Background journalism instead of court reporting. Independent. Uncomfortable. Incorruptible.
When, if not now?
First Great Britain. Then Denmark. Now Norway too. In Europe, more and more countries are lifting all corona restrictions. Sweden did not even copy Red China’s hygiene staging of Wuhan, which tends to fall under the category of “ruse of war.” But a “Freedom Day” in Germany? For the time being, by no means, objectors dismiss for a dozen allegedly most serious reasons. Who else can understand them? Is Corona “raging” between Flensburg and Passau much more terribly than elsewhere, where freedom is possible without disaster?
Is Corona “raging” worse in Berlin than in Stockholm or London, in Amsterdam, Copenhagen or Oslo – so bad that we have to be withheld for the time being freedoms granted by neighboring countries, and apparently with impunity? Isn’t it rather chronic misgivings of the Lauterbach / Drosten / Wieler faction, loud “Covid-Heulbojen” – Oskar Lafontaine – who are raging worse in the Federal Republic than elsewhere, encouraged by an unsurpassable patient people who simply do not want to stop to be chased into the proverbial “German fear”? How can it be that more and more European countries are celebrating their “Freedom Day” while in this country, even doctors’ representatives risk media execution as soon as they dare to suggest something like that?
From now on: Norway is back to everyday life
Last Saturday, September 25, at 4 p.m. sharp, Norway suddenly stopped being driven crazy by aerosols of human origin: It canceled almost all corona measures. Masks were dropped en masse; the previous one-meter distance rule is suddenly ignored callously. Nobody has to show tests or vaccination certificates. No more disease protection requirements limit events and gatherings. And so cinemas, theaters, and museums were able to reopen without restrictions. In Oslo and other cities, tens of thousands laughed, chatted, and danced. Cafés and inns were full. Cheerful songs rang out from long queues in front of bars and discos. Parties everywhere. Under the northern lights in the starry sky, people celebrated their return to everyday life until the early hours of the morning, as if relieved from a nightmare. If that is too early, too dangerous for you, you just don’t go along with it; distance yourself and continue to mask yourself.
“It has been 561 days since we introduced the toughest measures in peacetime,” said Prime Minister Erna Solberg at a press conference the day before. “Now is the time to return to normal everyday life.” (1)
Thus, Norway no longer requires companies to take social distancing measures. It also allows sports and cultural facilities as well as restaurants to use their total capacity. Night clubs are also allowed to reopen.
So far, Solberg had implemented the first three steps of a four-step plan to lift the social and economic restrictions imposed since March 2020 but postponed the last step several times out of concern about infection rates.
“We have lived for a long time with strict measures at the borders. That was important to combat imported infections. If we now go back to normal everyday life, the government proposes a gradual relaxation of the entry restrictions. And this will be done under strict surveillance,” Justice and Civil Protection Minister Monica Mæland said in a statement posted on the government website.
“In short, we can live normally now,” said Solberg.
The virus can now be viewed as a trigger “one of several respiratory diseases with seasonal fluctuations,” said Geir Bukholm, the Norwegian Institute for Public Health deputy director. Initially, Norway classified Covid-19 as a generally dangerous disease; but this official classification could soon change, he said. “We are now in a new phase. This is because the vast majority of people at risk are protected,” said Bukholm, referring to the ongoing vaccination campaign. According to the Norwegian Public Health Institute, around 67% of the population is fully vaccinated.
Unrestricted entry will be re-allowed from at least some countries, including across the EU and the UK. As far as conditions persist, they should gradually fall.
“Freedom Day” – England as a pioneer
England made the beginning: on July 19, 2021, almost all state corona measures suddenly came to an end. (See CLEAR TEXT: “Are the English crazy?”) “When, if not now?” Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked at a virtual press conference. Personal responsibility instead of regulations – that was the motto from then on. Wearing a mask is now as good as anywhere in England voluntary, as is keeping your distance. There are no longer any restrictions on clubs or private parties. Theaters and cinemas are also allowed to occupy their halls fully. Meetings are allowed again with no upper limits.
Nevertheless, the Foreign Office continues to warn “against unnecessary tourist trips,” among other things, because of “impairments to public life.” It still classifies the UK as a “high-risk area.” (2) Quite rightly – because staying there carries a huge risk: Gathering impressions that prove Germany’s lateral thinkers correct.
