What if the story we trusted was not the whole truth?

What if fear, not facts, drove our choices?

What if asking questions is not risky but essential?

In Spiked, pathologist Dr. Clare Craig steps back from the chaos of the covid messaging to conduct a meticulous post-mortem – not of a body, but of a global response. With a scientist’s precision and a doctor’s compassion, she tackles the key questions: What really happened? Did attempts to reduce harm achieve anything? And what did it cost us?

Drawing on official data, clinical trials, and historical lessons, Spiked examines how a single medical intervention became untouchable – elevated above scrutiny, even as ethical cornerstones like informed consent and bodily autonomy were quietly sidelined.

This is not a tale of conspiracy or blame, but a clear-eyed invitation to reflect. Were we given the full picture, or a simplified script to ensure compliance? Did open scientific debate thrive, or was it stifled by slogans and silence? Why were tough questions dismissed, and those who asked them cast as threats?

Spiked reveals how fear, moral pressure, and institutional groupthink outpaced reason, reshaping trust in science and society. You do not need to be a sceptic or a scientist to listen to this audiobook- just someone willing to wonder.
