Kids and COVID: Costly Mistakes That Must Never Happen Again
by Elizabeth MumperKids and COVID provides an in-depth look at mistakes pandemic officials made that hurt children and adolescents around the world. In spring of 2020, it was understandable that those directing government policies made errors of judgment since data was just emerging. However, within the first year of the declared pandemic, physicians and scientists from around the globe published data and made reliable observations that should have prompted a change of course. Dr. Elizabeth Mumper documents early warnings from eminent clinicians that repurposed drugs could be used to treat patients early, rather than waiting until they had trouble breathing, as advised. Sound epidemiological evidence suggested in March 2020 that the mortality rate of COVID was far less than was reported on mainstream news. Doctors in the trenches treating patients warned of the dangers of hospital protocols, including giving remdesivir with its high rate of kidney damage and omitting appropriate doses of short-term steroids. These scientists and clinicians were gaslighted and accused of spreading &“misinformation.&” The most vulnerable—the young and elderly—suffered massive psychological damage as their social networks were dismantled. Immune function changed as beneficial microbes were disrupted. You may be surprised that what you learn in this book is quite different from what you were told. Kids and COVID calls on parents to organize grassroots efforts on behalf of their children to make global shutdowns and prolonged school closures a &“one and done&” phenomenon.

Killer High: A History of War in Six Drugs
by Peter AndreasThere is growing alarm over how drugs empower terrorists, insurgents, militias, and gangs. But by looking back not just years and decades but centuries, Peter Andreas reveals that the drugs-conflict nexus is actually an old story, and that powerful states have been its biggest beneficiaries. In his path-breaking Killer High, Andreas shows how six psychoactive drugs-ranging from old to relatively new, mild to potent, licit to illicit, natural to synthetic-have proven to be particularly important war ingredients. This sweeping history tells the story of war from antiquity to the modern age through the lens of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, opium, amphetamines, and cocaine. Beer and wine drenched ancient and medieval battlefields, and the distilling revolution lubricated the conquest and ethnic cleansing of the New World. Tobacco became globalized through soldiering, with soldiers hooked on smoking and governments hooked on taxing it. Caffeine and opium fueled imperial expansion and warfare. The commercialization of amphetamines in the twentieth century energized soldiers to fight harder, longer, and faster, while cocaine stimulated an increasingly militarized drug war that produced casualty numbers surpassing most civil wars. As Andreas demonstrates, armed conflict has become progressively more drugged with the introduction, mass production, and global spread of mind-altering substances. As a result, we cannot understand the history of war without including drugs, and we similarly cannot understand the history of drugs without including war. From ancient brews and battles to meth and modern warfare, drugs and war have grown up together and become addicted to each other.
