The selection of titles – "DMT: The Spirit Molecule," "The Great Renaissance," and "The Real Anthony Fauci" – immediately sparked online debate. The video, posted by IonuȚ (@ionut1986oficial), quickly garnered attention due to the controversial nature of the books, particularly those questioning the narratives surrounding COVID-19 vaccines and public health measures. The video's author, IonuȚ, expressed excitement about expanding their knowledge. However, the choice of books has drawn criticism from some viewers, highlighting the potential spread of misinformation.
