What Covid-19 Must Teach Us

An essential reference work for evaluating Covid-19 responses as well as for any future health crises... This substantially revised edition of the popular What Covid-19 Can Teach Us provides an updated analysis of the Corona crisis, with invaluable information relevant for any epidemic situation, including:* understanding viruses, the immune-system and resilience, * PCR tests: their reliability and true purpose, * uses and risks of vaccination, * successful alternative treatment approaches, * impact of fear and negative publicity on immunity... Dr Thomas Hardtmuth offers an evidence-based holistic perspective, with the latest science recognising viruses not as 'enemies' but as ubiquitous and vital for human evolution. Physical or psychological imbalances increase our vulnerability to illness, while a focus on health, lacking in Corona narratives, affords real resilience in the long term. Latest research shows how a diverse intestinal microbiome - bacteria and viruses included - is essential for health. The book examines the outer influences which affect this, from diet and medications to the decreasing diversity of species in the environment, reducing our resilience: all of these need addressing...The author urges open discussion on 'all things Corona', getting beyond restrictions placed on debate, with an urgent need to interrogate the unhealthy relationships between politics, business and medicine.
