"In January 2020, Donald Trump was on the fast track to an easy re-election. While his first two years had been stymied by House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and the Democrats, his third year had been one of remarkable success. The United States had low unemployment and was making strides across the globe. The president's rallies were well-attended, and he was being projected to win four hundred electoral votes and about forty-five states. Then came COVID-19. Dr. Paul Elias Alexander, former Senior Advisor to COVID Pandemic policy in the US government for President Trump and former COVID Pandemic evidence-synthesis advisor to WHO-PAHO, was on the frontlines to watch how Trump's world, and his reelection hopes, slowly collapsed leading up to November 2020--due to the CDC, NIH, and WHO conspiring to overthrow him with the worst response possible to the COVID crisis. Supported by emails and documents, career epidemiologist Alexander and New York Times-bestselling author Kent Heckenlively, JD, will not only show proof of a presidential takedown, but also of the personal vendetta of the CDC and HHS against Alexander himself. From unnecessary lockdowns, school closures, and mask mandates to the dismissal of effective treatments like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and vitamin D and even threats against President Trump and his family, Presidential Takedown: How Anthony Fauci, the CDC, NIH, and the WHO Conspired to Overthrow President Trump is the inside story of what really happened from those first COVID-19 reports to President Trump's "loss" in November."--Amazon.com
