I do not think that the book's cover fit with the book's ideas. The choice of graphic setting and color does not match with the book's tone.

The cover is not very flashy and could have been better developed. I particularly liked it, but it could have been done better (perhaps with brighter colors) if the objective was to reach a larger audience.

The light inscription on the black cover of the book hints at the dark theme. The silhouette of the needle on it also deepens the intuition about the book's content.

I would like to see the cover look a bit more crisp. It looks like a low-toner copy machine output. Also, a pop of color somewhere would draw more attention. I would put a drop of red at the end of the needle or a line of foil as the bent needle. Maybe I’d see the title in color. It just needs something to be more attention-getting. The design is perfect. It’s the washed-out look that needs something more.

The cover page is absolutely amazing and suit perfectly into the content of the book. The only suggestion I would make was for the black background to be read.

The book's cover is a little too dull for my liking. Considering the heft of the subject matter, I think a more vibrant and catchy presentation would be in order. From the cover, the book looks like a dull medical journal that wouldn't captivate readers outside the profession.

In my opinion, the fact that the needle is broken can be interpreted in several ways: that the vaccine is dangerous (just like the use of a bent needle); that the health system is corrupted; or simply that this vaccine should not be used, since when it is in such a state it should be discarded.

I think the book cover was apt and was okay. I don't mind as the book was so good.

The cover design appears quite intriguing at first glance, particularly due to its dark color scheme and overall aesthetic. However, to truly appreciate the cover's details and their significance, I feel compelled to delve deeper into the book itself. At this initial stage, though, I find the cover visually appealing and am eager to uncover its deeper meaning as I progress through the book.

The cover image definitely suits the topic of this book, but it does not particularly entice me to read it.

I think the dark cover goes with the theme of the book. The crooked needle represents everything that is wrong the vaccine because a crooked needle does more harm than good. I don't mind the font. The fonts & titles of non fiction books are usually boring. So this one doesn't bother me a lot. All in all it looks professional.

I personally feel a light background would draw more attention to the syringe or/and the needle in, or at least the title could be in red.

I was drawn to the title, not the cover in this case.

Sincerely, I believe that the gloomy motif is a fantastic fit for the subject matter, and the twisted needle is an accurate representation of the topics covered in the book. To be more visually appealing, the typeface could use some tweaking.

I think every detail in the cover has been carefully thought. It’s designed with the dark colours to create uneasy and feel alarmed, so people who are against the covid vaccine immediately feel like this is a book for them (in my opinion)