Denmark followed
As early as April, Denmark had gradually relaxed corona restrictions, and on September 10, they fell completely. (3) On June 14, the mask requirement, which had applied nationwide since August 22, 2020, ended there. On September 10, the parliament in Copenhagen decided to no longer classify Covid-19 as a “critical threat to society” but merely as a “dangerous” infectious disease. Proof of vaccination, recovery, or negative test is no longer required there, not even at major events with tens of thousands of participants. If the infection situation is similar to Germany’s, our northern neighbor begins to live with the virus. It also tolerates higher incidences and is based on the actual burden of disease. The pandemic is not over but “under control,” said Danish Health Minister Magnus Heunicke.
Sweden’s unique route has proven itself
Sweden had refused from the beginning to accept the worldwide lockdown fetishism, fueled by a suspicious epidemic staging by the Communist Party of China (4) and prematurely proclaimed a global model by the WHO. Schools, shops, and businesses remained open, and at no time was there a mask requirement. Other corona rules, such as keeping your distance, were more recommendations than commandments, addressed to responsible, responsible citizens who prefer to take care of themselves instead of being tamed by an overprotective state. Social life remained largely untouched.
Was that why the apocalypse hit Sweden? Overall mortality remained at the level of strong seasonal flu waves. In 2020, the under-65 mortality rate undercut the five-year average despite Covid. The average age of Covid deaths in Sweden is 84 to 85 years. As of June 2020, Sweden had a below-average overall mortality rate. Covid hospital admissions and deaths are close to zero. Sweden’s Covid mortality rate remained below the European and US averages through the summer of 2021. Sweden has one of the poorest intensive care bed capacities in Europe, twice less than Italy and five times less than Germany.
In the first week of September, Sweden announced that it would lift the few remaining corona restrictions for public facilities. Such as restaurants and theaters on September 29, as well as for meetings and events with several thousand participants: “This means that the organizer is not obliged to limit the number of participants in premises, restricted areas or rooms that are available to him, “the government said in a statement.
So why not “Freedom Day” in Germany?
Have corona deniers, conspiracy theorists, and aluminum hat wearers taken the helm from London to Stockholm, from Oslo to Copenhagen? Are you hitting your health systems at full steam? And what about Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and most of the other countries in Eastern Europe, which de facto have also ended all Corona measures? (See CLEAR TEXT: “As if sunk in the sea.”) Are the crematoria in Budapest, Bucharest, and Sofia now overburdened and the cemeteries overcrowded?
It must finally be “an end to horror rhetoric and panic policy!”, Said the deputy head of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), Stephan Hofmeister, to the daily newspaper Die Welt in mid-September. “If compulsory vaccination is not wanted – and I do not want it either – then there is only one political alternative: the lifting of all state-imposed restrictions.” Because everyone in Germany now has access to the vaccine, the responsibility for their own health lies with the individual and no longer with the state.
The next day KBV boss Andreas Gassen joined his deputy. “After the experience from Great Britain, we should also have the courage to do what has worked on the island,” he told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung. “The health system there has not collapsed.” That should give courage, especially since the German health system is much more efficient and can treat more seriously ill people. In Great Britain, more infections were knowingly allowed. That was definitely “brisk,” the current situation there is Supporters of “Freedom Day” are correct, however.
So now we need a clear statement from politicians: We will also have Freedom Day in six weeks! All restrictions will be lifted on October 30!” For a year and a half, so lamented Gassen, Corona policy has been following the line of “caution, caution, caution.” There is a “German fear”, and one has “probably been exposed to an illusion of control for far too long. That is why the change, of course, is all the more difficult for some”. Without the announcement of a “day of freedom”, Germany would drag itself through the pandemic endlessly. “Corona will not go away – we must finally learn to live with this virus,” Gassen added to Focus Online. “Not 3G or 2G – we finally need an exit strategy.” For those who still do not want to be vaccinated, there is always a residual risk of ending up in the intensive care unit because previous illnesses have not been discovered that lead to severe courses in a corona infection. “But it is not the job of the state to protect everyone from it when enough vaccine has long been available,” Gassen pointed out.
Spahn’s broken word – for how many times?
