Dead Epidemiologists
A history of COVID-19 and the sociopolitical conditions that led to the 2020 global pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the world. It shouldn’t have. Since this century’s turn, epidemiologists have warned of new infectious diseases. Indeed, H1N1, H7N9, SARS, MERS, Ebola Makona, Zika, and a variety of lesser viruses have emerged almost annually. But what of the epidemiologists themselves? Some bravely descended into the caves where bat species hosted coronaviruses, including the strains that evolved into the COVID-19 virus. Yet, despite their own warnings, many of the researchers appear unable to understand the true nature of the disease—as if they are dead to what they’ve seen. Dead Epidemiologists is an eclectic collection of commentaries, articles, and interviews revealing the hidden-in-plain-sight truth behind the pandemic: Global capital drove the deforestation and development that exposed us to new pathogens. Rob Wallace and his colleagues—ecologists, geographers, activists, and, yes, epidemiologists—unpack the material and conceptual origins of COVID-19. From deepest Yunnan to the boardrooms of New York City, this book offers a compelling diagnosis of the roots of COVID-19, and a stark prognosis of what—without further intervention—may come.
Ungalahli Ithemba
Syringomyelia. A disease that hardly anyone knows about. Even doctors do not readily come up with this diagnosis because it is simply too rare. I had to make this bad experience for me when I was sent from one doctor to another after a car accident on the way to work with diffuse complaints. No one seems to know what is wrong with me, and worse, no one really seems to want to take me seriously. Several times I am called a malingerer by doctors and sent out the door. But my complaints are still clear: balance disorders, insensations, constant pain. Standing for long periods of time and even sitting are hardly possible for me anymore. It takes almost a whole year before the diagnosis of syringomyelia is made for the first time. Syringomyelia is a rare disease in which fluid-filled gaps («cavities») form in the spinal cord or the spinal canal widens. There is no prospect of a cure for it to date. Only physiotherapy and pain therapy are on the treatment plan. Parallel to my odyssey across the medical specialties, I have to deal with offices, professional association, insurances and authorities. Hardly anyone takes me and my complaints seriously. Health-wise, I am hardly in a position to do so, but without one's own fighting spirit, one is simply lost. With my book «Ungalahli Ithemba» I would like to encourage other people not to resign in the face of strokes of fate, but to fight for themselves and their health needs. At the same time, I would like to increase awareness of the two rare neurological diseases Chiari malformation and syringomyelia and to raise awareness. The importance of widespread education is usually demonstrated by how difficult it is to be taken seriously with physical illness and blatant pain and symptoms.
