THE INFODEMIC by Gabriele Cosentino
https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/infodemic-9780755640737/
What caused the Covid-19 pandemic, a natural spillover event or an accident in a Wuhan laboratory? Were the mitigation measures imposed by many governments – such as lockdowns and mask-wearing mandates – based on scientific evidence, or rather aimed at curtailing civil liberties and disrupting economic activities, under the secret maneuvering of a global cabal of politicians and financiers? And were Covid-19 vaccines effective in curbing the spread of the disease, or were they just a profitable scheme by big pharmaceutical companies?
These questions and speculations, some legitimate, some dubious, have been swirling around the globe through social media, alternative information outlets, instant messaging apps, and mainstream media since the beginning of the pandemic, feeding the ‘infodemic’ – an overwhelming surge of information, misinformation, rumours and conspiracy theories which continue to linger in public and private discourse.
With an original take on concepts and theories drawn from post-truth and disinformation studies, the book analyses the ‘infodemic’ through a series of global case studies. Framing the infodemic as a complex, multi-layered phenomenon with vast geopolitical implications, Gabriele Cosentino reveals the global competition for control in twenty-first century geopolitics between Western liberal democracies and non-Western autocracies, and above all between the United States and China.

“Probably the single most important contribution in turning the laboratory accident into a legitimate scientific hypothesis worthy of further investigation is to be credited to D.R.A.S.T.I.C (Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19), a loosely organized and leaderless group of scientists and online researchers primarily active on Twitter, which has been conducting a collaborative scientific investigation on the origin of Covid-19, discovering important elements that have challenged the mainstream consensus on the origin of the virus”

“According to David Asher, a former senior investigator working or the State Department, D.R.A.S.T.I.C is doing ‘better research than the U.S. Government”
“The failure of the mainstream media in properly acknowledging the importance of the laboratory accident hypothesis has been made even more striking in light of the investigating work done by a number of amateur sleuths via social media, especially Twitter, some of them working under the D.R.A.S.T.I.C collective moniker”
Page 100 -101
The work by D.R.A.S.T.I.C also vindicates the notion that social media and the internet more generally can be tools for a democratic and collaborative effort of discovering inconvenient truths and exposing cover-up by established powers and authoritarian governments.
The Reaper’s Dance: 1000 Days of COVID Kindle Edition by Ravi Iyer MD
This great new book fully credits the work of #DRASTIC:
From the suburbs of Washington, DC, and northern Virginia to the bat-infested caves of Wuhan, China, Dr. Ravi Iyer traces the myriad networks of the virus that brought the entire world to its knees for twenty-four months and decimated the lives of millions in its path.
The Reaper’s Dance puts you in a ringside seat to the horror of the COVID pandemic, the calculations of men who were in positions to influence the fate of millions, the science that might have unleashed the pandemic, and the science that saved the world.
From the failures of governments and leaders to the triumphs of individual men and women, The Reaper’s Dance is a story of the complex and compelling tapestry of human hubris and humility, courage, and cowardice, with an enduring, cautionary message for all humankind.
The Reaper’s Dance is a must-read that will inspire you, shake you, and wake you up.
