Ergebnis für "Virus" in Wissenschaft & Technik

SARS­CoV­2 hält seit über zwei Jahren die Welt in Atem. Doch wo liegt der Ursprung des Virus und wie genau ist es entstanden? Wie ein Krimi ­nal kommissar hat sich der erfahrene Molekular­biologe Günter Theißen auf Spurensuche begeben und seit Anbeginn der Pandemie alle verfügbaren Fakten zusammenge tragen. Schon bald musste er jedoch feststellen, dass sich die Mehrzahl der Fachleute und ein Großteil der Medien auf eine rein natürliche Entstehung des Virus festgelegt haben—ohne hieb­ und stichfeste Beweise! Warum besteht so wenig Interesse daran, die Wahrheit zu erfahren?

The population is terrified by reports of so-called COVID-19, measles, swine flu, SARS, BSE, AIDS, or polio. However, the authors of "Virus Mania", investigative journalist Torsten Engelbrecht, Dr. Claus Köhnlein, MD, Dr. Samantha Bailey, MD, and Dr. Stefano Scoglio, BSc PhD, show that this fearmongering is unfounded and that virus mayhem ignores basic scientific facts: The existence, the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven.

Redensarten zeugen davon, wie tief sich tödliche Epidemien in das kollektive Gedächtnis der Menschheit eingegraben haben: "Etwas hassen, wie die Pest", "die Wahl zwischen Pest und Cholera haben", "jemandem die Pest an den Hals wünschen". Zumindest für unsere geographischen Breiten haben weder Pest noch Cholera aktuelle Relevanz. Es gab aber eine Zeit, da waren diese Krankheiten gleichbedeutend mit einem ständig drohenden massenhaften Tod.

Despite advances in health care, infectious microbes continue to be a formidable adversary to scientists and doctors. Vaccines and antibiotics, the mainstays of modern medicine, have not been able to conquer infectious microbes because of their amazing ability to adapt, evolve, and spread to new places. Terrorism aside, one of the greatest dangers from infectious disease we face today is from a massive outbreak of drug-resistant microbes.

The enormous human and economic toll of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 disease offers a vivid reminder that infectious disease pandemics are one of the greatest existential threats to humanity. This book provides an accessible explanation of how viruses emerge to cause pandemics, how our immune system combats them, and how diagnostic tests, vaccines, and antiviral therapies work - concepts that are a foundation for our public health policies.

Mark Gober dives into fundamental beliefs about health and disease. These beliefs are so fundamental, in fact, that most of us probably haven’t thought to question them. For example, do bacteria cause disease, or are they part of the body’s cleanup crew that appears at the scene of an underlying toxicity or injury? Do researchers follow the scientific method when they claim to isolate viruses and show that they cause disease in their hosts? In addition to exploring these essential questions, Gober goes a layer deeper by examining the nature of consciousness.

In 2020, an invisible germ - a virus - wholly upended our lives. We're most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or Covid-19. But viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees. Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in deep caves miles underground.
