The coronavirus pandemic brings a flood of questions but few clear answers. Who to trust when there are "experts" everywhere?
Can the virus die? And how do viruses become world champions? How will the vaccination against covid-19 take place? Should we be afraid of a strong state? The coronavirus pandemic brings a flood of questions but few clear answers. Who to trust when there are "experts" everywhere? Publicist Aleš Palán decided to "believe" a man who has lived with viruses almost his entire professional life. An interview with Jan Konvalinka, a leading Czech biochemist and vice-rector of Charles University, is a trip into the world of science, deadly viruses, and unscientific rumours; behind the scenes of the coronavirus pandemic and the mistakes we made. Last but not least, we get a glimpse into the life of a boy from North Bohemia, whose insight and humour give hope that knowledge is stronger than fear. A unique audiobook interview by Aleš Palán and Jan Konvalinka is published with an appendix on the issue of vaccination and the situation at the end of 2020.
