Wanda Keith ，

Thanks to Naomi Wolf I no longer feel that I was insane。 Wolf describes in great， well researched， detail what I have felt for the past two years in regard to COVID-19 and how the world leaders have been able to control us。 The things I read in this book did not shock me as I have felt so much of it to be the case during this time， but what surprised me is that someone finally had the balls to lay it out there with no fear of reprisal from the left。 Please， don't pass this book up。 Thanks to Naomi Wolf I no longer feel that I was insane。 Wolf describes in great， well researched， detail what I have felt for the past two years in regard to COVID-19 and how the world leaders have been able to control us。 The things I read in this book did not shock me as I have felt so much of it to be the case during this time， but what surprised me is that someone finally had the balls to lay it out there with no fear of reprisal from the left。 Please， don't pass this book up。 。。。more

This was informative and inspiring。 It reminds the reader of what we have gone through during the “pandemic” and that it is far from over。 Naomi Wolf makes a call for action that should be heeded by all。

This is a must read book。 Naomi speaks truth through out the book。 Our liberties were taken away and she expresses her personal as well as her professional concerns during the time of Covid。

If you're looking for the best books on this topic， this should be at the top of your list。 Naomi Wolf is a real writer and it shows。 She weaves a fascinating picture of the past two years by alternating investigative journalism/analysis with her personal experiences and perceptions。 It's a wake-up call for those who only get their news from the MSM， but it reads like a novel。I highly recommend this book。 If you're looking for the best books on this topic， this should be at the top of your list。 Naomi Wolf is a real writer and it shows。 She weaves a fascinating picture of the past two years by alternating investigative journalism/analysis with her personal experiences and perceptions。 It's a wake-up call for those who only get their news from the MSM， but it reads like a novel。I highly recommend this book。 。。。more

This is a must read！ Now！ It starts off pulling no strings about what our future is going to look like。 Then she uses her story to tell how we got to today and what we will be losing and sacrificing if we don’t wake up and take charge now。 It’s also time to realize that the world that we knew before March 2020 is gone and is never coming back。 Our country and companies have been captured willingly or forcibly by the WEF and the Chinese government and they are accelerating their world take over a This is a must read！ Now！ It starts off pulling no strings about what our future is going to look like。 Then she uses her story to tell how we got to today and what we will be losing and sacrificing if we don’t wake up and take charge now。 It’s also time to realize that the world that we knew before March 2020 is gone and is never coming back。 Our country and companies have been captured willingly or forcibly by the WEF and the Chinese government and they are accelerating their world take over agenda。 The human race has been severely injured by the faux pandemic， mandates and vaccines and our children have been compromised in inhuman ways。 This is an excellent book。 Full of information， an historical record of the worst crime ever committed on humanity and a portend of what we can and should expect。 Her website is dailyclout。io。 Loads of information， and opportunities to help in this war。 。。。more

This book is EXCELLENT。 She's a beautiful writer and someone who has mingled with the global elite。 Her perspective is fresh and wise， haunting and real， personal and accessible。 Wolf delivers each chapter with a snowballing sense of urgency。 When I closed the final page I was left to ponder my own response to the oppressive nature of the pandemic。 Bottom line: I didn't do enough for the cause of freedom。 This book is a must-read。 This book is EXCELLENT。 She's a beautiful writer and someone who has mingled with the global elite。 Her perspective is fresh and wise， haunting and real， personal and accessible。 Wolf delivers each chapter with a snowballing sense of urgency。 When I closed the final page I was left to ponder my own response to the oppressive nature of the pandemic。 Bottom line: I didn't do enough for the cause of freedom。 This book is a must-read。 。。。more

This may sound a tad pretentious: “The Bodies of Others” is wonderful non-fiction prose。 It make take 3， 4， or even a decade for this book to mature to gauge how crucial of a ‘document’ this book will be to history， given the way it handles the material。 Wolf approaches the pandemic from a sociological standpoint， underpinning what a face mask actually does， the meaning of words and phrases， how children react， etc。 The book is split between history unfolding and Wolf’s own story。 Since “The Bod This may sound a tad pretentious: “The Bodies of Others” is wonderful non-fiction prose。 It make take 3， 4， or even a decade for this book to mature to gauge how crucial of a ‘document’ this book will be to history， given the way it handles the material。 Wolf approaches the pandemic from a sociological standpoint， underpinning what a face mask actually does， the meaning of words and phrases， how children react， etc。 The book is split between history unfolding and Wolf’s own story。 Since “The Bodies of Others” takes a sociological approach， it’s retelling of the second half of 2021 has gravitas， building towards a horrific crescendo。 The poignant tension in late 2021/early 2022， when blood clots via spike proteans in the vaccines began wrecking havoc en masse pull the whole book together into a powerful read。 Although it incorporates a significant amount of science （whereas others do a deep dive into the data）， “The Bodies of Others” is enlightening without being cumbersome。 。。。more

This one will likely live on for decades， centuries as a poignant document of what transpired 2020-21 and an accurate prognostication of what lies ahead。 Well-written。 Insightful， incisive points made throughout。

