Publisher's summary

In the final days of 2019, a new and deadly virus was quietly spreading through the city of Wuhan, China. Within six months it would kill half a million people worldwide, infect a further 10 million, and change the way all of us live, work, and play forever.

Now, for the first time, the real story of the greatest global crisis of the age can be told.

Reporters Dylan Howard and Dominic Utton, collaborating from New York and London - infection hotspots in what would become two of the worst-hit nations on Earth - have together mapped the rise, spread, and impact of the virus...and uncovered some explosive revelations.

COVID-19: The Greatest Cover-up in History - from Wuhan to the White House delivers the unfettered truth about what is undoubtedly the biggest political scandal of our time. It shows in unprecedented detail how governments in China, the UK, and the US not only failed to protect their citizens from the threat of the disease but actively conspired to put their own political and economic ideologies above the lives of ordinary people.

From early attempts by Beijing to silence any reports of the new virus to the inability of the WHO to act decisively; from warnings received and ignored by President Trump to decisions taken by the UK government that directly led to the loss of tens of thousands of lives; from whispers of military experiments to outlandish 5G conspiracy theories, Howard and Utton separate fact from fiction, science from hysteria, and expose a trail of dead bodies, willful mismanagement, incompetence, arrogance, deliberate cover-ups, and outrageous lies that raise serious questions about who is really responsible for the hundreds of thousands killed by COVID-19.

Through vigorous investigations, dedicated reporting, and exclusive first-person sourcing, COVID-19 unearths a more complex understanding of the rise, spread, and consequences of the first six months of the pandemic than has yet been seen and exposes shocking revelations about the roles and motivations of the American and British governments in the crisis.

The true story of COVID-19 is not just that of a silent killer that suddenly invaded the world...it’s the scandal of a global tragedy that could have - and should have - been prevented.

I find it a very one-sided and biased journalism.

This book gives an overall impression of a commission-based manifesto, rather than honest approach to investigate and present various aspects of this complicated pandemic. I find the (mis)use of statistics especially appalling. Authors quote absolute numbers in some cases, and per capita in others - depending on which narrative suites their line of argumentation. Many facts and characters are completely omitted, and emotional attacks on other events and figures are comically emphasized by the narrator.

meh

meh it was informative but the author here seems to be more on the anti trump side.

More political than scientific

The more I listened to this book, the more I disliked it's content. I endured to the end, but was happy when it was over. I can understand that at the time of this writing, we still knew very little about C19. However, throwing all of the politicians under the bus because of decisions made, was only indicative of how little we knew about COVID. I suppose it would have also made for a very short book!

We know today that the tests being used, indicated that many had COVID, when in fact they had colds, sinuses, the flu, or other flu-like symptoms. Many deaths attributed to COVID-19 were in fact due to co-morbitities, or a completely unrelated cause, but because they were tested, and positive with COVID, were listed as COVID deaths. We may never know the true origin of the disease, but the fact that the government was allowed to take away some of our liberties by using lockdowns, will have a future effect on the world and it's citizen's.

I hope the authors of this book write a sequal. Hopefully it will be written without political motives and will be a truthful representation of the facts.

Can I get a Refund!

The authors are so anti Trump!
Some good info, but I think they are being paid for by the Democrats!

Not what I thought it was going to be.

This book isn't neutral, seemed like it just bashed one side and didn't actually tell us anything we didn't already know.

One sided

What a waste of my time!! Not at all scientific or factual. Author hopefully can redeem themselves by writing a sequel considering the truth that has been revealed.
