Does the race for vaccine development make sense? What are the chances of success? Will the vaccine be safe? Will people accept it??
In June 2020, Corona, False Alarm? exploded into the German market, selling 200,000 copies and 75,000 e-books in the first six weeks.
No other topic dominates our attention as much as coronavirus and COVID-19, the infectious disease it triggers. There’s been a global deluge of contradictory opinions, fake news, and politically controlled information. Differing views on the dangers posed by the pandemic have led to deep division and confusion, within governments, society, and even among friends and family.
In Corona, False Alarm?, award-winning researchers Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Karina Reiss give clarity to these confusing and stressful times. They offer analysis of whether radical protective measures―including lockdown, social distancing, and mandatory masking―have been justified, and what the ramifications have been for society, the economy, and public health. Dr. Bhakdi and Dr. Reiss provide dates, facts, and background information, including:
- How Covid-19 compares with previous coronaviruses and the flu virus
- What infection numbers and the death rate really tell us
- The challenges around lockdown: Were the protective measures justified?
- Mandatory mask-wearing: Does the science support it?
- Vaccines: What are the chances of success? What are the risks?
Corona, False Alarm? provides you with sound information and substantiated facts―and encourages you to form your own opinion on the corona crisis.

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 virus is totally novel with no existing immunity.
-- censorship has been implemented worldwide like never seen in the modern era.
-- the WHO seems to be being much of the censorship and misinformation on the subject.
-- corporations have profited during the crisis (Amazon?) and much has been fueled by the vaccine producers' drive for a 20/1 return on their investment, hoping to mandate injections for 7 billion people, all of earth.
This is not conspiracy theory. This is criminal negligence by our leaders at best and most likely corporate-government criminal collusion.
Interestingly the Germans seem to be the most woke on the subject, with massive lockdown protests, perhaps sensing a scenario similar to their 1933—now on a global scale.
Yikes.
We ask for open debate worldwide and this book is a must-read for all critical thinkers no matter what their beliefs on the subject.
Thank you Dr. Reiss & Dr. Bhakdi

123 pages of refreshing, honest data about the virus insanity we have allowed to control our lives. I plan on ordering this in paperback to share with the fear-based people I am surrounded by who don't research & question but merely "drink the Kool-Aid" of the prevailing narrative in the media & from so-called "experts" like Bill Gates.
I will not be taking whatever vaccine they come up with but the danger that the authorities may coerce compliance is scarily possible. They are drunk on power.

Science is proving that you cannot rely on the PCR-tests of the inventor Kary Mullis! The test-kit is "For Research Use Only", "Not for Diagnostic Purpose", says a manufacturer's manual under "Regulatory Status"...
... The authors of this # 1 bestselling book in Germany admit that the measurements in nearly all Nations on earth are based on wrong numbers!
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been misleading politicians, the public and the feudalistic mass media all along! ...
... This book, first written in German language, could change the created atmosphere of fear in Germany by giving deliberate wrong prediction...
... Millions of Germans have now the right knowledge and the courage to stand up against the measurements to the predicated "second wave" and the vaccination-project! ...
... A "False Alarm" would be a crime against humanity! ...
... After reading this well written book I can say that it has been a "false alarm" in our letterworld with its infinite narratives!

Really great book. Straight to the point. Writen by 2 very qualified doctors. Almost 250 references in a book that isn't that long. You will know enough to realize the Coronavirus situation has been largely exaggerated and blown out of proportion within 5 pages after the introduction. It will drive home the point more and more from then on. A few useful graphs used to show important data. Really couldn't ask for any more. Get it ASAP. Really goes into a lot of the negative consiquences of the lockdowns. Incorporates studies and quotes from other experts very well. Pretty straightforward and easy to understand. Very happy with purchase.

A well researched and written book about COVID19 and the response in Germany and around the world. Everything is well documented in this book and it’s what our “experts” should be using to make decisions. It’s what good doctors in our country and around the world are saying about the reaction of many government and world health agencies. The more I research and read about SARS Covid 2, the more I realize the reactions taking place in October of 2020 as well as many months prior were over reactions and had little to do with science and all to do about control of people.

but I learned quite a few new things in this little book. Everything is footnoted (although some of the footnotes are in German!) and the evidence the authors bring about widespread corruption and the media's complicity is quite damning. And even though this book is up to date and must have been written quickly, it is well-written with quote-worthy statements throughout.