Nice to see someone else who has assessed all of these Covid policies the way I have。 This is a must read; maybe others will wake up。

Sharon Michael ，

This is an important and disturbing book。 I highly recommend it as a wake up call for those who might still be unaware of the dangerous peril now faced by western civilization。

Some thought provoking opinions and information here。 Always helpful to question the dominant paradigm especially when there's a fair amount of hysteria involved i。e。 during health crises of monumental proportions。 Which is what Ms。 Wolf does here。 As Mark Twain so famously said: Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority， it is time to pause and reflect。 Some thought provoking opinions and information here。 Always helpful to question the dominant paradigm especially when there's a fair amount of hysteria involved i。e。 during health crises of monumental proportions。 Which is what Ms。 Wolf does here。 As Mark Twain so famously said: Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority， it is time to pause and reflect。 。。。more

Naomi Wolf and I couldn’t be more ideologically apart。 Well， until 'rule by executive government'， globalism and tech companies conspired with Big Pharma to steal freedom from people across the planet。 Wolf weaves it all together anecdotally and empirically to create an indisputable narration of the events that have gone on to rob the world of its liberty。 She eloquently covers the high social cost in a near fever pitch。 Rightfully so。 One interesting thing I did note is that Wolf herself suffer Naomi Wolf and I couldn’t be more ideologically apart。 Well， until 'rule by executive government'， globalism and tech companies conspired with Big Pharma to steal freedom from people across the planet。 Wolf weaves it all together anecdotally and empirically to create an indisputable narration of the events that have gone on to rob the world of its liberty。 She eloquently covers the high social cost in a near fever pitch。 Rightfully so。 One interesting thing I did note is that Wolf herself suffered far greater individual confrontation， gorilla tactics and attempted suppression than I ever did， informing me that her deep blue leftist friends and circles are indeed grossly more evil and mean-spirited than their political adversary’s on the other side。 Pair this with Robert Kennedy Jr’s book and you have the whole mess spelled out in all its evil。 。。。more

‘The Bodies of Others’ is a Five Star book based on its diligence alone。 The 354 End Notes that validate all key references through out the book is evidence that the ‘Dr。’ before Naomi Wolf is hard earned。 It is far from being a mere academic analysis however。 Dr。 Wolf employs a much admired， and much enjoyed， device as she slides in and out of her job as a stoic reporter and into the sympathetic citizen that many of us have experienced as well。 I have seen this used once before， by the great wr ‘The Bodies of Others’ is a Five Star book based on its diligence alone。 The 354 End Notes that validate all key references through out the book is evidence that the ‘Dr。’ before Naomi Wolf is hard earned。 It is far from being a mere academic analysis however。 Dr。 Wolf employs a much admired， and much enjoyed， device as she slides in and out of her job as a stoic reporter and into the sympathetic citizen that many of us have experienced as well。 I have seen this used once before， by the great writer Roger Kahn， in his glorious book ‘The Boys of Summer’， where he switches in and out of autobiography， as he tells his tale of the Brooklyn Dodgers。 In ‘The Bodies of Others’ this is more welcomed because the relentless crushing of America’s society is too painful to read as an antiseptic study。 Being able to share in the day to day social hurts of Dr。 Wolf and her Husband， and neighbors， allows us to sigh， and breathe， and remember similar moments that we all went through in those clumsy days of the early lockdowns。 To remember how naïve we were when the first warning shots were fired。 We share the experience of watching ‘Closed’ taped to the front door of our favorite small shops。 We probably all had Homer Simpson moments （Doh！） as we walked into a grocery and realized we left our mask in the car。 Little did we know that would become ‘the good ole days’！ In 2022， we can now look back with the weight of death that seems to grow by the day。 The undeniable fact that we have been lied to by our government。 The realization that ‘small businesses’ never come back。 The realization that the first casualty of lockdowns was the death of laughter。 Parents did not get to see happy faced children coming home from school。 Parents didn’t get to see their lovingly raised young adults stand on a graduation platform。 Nobody got to see Grandma and Grandpa。 Dr。 Wolf’s book reminds us that we aren’t really alone， even though we feel that way。 We have witnessed， lived through， the Medical Rape of our citizenry。 President Eisenhower warned as he left that office， ‘In the councils of government， we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence， whether sought or unsought， by the military-industrial complex。 The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist’。We see that now， but; their foundation is cracking。 Scientists and Reporters who have uncovered the truth are growing in numbers。 Dr。 Wolf’s work and relentless effort are turning the tide。 Dr。 Fauci and his minions are trying to mount another charge against the American people。 However， they aren’t charging into Gettysburg。 They are riding into The Little Big Horn。 。。。more

It is very rare that I give 5 star ratings but this one hit all the marks。 Informative， objective， emotional and exceptional I highly recommend everyone pick this book up and give it a read。 No matter your views on the pandemic Naomi did a fantastic job of providing real information and perspective。

Anyone who wants the truth about the Covid debacle， needs to read this excellent book。

