The COVID-19 Pandemic of Fear

In the updated edition of her book, Margaret Stevenson explains how people have been threatened and coerced to follow a political line.

Margaret shows how, with determination and some strategies, we can break free from this mental prison and design our own future – one of peace, hope, freedom and abundance.

‘When COVID-19 appeared, the world was imprisoned in political and medical tyranny. Our constitutional rights were confiscated, unlawful lockdowns imposed, and lives and livelihoods were lost. Logic and reason were trashed and replaced with mandates and madness.

Since the experimental COVID vaccine rollout, people have been injured and are dying in record numbers – on the sporting field, in business meetings and at the dining table. This inconvenient truth can no longer be sugar-coated or brushed under the carpet.’ www.margaretstevenson.com.au
