Ebook: COVID-19: A Devil's Choice: How We Got Here. How We'll Get Out

Dissenting Voices—an Imprint of Abundant World Institute—is dedicated to helping create and foster the conditions that enable human flourishing and abundance everywhere. To these ends, we seek to inspire, inform, educate, encourage, enable, and support the application of critical thinking, imagination, and innovation to global challenges. Today, the COVID-19 pandemic is one global grand challenge that is on everyone's mind, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. It is a topic rife with confusion, fear, misinformation, competing agendas, and toxic politicization—all of which confound efforts at reaching anything resembling consensus on strategies and solutions. The new eBook, COVID-19: A Devil's Choice, helps us to make sense of it all. The product of intense investigations by award-winning author, technologist, and futurist, John Schroeter, the book is informed by respected medical professionals, documents provided by WHO, the CDC, and other original sources that validate the book's surprising, counterintuitive, and sometimes shocking findings. The book reveals not only the little-reported science related to the coronavirus, but the irreconcilable goals of various groups vying to capitalize on the pandemic to advance their respective objectives. Equally important, it shows that we have a choice about which version of the future will ultimately prevail, and precisely how a pandemic can be exploited to further well-meaning but misguided, or even nefarious, ends.Presented in 100 succinctly-stated arguments or “points,” A Devil's Choice illuminates the true nature of the coronavirus pandemic, who and what is behind it, what we can expect, and what we can do. The book concludes with an extensive Q&A with Jane M. Orient, M.D., executive director of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons.Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, Professor of Medicine and former Faculty Dean Continuing Education, Harvard Medical School, says, “John Schroeter has just brilliantly succeeded in [this] venture. Kudos to him for masterfully penning this. This a must read. I was most informed and inspired.” Dr. Simon Thornley, Public Health Physician, lecturer and researcher in the section of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at The University of Auckland, NZ, adds, “In this thoughtful book, John Schroeter does an excellent job of distilling the science that is not being heard. It is a much needed counter to the doomsday narrative that we've all been fed. This book gives me renewed hope for our future.” David L. Katz, MD, says of the book, “The paths to total harm minimization are illuminated by thinking past the simplistic reflexive responses, considering options both intuitive and otherwise. Well informed consensus is good; premature consensus is the death of insight.”Professor Karol Sikora, MA, PhD, concludes, “John's text illuminates the clear path forward. Let's follow the path he plots and move forward in a safe and yet ambitious way.”
