Synopsis "Science vs the Abuse of Power: How Biopolitics Dictated COVID-19 Policy"

The Covid-19 pandemic brutally precipitated us into the era of "biopower," imposing liberticidal and totalitarian measures on the grounds of purported scientific "truths." Can we possibly be in the realm of Science when debate is censored, when all criticism is discredited, even penalized and ostracized? How does the management of this crisis foreshadow future episodes? Can we still trust the health authorities?The author provides answers of which we urgently need to be aware. In her development of the concept of biopolitics, Hélène Banoun offers a coherent and constructive explanation for the overall stupifying management of this crisis. From the genesis and trajectory in the US to the COVID context in France, her impressive work cites salient examples of reprehensible decision-making instructed by WHO "best practices." She also alerts us to the fact that gain-of-function experiments on viruses are continuing and could cause the very pandemics they are supposed to prevent.In the current state of affairs, vaccine ideology legitimizes state control over individuals' lives and ensures megaprofits for vaccine manufacturers. Should we accept that public health be so reduced to a lucrative market? In this light, how are we to assess future vaccines and preventive therapies?Clearly, "Science vs the Abuse of Power" is a valuable reference for everyone seeking to remain vigilant about what biopower has in store for us. At stake is our very survival.
