Gert Bo Thorgersen: A week ago, I bought the book, even though I already owned old books about vaccines, and new about Covid-19, because by in Amazon reading in it, I then got interested and ordered it. And after now having read it, I must say that I am very happy to have bought the book, which tomorrow I will lend a doctor.

As a side remark, after much has happened since the book bot in print, then many persons tell that for Sweden, which we read about, it turned out bad with only few infection restrictions. When I calculate with numbers found in Google, we see that in Sweden 1.33%, opposite to Denmark, with much restrictions, 0.823% of the infected died. But actually, it’s enormous unprecise just to compare measures from different countries, as daily learn by seeing how WHO mixes the measures.

And concerning failure in the public media, daily I see this in the Thailand Tv news. Now daily 50 – 110 persons are told to have died of Covid-19, but until in March, when then daily only 10 – 20 dead, it then was printed down if they also had been suffering other diseases (heart, cancer, fat, diabetes…) and which of these. And then daily only 0 – 1 suffering Covid-19. So, from until...

Matloub Husayn-Ali-Khan: This is an excellent book by Dr Karina Reiss and Dr Sucharit Bhakdi entitled: “Corona False Alarm Fact and Figures” with credible data, actual hard-hitting scientific data with links and sources. Completed the book within a day and found it a fascinating read and hope that one day this book will serve as a cautionary tale about dangers of collusion between governments, media, the medical establishment, big business, and big tech (technocracy) in a future world which pulled back from the brink of fascism, totalitarianism, and the enslavement of the 99%. For many people who have been deliberately labelled as ‘conspiracy theorists’ when in actual reality the conspiracy they talk about is a ‘conspiracy fact’. This book confirms that the current global ‘killer virus’ is a disease that makes some people sick, proves fatal to a few, and does nothing to the rest. Like any annual flu. Of course, it was always necessary to take special care not to bring these agents to elderly persons with pre-existing illnesses. When you feel unwell, refrain from visiting Grandma and Grandpa, especially if they are suffering from a heart condition or lung disease. And whoever has the flu...

Thierry Landrieu: J'imaginais que l'Allemagne , bien mieux équipée que nous au point de vue médical en général et surtout en lits de réanimation, sortirait bien mieux que nous son épingle de la pandémie . Et bien que nenni , ils ont mangé confinements, masques et fermetures de restaurants à la même sauce que nous et avec les mêmes justifications .
Alors vu qu'on nous a rabâché que nous devions nous confiner pour " aplatir la courbe et éviter d'engorger les hôpitaux " et qu'aujourd'hui après un an d'épidémie on n'a toujours pas plus - parait il - de lits de réanimation , si on a servi le même message aux allemands.... elle est où la logique ?
L'auteur fait déjà les mêmes constatations qu'on fait aujourd'hui en France , une réaction énorme face à une surmortalité assez limitée . ( évaluée à 4% en France pour 2020 ... ce qui reste exceptionnel certes ) .
Donc ... j'ai vraiment été sidéré de voir comment cette critique de la gestion de la crise rejoint celles qu'on lit en France ...

Monocled Libertarian: This is an important book. It is more than just about statistics (and this book provides ample stats. Though much of it should be obvious to those who follow events closely. Do keep in mind it does focus on Germany but what happened there applies to most countries; particularly in the West including my country of Canada), which are indeed crucial if we're to contextualize things properly if not dispassionately, but about how we're handling the situation, and what the potential poor ramifications that may come of it.

My concern from the onset was once we tap into people's primal emotions like fear, it's impossible to reason it back into calm. It has to pass. This is the biggest failure in my judgement. Another monumental mistake were the lockdowns which were disproportionate to the threat and come with tragic trade-offs; Bastiat's dictum of 'the unseen' rears its mysterious head once more. We over played the precautionary principle to the point of grotesqueness.

We allowed government to essentially take over our lives and with it came a loss of liberty and independence all under the guise of 'public health'. We became slaves to medical bureaucrats and infectious...

lauren haut: This is an amazing view on how the principles of epidemiology were thrown out the window on this epidemic. The effects of the lockdown are far more dangerous than any virus, especially this one, could ever be.

This original version of the book was written months ago and there are new facts always popping up but the way viruses work and transmit do not change.

Dr. Reiss and Dr. Bhakdi outline how:
-- the standard PCR testing for the virus was rushed, without quality assurance, offering up huge amounts of false positives.
-- covid-19 is a designation that, really, only belongs to the 10% of infected individuals with severe illness. Thus, the "covid-19 cases" are improperly labeled and pushed.
-- any death with a positive test is listed as a covid death, thus inflating mortality.
-- government officials in Germany conspired to make things look worse than they were.
-- the risk is very low for most people and children. schools should have never closed.
-- background immunity to the virus from T-Cells or lymphocytes is apparent in roughly 50% of the population so we are closer to natural Herd Immunity than we thought. We were lied to, being told this...
