THE COURAGE TO FACE COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex by Peter A. McCullough MD, John Leake, John Leake

dark informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

If you only read one book about the Covid pandemic, let it be this one.

The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing The Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal by Joseph Mercola
Did not finish book. Stopped at 1%.

Oh boy. So I didn't make it past page 3. 

Although this book has an array of cited sources, non of them are peer reviewed and are all from popular media sources which is strange as they are decrying the media as in the pocket of big pharma.

That aside, their supposition that Covid 19 started in Wuhan from a lab is inaccurate as the historical tracing of incidences of this virus trace to earlier sources elsewhere, including tested waste material from Italy that shows it was there in October 2019 (Read Coivd 19: a History by Jacalyn Duffin), and even some testing showing it back on March 2019 in Spain though that needs to re reconfirmed.

Although I do believe in a pharmaceutical conspiracy to suppress and control cures and treatments overall for maximum profit on their part (why healthcare should never be for profit...) The one thing I agree with could not be easily parsed from the other things in the book that I've researched and found to be untrue.
