Career

Early career

David Zweig released two albums in the early 2000s, All Now With Wings and Keep Going,[7] which were produced by Keith Cleversley.[8]

Novels

Zweig is the author of three books. His novel "Swimming Inside the Sun" was notable for exploring the concept of depersonalization. He describes this perspective as follows: "Fiction Depersonalization Syndrome, a hypothesis that I have developed, posits that immersion in the Western world’s highly mediated environment ...leads to increased self-consciousness; the extreme endpoint of this phenomenon is depersonalization, a psychological disorder where one is literally watching oneself from afar, as if in a movie or a dream."[9]

Journalism

Zweig is best known for his articles regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, authoring a series of investigative pieces challenging contemporary responses to the pandemic, particularly school closures, and the enforcement of various interventions, including mask mandates in schools[10] and the evidence supporting such mandates.[11] His articles "The Science of Masking Kids in School Remains Uncertain,"[12] and "The CDC's Flawed Case for Wearing Masks in School"[13] proved to be influential works for critics of mask mandates in schools.[14] Zweig was present at the Great Barrington Declaration.[15]

He testified as an expert witness before the United States House of Representatives Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee Hearing “Back to School: Highlighting Best Practices For Safely Reopening School” on Wednesday, September 29, 2021,[16] and at the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic meeting on March 28, 2023.[17]
