The Great ME/CFS Scam



by Dr.Harald Wiesendanger– Klartext

Why are there many more ME/CFS patients than before the coronavirus pandemic? The evil virus is to blame, the mainstream media tells us on May 12, International Awareness Day for those affected. Is it really “long Covid”—or rather “post-vaccine”?

Leaden fatigue. Persistently exhausted even after minimal exertion, no better after sleep and rest. “Brain fog,” with poor concentration and memory, impaired word search and stimuli processing. Pain in muscles and joints, headaches, and sore throats. A feeling of flu without infection, sleep disturbances, palpitations. Hypersensitivity to light, noise, and smells. All this and more torment ME/CFS sufferers (1) incurably, rendering them unable to work and destroying their quality of life. Today, on International “Awareness Day,” mainstream media is devoting extensive attention to their plight.

But how many media outlets are questioning why there are suddenly so many?

Before the coronavirus pandemic, there were 140,000 to 310,000 in Germany, depending on the source – by 2023, the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians registered 620,000 treatment cases.

Suspected triggers include: an immune system imbalanced by viral infections such as influenza, mononucleosis, or Lyme disease; a chronic inflammatory response; mitochondrial and energy metabolism disorders; hormonal and neuroendocrine changes; environmental factors such as stress and traumatic events; and possibly even genetic predispositions. But why should these factors suddenly have a more fatal impact than before, starting in 2020?

The coronavirus is to blame, we’re told – “Long Covid” is causing more ME/CFS cases. The proof? Studies show that 5 to 11% met the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS six months after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, compared to 0.6% for non-infected individuals.

Scribblers are sweeping this under the rug: Coronavirus vaccinations can also trigger persistent ME/CFS symptoms – “PostVac” – as can be read in the package inserts. A large proportion of COVID patients were vaccinated; these vaccinations did not protect against infections and severe disease progression but rather made them more likely, as has since been shown. (2) Shouldn’t most COVID-19 cases have occurred in 2020, the first year of the pandemic, when, without a vaccine, we were still “defenseless” against the “killer germ” from Wuhan? According to cumulative case numbers from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and Wikipedia, 1.8 million COVID-19 cases were reported at that time. And from the beginning of 2021, after mass “protective” vaccinations? In 2021, there were 5.8 million, and in 2022, around 26 million.

“Fact checks” are likely to reveal in droves today: ME/CFS-like symptoms follow COVID vaccinations extremely rarely. After all, only 1,547 suspected cases had been reported to the Paul Ehrlich Institute by May 2023. With over 192 million vaccine doses administered, this corresponds to a reporting rate of less than one suspected case per 100,000 vaccinations (0.73/100,000). “Fact checkers” fail to point out possible underreporting: Only a fraction of vaccine injuries – 1% to a maximum of 5%, depending on the study – are actually recorded. When it comes to coronavirus, the number could be even lower: Why should ME/CFS sufferers or their doctors go to the time-consuming trouble of submitting a claim report when both have been told for years that the coronavirus “shots” are effective and safe, even “free of side effects,” according to the Federal Minister of Health?

Isn’t this a reasonable suspicion that a comprehensive hoax will continue on May 12, 2025, as in previous years? The attempts to downplay, cover-up, and lie continue. “Long Covid”: this is the last straw to which all those clinging who want to convince us that this unpleasant matter called vaccine side effects isn’t so bad after all. If there were no Long Covid, vaccine dogmatists would have to invent them as quickly as possible to conceal the true extent of the damage caused. Former Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, of all people, admitted to this semantic game of hide-and-seek when, at a roundtable with doctors and sufferers, he literally said about medications for chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): “These medications are reimbursed by health insurance companies for Long Covid symptoms – regardless of whether they are caused by the vaccination or the illness.” (3) Oops, slipped up. With this, Germany’s top vaccine propagandist is effectively admitting: What is referred to as “Long Covid” can indeed be a vaccine side effect. Until recently, this was considered a conspiracy theory – now it’s pouring out of the mouth of a notoriously versatile government official.

This does precious little for mislabeled vaccine victims. They continue to receive inadequate or no treatment, lose their lives, and hope in vain for recognition, compensation, and damages. How much do they gain from being exposed to public “awareness” for a day? This is not consolation but sheer mockery.

Hundreds of Covid vaccine victims, relatives, friends, and colleagues describe ME/CFS symptoms in the internet archive of www.impfopfer.info. A small selection:

“My cousin, 25, who had been injected with Biondreck three times, recently complained that he felt so depressed and had body aches as if he’d been run over. Of course, he got tested right away (there are no other illnesses anymore), and the tests were always negative. A short time later, an acquaintance (also injected at least three times), about 30, came by and complained of EXACTLY THE SAME symptoms: shortness of breath, body aches, everything felt exhausting, lack of energy, headaches…. Would never see a connection to the vaccination…” (August 29, 2022)

“I’m 52. After the second vaccination last year, I started experiencing alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease. In January, after the third vaccination, I suddenly developed long COVID symptoms. I had headaches and unexplained body aches. With every little exertion, I couldn’t breathe and had a rapid heartbeat. Some days, I couldn’t even stand up. My face became crooked. The doctor at an emergency room referred me to the neurology emergency room with suspected meningitis, which turned out not to be confirmed. There, two aneurysms were discovered by chance. One in my head was so large that a stent had to be inserted because otherwise, there was a risk of it bursting. After another four days in the hospital, I was sent to a psychologist because no cause had been found for the symptoms of body aches, headaches, dizziness, and a pulse of 120. So, according to the doctors, I can only be depressed, which the psychologist who was called in was unable to determine. Now I’m waiting for my operation. My girlfriend has been unable to work since her third vaccination on January 27th. She has high blood pressure and otherwise constantly has the same symptoms I had: exhaustion, fatigue, headaches, body aches. Some days, she can’t even walk…” (June 13, 2022)

