Raktažodžiai:
Does the race for vaccine development make sense? What are the chances of success? Will the vaccine be safe? Will people accept it??









In June 2020, Corona, False Alarm? exploded into the German market, selling 200,000 copies and 75,000 e-books in the first six weeks.









No other topic dominates our attention as much as coronavirus and COVID-19, the infectious disease it triggers. Theres been a global deluge of contradictory opinions, fake news, and politically controlled information. Differing views on the dangers posed by the pandemic have led to deep division and confusion, within governments, society, and even among friends and family.





In Corona, False Alarm , award-winning researchers Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Karina Reiss give clarity to these confusing and stressful times. They offer analysis of whether radical protective measuresincluding lockdown, social distancing, and mandatory maskinghave been justified, and what the ramifications have been for society, the economy, and public health. Dr. Bhakdi and Dr. Reiss provide dates, facts, and background information, including:









How Covid-19 compares with previous coronaviruses and the flu virus What infection numbers and the death rate really tell us The challenges around lockdown: Were the protective measures justified? Mandatory mask-wearing: Does the science support it? Vaccines: What are the chances of success? What are the risks?



Corona, False Alarm? provides you with sound information and substantiated factsand encourages you to form your own opinion on the corona crisis.
