This remarkable study was first released towards the close of 2021, but is just as relevant today as it was 20 months ago.

Required reading

The book effectively claims to reveal the true story of the Covid-19 pandemic, based on extensive and painstaking research, all of which is thoroughly documented and referenced. Given the salient importance of this event in recent world history and the profound impact it may have on the future of human society, if the general thrust of their thesis is indeed correct, this work should surely be required reading.

Normally Prophecy Today reviews are for explicitly Christian books, but the re-engineering of our modern world triggered by Covid-19 is of profound prophetic significance and its future consequences are likely to be especially impactful on followers of Jesus. Furthermore, the book’s perspective is to some extent theological; the authors explain the crisis and its handling in terms of a Marxist, globalist attack on Judeo-Christian values, which they defend as essential for preserving the freedoms of the Western world and the USA in particular. Peter - a Jewish believer in God (without specifically referencing Jesus) - is the primary author, assisted by his Christian wife Ginger.

Credentials

Before examining the book’s extraordinary claims, it is important to briefly summarise Peter Breggin’s particular credentials for writing it, as they lend significant weight to the credibility of his testimony against the medical establishment and big pharma in particular. To quote from his bio:

“Peter R. Breggin MD is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former Consultant at NIMH who has been called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his many decades of successful efforts to reform the mental health field…. Dr. Breggin has authored dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books, including medical books and the bestsellers Toxic Psychiatry and Talking Back to Prozac. …. As a medical-legal expert, Dr. Breggin has unprecedented and unique knowledge about how the pharmaceutical industry too often commits fraud in researching and marketing psychiatric drugs. He has testified many times in malpractice, product liability and criminal cases, often in relation to adverse drug effects and more occasionally electroshock and psychosurgery.”

Assuming We are the Prey is generally accurate, this must be one of the most extreme cases of truth being stranger than fiction. Yet many of the author’s claims are now coming to light more widely (although presented more cautiously) in those parts of the media which are not completely sold out to the globalist agenda.

Breggin extensively documents the deliberate attempts by governments to exaggerate the scale of the crisis – intentionally using fear to ensure compliance with lockdowns, mask-wearing and other measures.

In this context, it is perhaps worth reminding British readers of the exceptional disconnect concerning Brexit between ordinary people and the pro-EU mainstream political establishment and much of the media, as well as the extraordinary extent to which the latter promoted “project fear”. This perspective may be helpful when considering We are the Prey, in which Breggin extensively documents the deliberate attempts by governments to exaggerate the scale of the crisis – intentionally using fear to ensure compliance with lockdowns, mask-wearing and other measures.

The role of Fauci

The book starts by examining at length the extensive collaboration for many years between Anthony Fauci and other US scientists with Chinese scientists working for the country’s leading biological warfare research lab in Wuhan. (Fauci, long-term director of NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infections) was advisor to presidents Trump and Biden on national policy relating to Covid-19.) Specifically, strong evidence is provided that Fauci used NIAID to fund “gain-of-function” research through the organisation EcoHealth Alliance – even directly defying presidents Obama and Trump in doing so.

In theory, such research is needed in order to better understand possible future diseases - potentially including those developed for biological warfare. However, rather than being beneficial, the Breggins argue that this research actually resulted in Covid-19, concluding that the chances of the virus having arisen naturally are infinitesimally small. Furthermore, there are numerous documented cases of laboratory leaks of engineered pathogens, so gain-of-function research is not without its dangers. The authors’ support for the 'Lab Leak' theory was still a minority opinion at time of publication, but now regarded by US authorities as the most plausible cause, thus giving credence to the book as a whole.

Vaccines

The story gets worse when it comes to vaccines, starting with the suppression by the medical establishment of pre-existing effective treatments for Covid-19 in its early stages. It is argued that this was deliberately done for profit because the US licencing regulations would have been forced to refuse the emergency authorisation of the MRNA experimental vaccines if any alternative existing treatment were known to be available. Significant evidence is then presented which calls into question official vaccine narratives, examining, for example, the abandoned attempts to develop vaccines against SARS-CoV-1 (an earlier, similar virus to Covid-19), the under-reporting of adverse drug reactions, the high level of reported deaths attributed to the vaccines (already several thousand in the USA) and more.