The doctors’ representatives only took up what the Chancellery and two cabinet members had previously promised.” If we have given everyone in Germany a vaccination offer, then we can return to normal in all areas. And all restrictions will fall”, promised Chancellery Minister Helge Braun on March 6. “Those who do not take up their vaccination offer make their individual decision that they accept the risk of the disease. After that, however, we can no longer justify any restriction of the fundamental rights of another. “(5) But what does he care about his chatter from yesterday?
“If everyone in Germany has a vaccination offer, there is no longer any legal or political justification for any restriction.” Foreign Minister Heiko Maas was also unequivocally in favor of a speedy end to the corona measures at the beginning of July.
Health Minister Jens Spahn blew the same horn a month later. On August 4, at a special meeting of the Bundestag’s health committee, he spoke out against extending the pandemic emergency that expired at the end of September “of national scope.” He regards their expiry as a “political signal.” Should further measures be necessary afterward, these could be decided at the state level. (6)
But how strange: Spahn never struck such notes again afterward. On the contrary, parliament extended, operated, welcomed, and justified the “emergency” three weeks later without being embarrassed. After all, “the pandemic is not over yet.” Further measures are needed, especially as long as there are still so many unvaccinated people. The aim remains to avoid overloading the health system. And to get through the fourth corona wave safely, a higher vaccination rate is also required.
Who or what caused Spahn to turn around? Did the Chancellor whistle him back? Whose advice was it that led them to do so? No mainstream medium followed suit about this, and none made the slightest effort to put the federal government in trouble.
And so, an impressive list of broken promises was extended once again. The first thing to do was “to flatten the curve.” When all the relevant curves had not just flattened but plunged steeply, the R-value had to drop below 1 first. He did that before the first lockdown began – but now the incidence was too high. It has to be below 50, better 35, even better 20; the ideal would be zero. For a sunny summer 2020, the value was in the single digits; only a multiplication of tests saved it from falling even more embarrassingly than the expected false-positive rate anyway.
Then autumn was approaching, with which the “overloading of the health system,” which had already affected all available pubic hair in the “first wave,” would certainly break through Germany this time. However, while public health was still perfect, a series of other lockdowns – “easy” and “hard,” “breakwaters” and “emergency brakes” – did not in the least prevent the incidence from rising again temporarily, no differently than in places of freedom, from Sweden to US states like South Dakota, Florida and Texas. And to dramatize the situation, the mutant horror began at the end of 2020 – as if the Wuhan virus had not spawned thousands of successors before it itself disappeared from the scene.
First, the British variant had to be survived, then the Indian “Delta.” Both indeed proved to be as highly infectious as they are relatively harmless. (7) But who knows what horrible mutants will befall us next? Only a vaccination, you alone, can save the population from being “defenseless.” But as soon as everyone has “been offered a vaccination,” it was time to end state hygiene dictates, it was said. Oh no, at first, at least four-fifths of all Germans must have accepted the “offer.” And since too many hesitate, it was a matter of designing thumbscrews and letting them work, which should compel even the most covidial vaccinator to get injected “voluntarily.”
And so, a panic virus-infected republic holds on to a state of emergency conjured up utilizing unreliable tests, hair-raising redefinitions, and statistical tricks. In truth, it has never met an emergency that would have given rise to alarmism. It indeed does not exist a year and a half after the start of P (l) andemia. And detached from clinical facts, it is now exhausted in the difference between the desired and achieved recruitment of guinea pigs for biotechnological mass experiments in the pharmaceutical industry. Freedom Day cannot come soon enough to end this scandal.
Shitstorm instead of deliberate, deliberate discussion
Nevertheless, a storm of indignation promptly broke out over the two courageous medical officials. Her initiative (RND / Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland) is “poorly thought out,” it “comes too early” (Süddeutsche) and “is at the expense of the weakest” (Aachener Zeitung). She was called “dubious” by the deputy chairman of the SPD parliamentary group, Bärbel Bas; “Still too reckless” she appeared to Lower Saxony’s Minister of Health Daniela Behrens (SPD).
The chronically worried Karl Lauterbach (SPD), who one and a half years after the start of the pandemic, only the initiated still suspect how he came to his pope-like expert status, found her proposal to be “ethically unjustifiable.” Amazingly, Lauterbach’s ethics, on the other hand, has plenty of room for destructive lockdowns, unvalidated compulsory tests, disproportionate deprivation of liberty, character assassination of critics of measures. And a mass experiment with novel, untested pseudo-vaccines that turn us into two-legged GMOs, genetically modified organisms.
