{"product_id":"spiked","title":"Spiked: A shot in the dark (paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWere 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpiked 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 read this book – just someone willing to wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 605 pages.
