About this listen

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.

Dr Craigs book, narrated smoothly by the good doctor herself, contains a run down of the claims made for the Covid vaccine (prevents infection -> prevents hospitalisation -> prevents deaths) and reviews the real world evidence, the scientific literature and the science behind the mRA vaccines. And the result is damning verdict on the "vaccine saviour" claims made by government and medical institutions that promoted and promised so much from these vaccines, but then slowly retracted each one of them as reality kicked in. Strongly recommended.
