Description
The COVID-19 Pandemic: A Global High-Tech Challenge at the Interface of Science, Politics, and Illusions discusses COVID-19 from a historical basis. Many of today’s key decisions are based on flawed assumptions and blind spots, including the belief that healthcare institutions, researchers and authorities are driven by patients’ interests, while industry is greedy. Examples include the US Operation Warp Speed to expedite the development of tools against the pandemic, the EU’s inability to establish a working relationship with vaccine developers, and the success stories of countries such as Israel and Taiwan. This book offers scientists and interested persons orientation and helps to decipher statements from governments and authorities. It will help professionals involved in the approval, planning, implementation and evaluation of COVID-19 studies to distinguish meaningful from pointless. Analyzes key features of the pandemic on the historical background of mankind’s development from hunters and gatherers to modern civilization Opens eyes to the self-interests of institutions and professional associations and resulting conflicts of interest Helps healthcare professionals address critical questions
