Mi aspetto che una partecipazione così massiccia finisca sulle prime pagine di tutti i quotidiani e in apertura di tutti i tg. Invece nulla. Silenzio. Perché tutta questa reticenza? Decido di indagare. La mia inchiesta parte da qui. Ma questa storia parte dal 2014, quando l'Italia è diventata la nazione capofila a livello mondiale delle strategie vaccinali.

Mit psychologischem Fachwissen, Fallbeispielen, praktischen Übungen und einem Miniprogramm für mehr psychische Gesundheit in herausfordernden Zeiten.

Early in September, 1918, the United States was invaded by a scourge of highly infectious and fatal disease, which spread with rapidity throughout the country, eventually infecting 500 million people worldwide, or about 27 percent of the world population, killing anywhere from 17 million to as many as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history. Known as Spanish Influenza, it was pandemic in its nature. No one seemed to know much about the disease or its treatment, and medical science and public health agencies were alike unprepared to cope with it.

Zu wenig Zeit für die Patienten und immer gleich Antibiotika? "Schulmedizin" hat keinen guten Ruf. Homöopathie, Akupunktur, Osteopathie & Co. hingegen sind angesagt.

Sue has been living with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) since 1985. In this very personal audiobook, she explores how MS has affected her, physically and mentally, and provides valuable advice for others in the same position.

Immune explores the incredible arsenal that lives within us - how it knows what to attack and what to defend and how it kills everything from the common cold to the plague bacterium.
