Da Eula Biss fødte sin søn, var hun i tvivl om, hvorvidt hun skulle vaccinere ham.Var vacciner skadelige? For at finde svar begyndte hun at udforske den viden, vi har om vacciner, og efterhånden blev hun overbevist: Hun skyldte både sin søn og vores fællesskab at vaccinere ham. Men samtidig åbnede hendes egen tvivl for spørgsmålet om, hvorfor det intuitivt kan virke næsten forkert at vaccinere sit barn. I dette essay udforsker Eula Biss, hvordan metaforer og andre sproglige figurer påvirker de tanker og forestillinger, vi gør os om vacciner, kropslig sårbarhed, sundhed og smitte. Hun gennemgår vaccinationens historie, og hun viser, hvordan vacciner taler til vores frygt for den moderne, industrialiserede verden. Samtidig forsøger hun at give os et nyt sprog til at tale om vacciner: Immunitet er en fælles opsparing, et offentligt rum. Vi er ikke bare ansvarlige for vores egne kroppe, men også for alle de kroppe, som omgiver os.”Dette medrivende essay … prøver at forstå anti-vaccine-bevægelsen og trækker på så forskellige emner som Tavst forår, Dracula, Illness as Metaphor og CIA’s vaccinationskampagner i Pakistan … Biss prøver at overkomme polariseringen i vaccinationsdebatten ved at fokusere på en kollektiv vision: flokimmunitet som et ’fælles rum’.” The New Yorker “Tænk på Eula Biss som en vaccine mod uklar og usammenhængende tænkning, som en boostervaccine af dine tankers skarphed, som et termometer, der tager temperaturen på idéer om renhed, smitte, individualitet og fællesskab.” Rebecca Solnit, forfatter af Mænd forklarer mig ting”Immuniteter en nødvendig bog – en heftig dosis medfølende rationalitet udskrevet af en nutidig arvtager til Voltaire – som beder os om at se grundigt på de samfundsmæssige konsekvenser af individuelle valg.”Los Angeles Review of Books
Dieses Buch beschreibt aus rein epidemiologischer Sicht, die Entstehung und Entwicklung einer Epidemie mit Hilfe von Differentialgleichungssystemen. Dabei wird die Bevölkerung in die bekannten Kompartimente oder Klassen aufgeteilt. Ausgehend vom einfachsten Modell werden in nachvollziehbaren kleinen Schritten die bestehenden Modelle erweitert, um Phänomene wie Rückfall oder Immunitätsverlust zu modellieren. Zudem werden in weiteren Schritten Kompartimente hinzugefügt, die mit der Berücksichtigung von Quarantäne und Impfung einhergehen. Jedes Modell wird vollständig analysiert und die Ergebnisse festgehalten. Danach folgt für jedes Modell mindestens ein vollständig gelöstes Zahlenbeispiel inklusive einer Darstellung für den jeweiligen Epidemieverlauf. Kern dieses Buches bilden die Simulationen und Prognosen für vier verschiedene Covid-Pandemiewellen in Zentraleuropa der letzten Jahre mit den erfassten Daten und unter Verwendung von 6 Modellen. Darüber hinaus werden Möglichkeiten zur Schätzung von Raten und Anfangswerten präsentiert, die für eine Vorhersage eines Epidemieverlaufs unerlässlich sind. Dieses Buch ist wegweisend für den Einstieg in die Modellierung von Pandemien und eignet sich auch als Nachschlagewerk.
A vibrant cultural history investigating pandemics and vaccines, by bestselling author and historian Simon SchamaCities and countries engulfed by panic and death, desperate for vaccines but fearful of what inoculation may bring. This is what the world has just gone through with Covid-19. But as Simon Schama shows in his epic history of vulnerable humanity caught between the terror of contagion and the ingenuity of science, it has happened before.Characteristically, Schama's message is delivered through gripping, page-turning stories set in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: smallpox strikes London; cholera hits Paris; plague comes to India. Threading through the scenes of terror, suffering and hope - in hospitals and prisons, palaces, and slums - are an unforgettable cast of characters: a philosopher-playwright burning up with smallpox in a country chateau; a vaccinating doctor paying house calls in Halifax; a woman doctor in south India driving her inoculator-carriage through the stricken streets as dead monkeys drop from the trees. But we are also in the labs when great, life-saving breakthroughs happen, in Paris, Hong Kong, and Mumbai.At the heart of it all is an unsung hero: Waldemar Haffkine, a gun-toting Jewish student in Odesa turned microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute, hailed in England as "the saviour of mankind" for vaccinating millions against cholera and bubonic plague in British India while being cold-shouldered by the medical establishment of the Raj. Creator of the world's first mass production line of vaccines in Mumbai, he is tragically brought down in an act of shocking injustice.Foreign Bodies crosses borders between east and west, Asia and Europe, the worlds of rich and poor, politics and science. Its thrilling story carries with it the credo of its author on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature; of the powerful and the people. Ultimately, Schama says, as we face the challenges of our times together, "there are no foreigners, only familiars."
