Moore have translated this complex material into a book designed for a public audience.

With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it's a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don't betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions. Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad.

Paris is transformed into an abandoned stage. To quicken his recovery, Pröpper begins walking.

Pröpper also reflects on his own life and the literature that has shaped him.

Lock downs and masks had no significant impact on the spread of COVID-19, and the vaccine didn't stop transmission. The authorities and the media pushed the false "everyone's at risk" narrative, and instead of focusing protection on the elderly and immuno-compromised people who were at genuine risk, they shut down the world. Trillions of dollars were wasted, economies crashed, kids' education was stunted, and civil liberties were set back a generation. This is the incredible story of how it happened.

Může virus zemřít? A jak se z virů chcípáčků stávají světoví šampióni? Máme se obávat silného státu? A jaký smysl má mýlit se? Pandemie nemoci covid-19 přináší záplavu otázek, ale málo jasných odpovědí. Komu věřit, když je všude plno „odborníků“? Publicista Aleš Palán se rozhodl „uvěřit“ člověku, který s viry žije skoro celý profesní život. Rozhovor s předním českým biochemikem a prorektorem Karlovy Univerzity Janem Konvalinkou je výletem do světa vědy, smrtících virů, i nevědeckých fám; do zákulisí koronavirové pandemie i chyb, kterých jsme se dopustili.

Le pandemie sono grandi eventi trasformazionali. Si abbattono su sistemi che si credono consolidati, aprendo crepe e facendo tremare tutto. Destabilizzano, insomma. Suscitano un sentimento ambivalente: paura e incertezza da una parte, ma anche meraviglia, perché all'interno delle loro pieghe ci sono enormi opportunità. Di comprensione del mondo, di aggiornamento del nostro modo di relazionarci a esso.

Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like ‘pandemic’ and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam.

There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations.

And how, next time, could we do better? Because there will be a next time.