Another pseudo-expert, the official Green health expert Janosch Dahmen, condemned the move as “cynical.” He had already proven the level of his expertise, which is challenging to undercut, by claiming that the only alternative to the Covid vaccination is to be “without any form of immunity.” The fact that such an embarrassing talker, son of a family doctor, studied human medicine and worked for many years as a specialist and senior physician shows how much is wrong in medical education and training.
Justification emergency instead of epidemic emergency
Is the need in Germany particularly great? Is the Federal Republic rightly hesitating because the corona crisis hit it much worse than Europe’s “Freedom” faction? What compelling arguments speak against finally releasing the Germans from the yoke of the dictatorship of hygiene? I found ten excuses. KLARTEXT readers, please submit further finds here.
“The incidences are still too high for us.” Rubbish. In Great Britain, they are significantly higher. Astonishingly, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was no longer deterred by this, as well as by horror forecasts of exploding case numbers, unlike until a few months ago. This time, he was pretty relaxed about the fact that lockdown fetishists would let a shit storm break in on him, as expected. It apparently dawned on him, better late than never: Even if all 54 million English people were 100% test-positive, they could enjoy the best of health because the fact that they host billions of microbes is fully compatible with freedom from symptoms.
Daily new corona cases (positive PCR test) per 1 million residents
“An overload of the health system cannot be ruled out.” Coronics have never been able to do that – but it did not even begin to occur, and certainly not worse than in some previous flu winters. The English should have had such fears, given their ailing hospital system, in which not two bedrooms but still dormitories are the rule, with curtains around the beds. In comparison, German clinics are far better equipped. With around 600 acute beds per 100,000 inhabitants, the Federal Republic of Germany is the best in Europe; Denmark has about 270, the United Kingdom 210. The lead-in intensive care beds is even more impressive: 38.2 per 100,000 inhabitants are available in Germany, but only 10.5 in England – well below the EU average of 13. 1 -, in Denmark 7.8, in Sweden only 5.8. (8th)
Covid-cases per week in the hospital per 1 million residents
Daily new Covid – cases on intensive care units per 1 million residents
For comparison: German hospitals admitted just 15.8 inpatients per 1 million inhabitants on September 24, 2021, “with or because of” SARS-CoV-2. Since the number of hospitalized “Covid-19 cases” reached a spring high of almost 8,000 in the third week of April, the fall curve has plummeted – to around 350 in June and July. It has risen since August – to over 515 by the end of September – but far from previous record levels. The following graphic can be found in the “Weekly Covid-19 Management Report” of the RKI from September 23, p. 10. Does this look like a critical escalation?
Presentation of Covid -19 – cases and proportion of those who have died as well as proportion of those hospitalized, based on the number with information on hospitalization over a year, in MW 38/2020 – MW 37/2020 (data status 09/22/2021; 0.00 o’clock
Presentation of Covid -19 – cases and proportion of those who have died as well as proportion of those hospitalized, based on the number with information on hospitalization over a year, in MW 38/2020 – MW 37/2020 (data status 09/22/2021; 0.00 o’clock
Does the federal government actually still assume “that the health system will be overloaded in the foreseeable future?” Then Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) asked in a written question. In mid-August, this could “not be ruled out in every conceivable scenario,” said Health Minister Sabine Weiss. (9)
Kubicki is stunned: “With this, the federal government is leaving the framework that it itself had written in the Infection Protection Act for the determination and continued validity of the epidemic situation of national scope because for this there must be a serious danger ‘for public health. The “conceivable danger” is not enough. “Are constitutional judges who do not intervene here at the latest not a case for the protection of the constitution? Karlsruhe is now much more effective for the “delegitimization of the rule of law,” which is accused of lateral thinkers.
The nursing staff is already working “at the limit,” complains the President of the Professional Association of Nursing Professions (DBfK), which is why she finds the advance of the health insurance physicians “irresponsible.” Has she forgotten that there was a shortage of staff in the care sector even before Corona? Even during the crisis, jobs were cut instead of increased.
