our world a place that is better than it was before and during the pandemic. Let Nina Burleigh be our mapmaker and guide, and let the gripping narrative of Virus be our catechism to a new understanding. Book jacket.
