Rezensionen

In this book, historian and podcaster Dr. Woods collects a selection of updates about COVID from his daily newsletter. This lets you see the contemporary claims from the mainstream press and public health sources and how, even then, their claims didn't track reality.

Time and time again, you see that differences in mandatory mitigation strategies (masks, avoiding large gatherings, etc.) didn't result in meaningful differences in outcomes. Every time the restrictions were lifted and so called "super spreader" events occurred, the press predicted mass death. Weeks later, when that spike in hospitalizations and deaths didn't manifest, the press was focused on the next super spreader concern and never circled back to see if their predictions were right.

This book is chock full of charts showing regional outcomes tracked each other closely, even when one county (or state) had wildly different policies than its neighbor.

For those of us that have forgotten just how bad things were, this book is a must have.

Odkedy sa písané cirkevné dejiny stali obeťou predpojatých filtrov protestantskej, osvietenskej, nacistickej, komunistickej i liberálnej historiografie, zrodila sa čierna legenda o Cirkvi. Niekedy dokonca vyvoláva dojem, že je ňou vedomie ľudí infikované definitívne a nezvratne. Lenže zápas o pravdu vo vedomí človeka začína z generácie na generáciu vždy odznova, od začiatku. Do toho zápasu vstupuje aj táto kniha, ktorá sa konečne vymaňuje z katolíckeho komplexu pseudokajúcej menejcennoti a s posvätným sebavedomím rekapituluje všetko to dobré, vznešené a ušľachtilé, čo Boh prostredníctvom Cirkvi ponúkol európskej civilizácii.… (mehr)

"Meltdown" talks about the economic downturn, market collapse, and housing bubble which burst at the end of Bush's last term. However, Woods doesn't believe that Obama will be a better steward of the economy - quite the contrary. He faults both the Republican as well as Democratic party leaders and the mainstream economic thinkers in power during both the Bush and Obama Administrations. He makes the case that bailouts and increased government spending is not the answer to our problems. Woods subscribes to the Austrian School of Economic theory, the one school of thought which claims to NOT have been caught by surprise by the economic problems starting in 2007 and peaking in early 2009. Followers of the Austrian school claim to have predicted the current crisis, and to be able to explain the on-going boom and bust cycles of our economy. Woods discusses in laymans terms the causes of the economic downturn and and what needs to be done about it. The book also points the reader to other sources of further reading to supplement your economic "enlightenment". Since the intro was written by Ron Paul, I will assume that if you liked Paul's "End the Fed", you'll enjoy this book as well.
