Deception:
The Great COVID Cover-Up

By Rand Paul
Published: October 10, 2023
544 pages

I’ve probably read (or scanned) two dozen books on COVID in the past four years. This was one of them.

I read it because I was always impressed by how early and how tenaciously Rand Paul took on the mainstream narrative on COVID. I was also impressed, and at times uncomfortable, by how early he decided that Anthony Fauci was an immoral fraud responsible for so much of the death, destruction, and loss that came from the COVID protocols and mandates.

Critical Reception 

* “Senator Paul’s new book is another act of leadership pointing out how the government mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a must-read for all Americans.” – Washington Times

* “Senator Rand Paul is taking his challenges of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the government’s handling of the COVID pandemic and putting it in print.” – West Kentucky Star

* “Sen. Rand Paul’s book, Deception: The Great COVID Cover-Up, reads like a mash-up of the true-crime and spy thriller genres.” – The Federalist

* “Sen. Rand Paul’s new book Deception is exactly what you thought it would be: a thorough takedown of Dr. Anthony Fauci and his disciples.” – Washington Examiner

“Never in my life have I seen an unholy trinity of censorship like I’ve seen with the power of government, big tech, and the mainstream media all pulling in the same direction when it came to enforcing their own narrative of COVID.” – Clay Travis

From SC re Part One of my monograph on COVID in the April 11  issue: 

“You do your otherwise good work in your report on COVID damage by suggesting that the government (Dr. Fauci in particular) was purposefully making false public statements about it rather than reporting on the best available scientific evidence at the time. There’s no proof of that.”

My Response: There is a hill of evidence that’s quickly growing to the size of a mountain. I know it’s not easy to find it if you are looking on Google. Since COVID became controversial in the mid 2020s, I’ve seen a strong pro-government bias in its ranking systems. And let’s not forget that Mark Zuckerberg, in his Congressional testimony, admitted to allowing the Biden Administration influence Google’s “fact checking” in favor of the official narrative.)

In addition to Part Two in today’s issue, I’m going to be publishing more of my monograph on COVID in the coming weeks. Please read all of it, as I’m including dates, times, and figures that I hope will persuade you to take a more critical view of what happened.

I’m convinced that the response to COVID (the response of the governments of the majority of developed countries) was the greatest abridgment of political, legal, and social freedom in my lifetime. And the egregious wrongs that were done to billions of people all over the world were done with the passive cooperation of most of the populations affected – mostly with their naïve and stubbornly ignorant consent.

I know you will reject that accusation out of hand. But just think: What if it is true?
