From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower: an unprecedented, momentous account of COVID-19 - its origins, its wide-ranging repercussions, and the ongoing global fight to contain it
From the fateful first moments of the outbreak in China to the storming of the US Capitol to the extraordinary vaccine rollout, Lawrence Wright’s The Plague Year tells the story of COVID-19 in authoritative, galvanizing detail and with the full drama of events on both a global and intimate scale, illuminating the medical, economic, political, and social ramifications of the pandemic.
Wright takes us inside the CDC, where a first round of faulty test kits lost America precious time…inside the halls of the White House, where Deputy National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger’s early alarm about the virus was met with confounding and drastically costly skepticism…into a COVID ward in a Charlottesville hospital, with an idealistic young woman doctor from the town of Little Africa, South Carolina…into the precincts of prediction specialists at Goldman Sachs…into Broadway’s darkened theaters and Austin’s struggling music venues…inside the human body, diving deep into the science of how the virus and vaccines function - with an eye-opening detour into the history of vaccination and of the modern anti-vaccination movement. And in this full accounting, Wright makes clear that the medical professionals around the country who’ve risked their lives to fight the virus reveal and embody an America in all its vulnerability, courage, and potential.
In turns steely-eyed, sympathetic, infuriated, unexpectedly comical, and always precise, Lawrence Wright is a formidable guide, slicing through the dense fog of misinformation to give us a 360-degree portrait of the catastrophe we thought we knew as we lived through it.

It was made in a lab in China that was at least in part funded by Fauci’s group. It leaked and China lied about it. Then the world lost their collective minds over a virus with a 99.97% survival rate. Jan 6th was an unscheduled tour that got a bit out of hand. The end.

“…that was at least in part funded by Fauci’s group.”
…I think, from your little screed there, we know which part of the world has lost their minds.

Since the beginning I’ve thought, government should do nothing. Let it rip. I think in the next few years it will be seen that the government response destroyed the world.

Lol. Leftist comments age so badly, you see when they lie and lie and lie and lie and lie to protect Fraudci, when his e-mails leak… it’s all a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?
He did, indeed, pay for the Wuhan Coronavirus Lab’s gain of function research.
So, we do, indeed, know who lost their minds and it’s not those of us mired in reality.
