Schwarzbuch Corona

In medicine, it is said that the therapy should not be more harmful than the disease. When applying this to the global measures taken to contain the coronavirus, one might have to speak of one of the greatest blunders in history. The indirect collateral damage of the therapy is disproportionate to the damage caused by the virus itself. Journalist and bestselling author Jens Berger illustrates, with numerous national and international examples, the damages caused by the Corona policy and those that continue to occur. These damages span the fields of economics, ecology, and health—but also affect our mental well-being. The damages are distributed in a way that is more unsolidary than in any previous catastrophe. They will accompany us for a long time and will fundamentally change our societies. Berger looks beyond the numbers of infections and incidence rates, focusing on connections that are often overlooked and ignored in the debate. For the first time, data and studies are compiled here that receive little attention outside of expert circles, as they do not fit into the narrative of a policy that supposedly prioritizes the well-being and health of its citizens above all else.
