Amazon has reversed a decision to censor a book on the truth about the coronavirus after being called out directly by Elon Musk.
Alex Berenson, a former New York Times journalist turned novelist turned non-fiction writer, recently tried to publish a book on the fake science of the coronavirus, titled “Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns Part 1: Introduction and Death Counts and Estimates.”
You can read the first 1,000 words of his book on his website here. Berenson has been a devout follower of the science as it develops with regards to this flu, and the book reflects that devotion. It contains no weird new age space cult conspiracies theories or whatever it is that Amazon is calling “disinformation.” The book simply covers many of the same facts we have covered, citing mainstream sources.
Of course, you can’t cite mainstream facts if they don’t agree with mainstream policy, so Amazon tried to ban it.
Today @amazon refused to publish my booklet about the coronavirus because it “did not comply” with their (undisclosed) guidelines. This is outrageous censorship from a company that has gained hugely from lockdowns – and dominates the US book market, especially with stores closed! pic.twitter.com/eQYI9CMhUX

I may just make it available for download and people can contribute if they like BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. Amazon is by far the largest channel for book sales worldwide. The people who need to see this the most will not. https://t.co/ozK4WVo7q4

Elon Musk, a defender of the truth about the coronavirus flu, who appeared on Joe Rogan in May to lay out all of the points listed on the Daily Stormer about this flu, stepped in and used his authority as a Silicon Valley billionaire to defend Berenson against Amazon censorship.
Time to break up Amazon. Monopolies are wrong!

After that Tweet, Amazon owner Jeff Bezos changed his tune, and the book went back up.
Looks official – @amazon BACKED DOWN! Of course I don’t know what anyone who doesn’t have @elonmusk and so many others pushing will do, but at least this time they backed down. pic.twitter.com/zCU4bJGUf6

The book is now live, and you should buy it (you should also follow his Twitter, if you’re not already, as it is one of the only places on the internet where you can get the truth about this global hoax).
IT'S LIVE! Again, thanks to @elonmusk and everyone who helped.https://t.co/UDdRlQ4wYL

In the book, Berenson plainly states the CDC’s estimate of a 0.26% case fatality rate, and cites other studies along those lines. He also makes the fair point that about 40% of people seem to never get infected, and concludes that this virus is similar to several influenza outbreaks of the last century which were not used as an excuse for a shutdown.
There was a time, not long ago, when this sort of arbitrary censorship attempt of the open discussion of present issues would have surprised and offended me. Now, it’s just to be expected.
Berenson has himself appeared on Joe Rogan in the past to discuss his book “Tell Your Children,” which documents the rise in marijuana-induced psychosis.
The day before Elon Musk went on Joe Rogan to discuss the flu, the Daily Stormer called for Berenson to appear alongside Musk on the Joe Rogan show to discuss this hoax. After this very public censorship fiasco involving these two men, I think it is now the time for Joe Rogan to have them both on, together, to discuss the hard facts that the media has been so diligently covering up.
Reach out to Rogan and request this. Let’s make it happen.
