A sweeping, deeply researched chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic, weaving together science, politics, and personal freedoms.

The book doesn’t just tell the story of a virus—it lays bare the cultural and political divide that shaped America’s uneven and often painful response. Gruner’s writing is crisp, and he breaks down complex topics without dumbing them down.

Taking Immunizations Safely is an absolute necessity if you want to keep both you and your family healthy. The body responds to all bacteria and viruses the exact same way, so we need to understand how vaccines and booster shots work if we are going to benefit from them. Immunizations are a weakened form of a pathogen meant to prepare the body for exposure. However, they won't increase protection if the body's immune system is not supported with the right nutrition. Proper nutrition will allow vaccinations to be taken safely so they can do the job that they are designed to do.

SARS­CoV­2 hält seit über zwei Jahren die Welt in Atem. Doch wo liegt der Ursprung des Virus und wie genau ist es entstanden? Wie ein Krimi ­nal kommissar hat sich der erfahrene Molekular­biologe Günter Theißen auf Spurensuche begeben und seit Anbeginn der Pandemie alle verfügbaren Fakten zusammenge tragen. Schon bald musste er jedoch feststellen, dass sich die Mehrzahl der Fachleute und ein Großteil der Medien auf eine rein natürliche Entstehung des Virus festgelegt haben—ohne hieb­ und stichfeste Beweise! Warum besteht so wenig Interesse daran, die Wahrheit zu erfahren?

I USA begynder pludselig soldater at bløde fra munden og ørerne. Året er 1918, og den mystiske sygdom spreder sig med lynets hastighed, og et par uger senere er hele tre kontinenter påvirkede. Det følgende dør halvtreds millioner mennesker døde. Sygdommen, der kaldes den spanske syge, fordi spanske aviser er de første til at skrive om den, er forårsaget af en virus. Nyere undersøgelser viser, at den spanske syge var en fugleinfluenza, der muterede, så den kunne inficere mennesker.

Pest, kopper og kolera. Det er blot nogle af de epidemier, der gennem tiden har været med til at slå millioner og atter millioner af mennesker ihjel.

Wenn Krankheiten um die Welt reisen: Die vergangenen einhundert Jahre waren geprägt von teils verheerenden Krankheitsausbrüchen. Die Spanische Grippe, ein tragisches Erbe des Ersten Weltkriegs, kostete Millionen Menschen das Leben. 1924 wütete eine Lungenpest und versetzte die Bewohner von Los Angeles in blanke Panik. Schlimmer noch fegte die Angst vor der Papageienkrankheit kurz nach dem Wall-Street-Crash von 1929 durch die Vereinigten Staaten. Hinzu kamen Legionärskrankheit, AIDS, SARS, Ebola, Zika und schließlich Covid-19.
