A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

Not pointing at anyone specifically, but some FBI docs being released are basically tip reports -- people contacting the FBI with information. Not fake documents, but, the info in them could be 100% false, including from cranks or people hoping to hurt Trump back in term 1.