Anyone that calls this a conspiracy theory obviously did not actually read the book。 At no point does Wolf question the existence of COVID nor the risks involved。 In fact， on page 176 she points out， “Risk is relative and all risk is personal…what I am saying is “The Science” presented by [MSM] failed to give Americans solid， honest data or an accurate explanation of real risk。” She admits COVID is real， but she asks the reader to question the data that was presented to us， how it was presented， Anyone that calls this a conspiracy theory obviously did not actually read the book。 At no point does Wolf question the existence of COVID nor the risks involved。 In fact， on page 176 she points out， “Risk is relative and all risk is personal…what I am saying is “The Science” presented by [MSM] failed to give Americans solid， honest data or an accurate explanation of real risk。” She admits COVID is real， but she asks the reader to question the data that was presented to us， how it was presented， how companies MAY have leveraged this to build massive profits， etc。 I also recommend anyone that looks into Wolf first to browse pages 210-211 in which she addresses the smear campaign against her。 You’ll find an article in MSM calling her crazy for her Tweets， along with said Tweets， however， she explains these were either taken out of context or were satire but reported by these people as serious。 Some were even deleted when she realized they weren’t phrased properly， yet somehow they managed to drag them up and publish them。 All-in-all this book should be ESSENTIAL reading， if simply to understand how fear can be leveraged to manipulate us into acting in ways we likely would not have before。 It’s July 2022 as I write this， and currently there’s an outbreak of Monkeypox。 The WHO has specifically stated there’s no cause for major concern as 99% of people that contract Monkeypox will be totally fine。 We’re not being asked to mask， distance， quarantine， or lock down because of this virus。 Yet COVID HAS THE EXACT SAME SURVIVAL RATE and we were led to believe it was this massively contagious and deadly virus we had to do anything to stop。 Granted it’s airborne and not spread through fluid like MP， but when the survival rate is the exact same， what are we doing？？？ As of today California has reinstated mask mandates， yet OSHA and the FDA do not consider masks to be PPE。 N95 masks only block 3 microns and bigger， yet COVID is smaller than this。 READ THE FDA WEBSITE ABOUT MASKS （surgical， N95， etc。） and it will tell you the same thing。 The FDA even mentions that masks can affect your breathing。 NONE OF THIS IS CONSPIRACY。 Wolf presents fact after fact that truly must be considered as we try to address how we feel about COVID and what additional freedoms we’re willing to give up to stop the spread。 We also must consider these facts in relation to anything else we’ll be asked to give up in the future。 Once you read this book and the world Wolf paints， you’ll ask yourself how we ever let it happen。 We have allowed madness to ensue and we must educate ourselves on it so we can avoid this in the future。 Stop calling facts conspiracy。 Stop calling people that question things conspiracy theorists。 Use your brain。 Question。 It doesn’t mean you have to accept everything she says or agree with where she takes it。 The point is to at least consider another narrative than the one paid for by big tech and big pharma。PS: Notice how everyone giving this 1， 2， or 3 stars either don’t leave a review or， if they do， you can’t comment on their review unless you’re their friend？ Don’t forget that bots and trolls exist in massive numbers in our society and are being used to drive divisiveness and push the MSM narrative。 。。。more

i Read It With Gratitude！My horror at what Dr。 Wolf describes was only tempered by her brilliant prose。 I had followed her in her quest to stand up to the totalitarian hurricane， joined dailyclout。io and listened to her on Stephen K。 Bannon’s Warroom。 It helped me maintain hope in darkness。 I thank her for all her effort， including “Bodies of Others。”

This is an important book and should be required reading at any journalism school if - in theory and in fact - the school is about teaching its students to dig for facts and not be smothered by mythology。The book is very well-written and the arguments are rock-solid， as they are grounded in reality not mythology。

Smart readThis is a groundbreaking and thought provoking book about how with one wave of a wand our freedoms and livelihoods were stolen from us by a health scare。 I am so grateful to see all the information compiled in one easy to read book。 Ms。 Wolf has done all of us， and future generations a great service。 But it is also scary to read of such dystopia and realize you are living in it！

Wake up For anyone paying attention most of this information isn't completely new -- especially if you follow Wolf to any extent on the alternative platforms。 However， I didn't expect this to cover so much ground and be so well documented。 She dives deep into this entire COVID mess at multiple levels: social， historical， scientific， religious， psychological， big tech， etc。。。 all while bringing it back to body autonomy， basic human rights， and （gasp！） critical thinking。 On top of her reporting an Wake up For anyone paying attention most of this information isn't completely new -- especially if you follow Wolf to any extent on the alternative platforms。 However， I didn't expect this to cover so much ground and be so well documented。 She dives deep into this entire COVID mess at multiple levels: social， historical， scientific， religious， psychological， big tech， etc。。。 all while bringing it back to body autonomy， basic human rights， and （gasp！） critical thinking。 On top of her reporting and interviews， she adds her own personal experiences which are highly relatable。 It was a surreal experience reading this while （actually right this very second！！！） the MSM is casually mentioning negative vax effects。 The same info that Wolf reported over a year ago and got her banned by Big Tech for 'disinformation。'（Spoiler Alert: They haven't seen anything yet。。。。。） 。。。more