Cliched statement but - A MUST READ!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2020Verified Purchase
I'm the type of person the Government and Authorities dislike - the reason? Because I think for myself and ask questions.
In early 2020 I saw the videos from China of people falling over in the street, the videos from Italy of the packed hospital corridors and then the UK videos of people struggling to breath supposedly on ventilators. As a father and husband I reacted in worry and concern and went along with instructions. We stayed in if possible, washed our hands religiously and went for walks whilst keeping a distance if coming into contact with anyone.
However, after months of Lockdown my wife and I started to discuss why we're not seeing any of the hospitals full, why were all the nurses just creating dancing TikTok videos, why don't we know anyone that's actually had this virus? So we started to look at data - all available online via the NHS website. We started doing maths and realised that the figures just didn't add up to the restrictions that were being enforced - a 99.8% survival rate - those that were actually dying were 80 years of age + and had health issues - also those of a younger age also had health issues. Any relatively healthy person between the age of 0-70 years of age had practically zero chance of having any issues with this virus - maybe just a small bout of flu.
Having contacted my Welsh Senedd representative (Labour) I asked why our recent Local Lockdown was implemented - where and how did they get their data from? She sent me a link to the NHS website.
This whole COVID-19 is either a complete and utter plane crash response by the Governments around the world or being run it's course by the Pharmaceutical Companies alongside those that are going to make BILLIONS from all of this.
This book provides data, actual hard hitting factual scientific data with links and sources. I read it within 24 hours because I just couldn't put it down. This is an absolute must for anyone who has started to question what the hell is going on.

An enlightening read, confirming the data available indicating this virus is no more than a variant of the flu. It becomes obvious that darker forces are behind the scamdemic we are facing. We are being lied to by government and media. To cover up a global financial collapse perhaps?

An Authentic Wake Up Call!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2020Verified Purchase
Excellent book with extensive references. Both a catalogue of the socio-political events which have shaped the alleged 'pandemic' with useful discussions of means and motivations; and, as you'd expect from two scientists of such eminence, a forensic examination of the truths and lies about the virus and the implications of these. I thoroughly recommend this book, which equally functions as a very useful reference text for those who saw the deception for what it was from its early stages; and as a wakeup call for those still labouring under the misapprehension of the validity of official claims regarding the perceived danger of the virus. It also confirms the notion of the 'crisis' as the living embodiment of the 'lockstep' model. The book focuses largely on developments in Germany, yet as a UK reader the events described are virtually identical to what happened here and all over the Western world. One can only hope that one day this book will serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of collusion between governments, media, the medical establishment, big business and technocracy in a future world which pulled back from the brink of facism, totalitarianism and the enslavement of the 99%. The German origin of this book adds an extra verisimilitude to its warnings of what the crisis is bringing to societies all over the world as it has direct recent experience of what fascism really is and how manufactured fear and the indifference of the masses can have fatal and calamitous outcomes. Must read...before its too late...

We've been scammed… massively.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2020Verified Purchase
I've never been a 'conspiracy theorist' but as I came to realise that covid19 is not a high-impact novel disease but at most a 'nasty winter bug' harmless to all but the infirm I felt huge disquiet over the assault on our liberties unleashed by western governments.
This book confirms that the science of Covid in no way justifies lockdowns, surveillance, and tracking. Also, what is the point of a vaccine for a disease with 99%+ survival rate?
Covid is more of a pretext for social and economic remodelling. The financial system has been staggering ever since the 2007 credit crunch.

I have no time for conspiracy theories or biased mainstream narratives, but I have plenty of time for the truth. The book is well written and a timely source of sanity in a world running wild amidst all the hysteria and lies. I approached this book with extreme caution, but over 20 pages of references all check out. What can I say, I came to disprove the tin foil hat brigade and ended up having my eyes opened........This book is a must buy.