My 23-year-old daughter, who received her second vaccination yesterday… can’t get out of bed. Severe body aches and dizziness. Zip code 97828.” (February 9, 2022)

“My girlfriend has been unable to work since her third vaccination on January 27th. She has high blood pressure and otherwise has the same symptoms I had: exhaustion, fatigue, headaches, body aches. Some days, she can’t even walk…” (June 1, 2022)

“After the booster vaccination, my mother (72) suffers from constant weakness and body aches.” (January 18, 2022)

“My mother (born in 1964) had problems with constant exhaustion after just the first vaccination. The second vaccination was well tolerated. Then she received a booster, and one day later, she developed severe exhaustion, a cold, and body aches. Two days later, she tested positive for C. She had a severe cough for two weeks. She has now experienced severe exhaustion for a total of 5.5 weeks. She has to see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist. The vaccine damage was – of course – not mentioned by ANY doctor.” (December 23, 2021)

“My cousin (42) and my cousin (40) are experiencing severe side effects (persistent headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, body aches). Nevertheless, my cousin got a booster shot and is now sick at home (even worse, headaches, fever, dizziness). She was afraid of paying any fines for the potential mandatory vaccination. Unfortunately, education isn’t helping. My cousin recently told me that he’s completely changed since the vaccination (listless, annoyed, and irritable), but he’s still considering the booster.” (December 17, 2021)

“My work colleague, in his mid-50s, asked me today if I’d also been vaccinated. He’s had severe side effects. He got his second Moderna shot in July. He says he’s felt like a wreck since then. Severe body aches all over, no strength. Severe pain in his knees and shoulders. He’s been taking painkillers for weeks.” (September 20, 2021)

“Just had a conversation with a neighbor (male, mid-40s, 2x AstraZeneca). Since the second vaccination, he’s been experiencing fatigue, body aches, and listlessness. Seems to be related to the vaccination, but hasn’t been reported.” (September 5, 2021)

“A friend of mine, a 40-year-old geriatric nurse (a fit bundle of energy), has been completely exhausted since his second vaccination. Lack of motivation, body aches, and extreme weakness…” (August 22, 2021)

“My whole family has been vaccinated, except for my 17-year-old son and me. My father, 68, has had two biotech vaccinations since then and has only been tired and, forgetting a lot and occasionally confused. My mother, 67, had one biotech vaccination, and since then, she’s only had sweating. My 22-year-old son, because he’s in geriatric care, was practically forced to do it. He’s depressed and tired. My partner, who has had one biotech vaccination, has also been tired and has zero motivation since then. Irritable.” (July 27, 2021)

“Unfortunately, I received my first Moderna vaccination and have since experienced severe symptoms such as extreme fatigue, headaches, body aches, circulatory problems, etc.” (July 14, 2021)

“Dog groomer, 60 years old; vaccinated at least three times; exhausted since then… wants to cut back on her workload soon. Her husband is also constantly tired… suspects it’s from the vaccinations.” (October 6, 2023)

“Colleague in her 50s, 3-4 BioNTech shots, multiple long-term infections, constantly tired, significant weight loss, now thyroiditis, tremors, and heart palpitations. She attributes it to stress.” (October 3, 2023)

“32-year-old woman. Constantly tired and exhausted since the vaccination. She has been vaccinated three times. Now, she’s looking for a side effect from the pill. Her doctor checked her out and couldn’t find anything. We’ve told her about the vaccination several times. She doesn’t really want to believe it.” (August 27, 2023)

“Our neighbor, 80, suddenly and unexpectedly stopped waking up. He had been vaccinated at least three times, and then for six months, he was just tired and weak; the doctors couldn’t find anything. His last words: Maybe it has something to do with the vaccinations after all.” (August 25, 2023)

“Woman, about 45 years old, healthy, athletic, received one BioNTech vaccine. Didn’t want one, but her job eventually made her give in. She had severe headaches and went to the hospital; her intracranial pressure was way too high. She asked if it was due to the vaccination, but the doctor just nodded. All she’s left with are recurring headaches, forgetfulness, and a lack of energy—always tired.” (August 22, 2023)

“34-year-old looks 50. Has had three injections: one AstraZeneca vaccine, two BioNTech vaccines. Since the injections, extreme difficulty swallowing. Tired, exhausted, weak. For over a year.” (August 13, 2023)

“Colleague (4 injections) in his mid-50s has been having health problems for some time now. Exhausted, tired, listless, loss of appetite.” (August 10, 2023)

“Former colleague vaccinated three times with BioNTech out of conviction. Now, she’s taking early retirement. She’s constantly tired and exhausted, has poor memory, numbness, and is completely powerless. The doctors say it’s due to her coronavirus infection. She believes it.” (October 13, 2023)

“Colleague, mid-40s, radiantly fun-loving, healthy. Collapsed the next day after the first AstraZeneca shot, unable to walk for six weeks. Rheumatism broke out, which, according to her family doctor and rheumatologist, was clearly due to the vaccination. Claims for state benefits due to vaccine damage were rejected!!! Too worn out to continue fighting for compensation. Always tired, barely managing her work (part-time), barely able to plan any other activities on the side. At first, she didn’t want to get vaccinated, but then gave in to the general pressure.” (August 6, 2023)