Er det rigtigt for mig at lade mit barn følge det anbefalede børnevaccinationsprogram, som er frivilligt? Det var en problematik, jeg som mor måtte træffe et valg omkring. Var valget forkert, da min søn blev syg dagen efter en DiTePol vaccine? Undskyld, jeg lod dig vaccinere, min søn. Vaccinationsproblematikken er stadig aktuel. Denne bog giver med den naturmedicinske faglighed en mere nuanceret viden til at træffe beslutningen om vaccination på. Bogen belyser gennem teori og praktisk erfaring, at vacciner kan forårsage bivirkninger, være medvirkende til udviklingen af kroniske sygdomme og diagnoser som autisme og ADHD. Bogen har en beskrivelse af behandlingsformen CEASE Therapy, der er udviklet specielt til udrensning for bivirkninger efter vacciner. Der beskrives måder at styrke børnenes indre livskræfter på og lade dem følge deres indre kreative vej. ”Lone showed the video of what homeopathy and especially the CEASE Therapy did for her ADHD son, sort of a miracle. If we were only allowed to help all those suffering children, desperate parents and teachers out there!” Anne Vervarcke
Everyone has a COVID pandemic story to tell. Dr. Andrew Duxbury has many: stories of a veteran geriatric physician caring for the most fragile patients in a university health system and in rural homes in the Deep South; stories of his concern for family, friends, fellow practitioners, and the state of our healthcare system nationwide; stories of his own isolation, of the loss of simple pleasures and passionate pastimes; stories of policies and politics that contributed to tens of thousands of needless deaths as well-known preventative measures were actively discouraged by state and local governments and exacerbated by cultural divides. This is a rare account of a rare time in American history, a contemporaneous record from the end of "normal", and the anxiety and despair felt by all, to the beginning of fragile hope for a better future.
The story of a silenced minority who put their constitutional oaths before all else to keep our Founding Fathers' great gift of liberty alive. Defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines is an explosive, tell-all book, detailing the military COVID-19 vaccine mandate, and the resistance to that mandate by service members who could not, in good conscience, go along. As an actively serving Navy Commander, Robert A. Green Jr. removes the veil of military secrecy and complexity to shed light on the related unlawfulness and the official cover-up being committed by certain DoD leaders. His deep dive into the current crisis details the harms perpetrated against service members and their families as well as the destruction of military readiness that resulted. Standing upon his First Amendment rights, the first-time author analyzes the current crisis in light of the challenges faced by our Founding Fathers. His message to the American people is clear: The crisis our military is facing will only be solved by following in the footsteps of our Founding Fathers and returning to an adherence to the Constitution that our forebears sacrificed everything to leave us.
A vibrant cultural history investigating the tangled and complex history of pandemics and vaccines, by bestselling author and historian Simon Schama
Il faut que cela se sache ! Nos enfants reçoivent, dès leurs premières semaines de vie, onze vaccins obligatoires qui introduisent dans leur fragile organisme des doses d'aluminium 20 à 30 fois supérieures au seuil toxique fixé par l'OMS. S'y ajoutent des métaux lourds tout aussi impliqués dans la genèse de maladies neurodégénératives et autres affections auto-immunes en augmentation exponentielle. La pharmacovigilance ne s'intéresse pas aux vaccinations dont les dégâts parfois tardifs sont occultés par les fabricants et niés par leurs experts. La Covid aura juste été prétexte à l'injection multiple, sous contrainte et le plus souvent inutile, de produits expérimentaux à des personnes en bonne santé. Quant au pass vaccinal, il sert surtout à écouler les stocks de doses périmées...Ayant effectué des milliers d'immunisations dans sa longue carrière, le Dr Gimbert a eu l'occasion de constater leur possible dangerosité à travers la survenue d'accidents parfois graves. Il livre un témoignage sincère et sans concession, et explique en quoi la défiance à l'égard des nouveaux vaccins lui semble un droit parfaitement légitime, avant de proposer toute une série de mesures immédiates, susceptibles de restaurer la confiance populaire
The "Godfather of Vaccines", Stanley A Plotkin, is the world-renowned American physician who works as a consultant to vaccine manufacturers, such as Sanofi Pasteur, as well as biotechnology firms, non-profits and governments. In the 1960s, he played a pivotal role in discovery of a vaccine against rubella virus while working at Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. Plotkin was a member of Wistar's active research faculty from 1960 to 1991.In addition to his emeritus appointment at Wistar, he is emeritus professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania. His book, "Vaccines," is the standard reference on the subject. He is an editor with Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, which is published by the American Society for Microbiology in Washington, D.C. In 2017, Plotkin agreed to be an expert witness for a court case in Michigan. This is the unaltered transcript from the legal deposition of that case and is an unprecedented look into the mind of perhaps the most knowledgeable authority in the field in an honest and thorough interview by one of the foremost legal minds in the world, Aaron Siri.
The untold story of how America's progressive-era war on smallpox sparked one of the great civil liberties battles of the twentieth century. At the turn of the last century, a smallpox epidemic swept the United States from coast to coast. In this gripping account, award- winning historian Michael Willrich chronicles the government's fight against the outbreak and the ensuing clash of modern medicine, civil liberties, and state power. Pox introduces readers to memorable characters on both sides of the debate-from the doctors and club- wielding police charged with enforcing the law to vaccinate every citizen to the anti-vaccinationists, who stood up for their individual freedoms but were often dismissed as misguided cranks. Riveting and thoroughly researched, Pox delivers a masterful examination of progressive-era history that resonates powerfully today.
