The COVID-19 pandemic has been the most globally traumatic event since World War II. The impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on health and welfare were significant, but not as devastating as the societal upheaval created by the counter-responses taken by governments and NGOs.

COVID-19 Pandemonium is the companion follow-up book to Down the COVID-19 Rabbit Hole: Independent Scientists and Physicians Unmask the Pandemic, which focused on the “science” of virus, the disease, prevention and treatment. This latter volume documented the ineffectiveness of masking, issues with the production, efficacy and safety of COVID-19 genetic vaccines, and provided an assessment of the available treatments.

COVID-19 Pandemonium serves as an after-action report five years on that investigates the origin of COVID-19 and resulting fractures in social structure and function as a consequence of the failure of our institutions to properly come to grips with the actual threat of the disease. With over 800 citations and the efforts of over 20 authors, this book chronicles the debacle of governments, health regulatory agencies, the courts, our higher education institutes, and the media to effectively deal with the pandemic, whilst supporting clear violations of human rights and freedoms, quashing debate and encouraging strict censorship in a fight against “misinformation.”

The authors argue that the lasting impacts of divisive COVID-19 policies and responses will widen the fractures in our society and further erode public trust in governments and institutions unless we learn from the lessons that the COVID-19 pandemic provided.
