More about the book
Examining the global response to the Covid pandemic, this book critiques the unprecedented emergency measures taken and the failures of institutions during this crisis. It questions why existing pandemic plans were ignored, how dissenting voices were marginalized, and whether the policies implemented truly served their intended purposes. The authors highlight the disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations and emphasize the need to uphold the values of liberal democracy—tolerance, open-mindedness, and respect for evidence—in future crises.