The other side of the equation has been the tendency to exaggerate Covid deaths by recording it as the cause of death for anyone dying with the disease, whereas 94% of such fatalities among the elderly in the USA were for people with at least 2.5 co-morbidities – that is, pre-existing potentially lethal conditions such as cancer.

Pre-determined pandemic?

The book’s title, referring to the general public as ‘prey’ for the globalist predators, pithily but controversially summarises its contention that both the release of Covid-19 and the response to it were prepared and planned. Periodic global pandemics are inevitable, widely expected, and therefore rightly planned for. However, the authors find the uncanny accuracy of predictions made by Fauci, Bill Gates (who has a financial interest in seven different Covid vaccines, including Pfizer, Moderna and Astra-Zeneca) and various other billionaire globalists suspicious. Once Covid-19 arrived, their vaccines were already practically ready and then rushed through FDA emergency authorisation in record time. They state, for example, that:

"The 'design' and 'manufacture' of a specific coronavirus vaccine within days after the identification of the pandemic in early February is either the luckiest guess ever made by mankind, a miracle, or the product of huge investments made with great planning and specific foreknowledge" (p567).

Bill Gates has a financial interest in seven different Covid vaccines, including Pfizer, Moderna and Astra-Zeneca.

The weight of circumstantial evidence supporting this ‘conspiracy theory’ is such that the book concludes with a 36-page timeline recording specific events and statements which collectively lend it significant credence. This is presented as a “living document”, meaning that additional material is being continually added right up to the time of publication; in practice, this means that when someone orders the book, they are immediately sent a link to download a pdf of the latest version. In their urgency to get the book out, the Breggins have made its digital content free to readers outside the USA. This review is based on the manuscript as of 24th May 2021.

Complex web of events

The authors reveal their personal shock at discovering how what initially appeared to be an investigation into the specific field of medical mal-practice relentlessly led their enquiries into an ever more complex web of interrelated events. Readers should not therefore be surprised to find the book exploring themes such as 'The Great Reset' and the globalist agenda, as well as evidence for widespread interference with the 2020 US election – a claim generally regarded as another ‘conspiracy’. (Regarding the successful election of Jo Biden, John Kerry actually stated “We’ve done the Great Reset”.)

Finally, as a specialist in the field of psychiatry, Breggin offers some reflections on the words, actions and apparent motives of the globalist predators, whom he describes as “sociopaths”. There is perhaps a danger here of distracting from the core message of the book by dealing with a subject which is, by its very nature, speculative – although Channel 4 also recently broadcast a documentary drawing similar conclusions about the personality of Bill Gates.

It is worth mentioning the contribution of three eminent physicians to the book’s Foreword. These include medics who have saved numerous lives by treating Covid in its early stages with pre-existing, safe, conventional medicines. Their comments on the political take-over of the medical establishment are particularly damning, with one of them describing it as a “crime against humanity”. The book includes references to resources for those who might wish to seek out the aforementioned treatments and to physicians who are willing to go against the tide and prescribe them, although most of these are in the USA.

Conclusion

We are the Prey is a book which will fiercely divide readers between those who dismiss it as a monstruous conspiracy theory, and those who find it confirms their worst suspicions. The authors are passionate in their political and religious convictions in a way which some British readers may find 'preachy'.

Nevertheless, regardless of where one stands, the evidence presented by the Breggins deserves to be openly debated rather than being cancelled by mainstream media and social media platforms.

‘Covid-19 and the Global Predators - We are the Prey’ is published by and is available from Amazon for £14.00 (kindle versionn only £2.84). The book is available for free in digital format for readers outside the USA. Check Peter Breggin’s website here.
