Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on statements of numerous scholars from around the world -- virologists, epidemiologists, immunologists, pathologists, microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, including Nobel Prize winners, as well as front-line ER physicians and family practice MDs -- veteran journalist James Perloff asks hard questions about the global response to COVID-19. Are the viruss health risks greater than those posed by the lockdowns? What does the science say about masks and social distancing? Why were no lockdowns imposed for previous pandemics of comparable magnitude? How accurate are the death numbers attributed to COVID-19? Is the virus completely natural, or could bio-engineering have played a role? Should the worlds population take a COVID vaccine developed at warp speed? Why is Bill Gates formulating health policy, even though he has no medical credentials? How might a second wave be different? Is the COVID crisis being exploited to push us into an Orwellian future of mass surveillance, digital IDs and cashless transactions?