The German Foundation for Patient Protection board, Eugen Brysch, argues in a similarly absurd manner. “When you look into the doctor’s offices, hospitals and nursing homes,” “Freedom Day” pleadings turn out to be “lively slogans,” he says. How often, how thoroughly did Brysch himself cast such a “look” there? Where did the gate to “Corona hell” open to him? Every personnel, technical or financial bottleneck that his eagle eye may have spotted has not brought about a bad killer germ, but a grotesquely flawed health policy.
“The particularly dangerous Delta variant is still rampant.” It has been doing this since spring 2021: While it only appeared in 2% of all test samples in February, it was already every second in April; from summer onwards, their share was 90 to 98%. Therefore, strict entry requirements and border controls to prevent delta entries are at least as ridiculous as piling sandbags in front of the doors and windows of houses that are already under water up to the roof.
Despite all the horror of mutants, the Indian delta B.1.617.2 by no means resulted in noticeably more seriously ill and dead people – just as little as the British Alpha B.1.1.7 and the South African Beta B.1.351 before. Every new viral sow driven through the media village with mighty bohei was more toothless than its predecessor.
New Covid 19 deaths every day (died of or with SARS CoV 2) per 1 million residentss
“We are about to have a fourth wave,” said Erwin Rüddel (CDU), who is still chairman of the German Bundestag’s health committee, a week before the general election. The danger is growing, especially as the colder seasons are approaching when people spend more time indoors. And this inevitably increases the risk of infection.
Even worse, Mr. Rüddel: There is a risk of a “permanent wave”, as the occasionally level-headed virologist Hendrik Streeck points out, an often sympathetically unagitated anti-drosten. Why should SARS-CoV-2 behave differently from other coronaviruses, contributing to 10 to 15% of flu cases each winter? And as an epidemiological marmot, doesn’t influenza greet you every year with a recombined genome?
“We may have other variants ahead of us that also cause for concern.” That is how it will come, for sure. And because a wealth of variants is part of the essence of all viruses. Constructing Hollywood-style horror scenarios from this turns infection protection into a never-ending story. Apart from Big Pharma, bio-fascists, Beijing’s communists, and other pandemic profiteers, who wants that?
“If no new virus variant emerges against which a vaccination does not protect, which is very unlikely, then we will have overcome the pandemic in spring 2022 and can return to normal,” said Spahn of the Augsburger Allgemeine. In doing so, the trained banker is actually destroying the hope that the hygiene dictatorship will ever end: It is already clear that the Covid vaccination protection if it exists at all, wears off after a few weeks. Of course, new variants will keep appearing, as is the case with influenza. Without boosters, “refreshments,” vaccination is soon for the cat. Why else is the flu vaccination blown every year?
Suppose Bremen’s Senator for Health, Claudia Bernhard (Linke), misses a “serious guarantee” that “we have the situation under control over the long term”. In that case, she will have to wait longer than her biological best-before date gives. Should we spend the rest of our lives wailing and clattering our teeth to wait for the horrors of the 1001st omega-high-ten variant before we dare to “loosen it up”? If not now, then never. It would be better if we trust a proven evolutionary biological law: Viruses want to multiply. To do this, they have to be contagious – but not kill their host because that would be their own end. Viruses, therefore, tend to become more and more infectious, but at the same time, less and less pathogenic and fatal.
“The long-term consequences of Covid disease – especially in children – are not yet known,” said the Federal Managing Director of the Child Protection Association, Daniel Grein. That is why it is “cynical to want to expose children to this risk in an uncontrolled manner” Exposing Grein to the risk of isolation, masking, distancing, and unproven vaccines does not seem to give Grein a headache. If “not yet known long-term effects” argue against using the untested novel vaccines hastily – in every age group, but especially in children, SARS -CoV-2 Least Endangered?
It is time that the needs and rights of children were brought more into focus and that the supposedly regained freedom of adults was not celebrated on their backs, according to Grein. Don’t the needs and rights of children instead require them to celebrate a regained freedom?
“Most doctors in private practice contradict those willing to relax,” – which only proves that the extensive media disinformation also clouded the doctors’ view of the actual risk situation.
“The vaccination rate is still too low.” Before Germany can be “opened”, “community immunity” must be established, explains Chancellor Helge Braun. That is “above 80%” – and can allegedly only be injected. At least 85% of the population must be vaccinated, so demands Karl Lauterbach; 2G must apply until then. Among the over 60-year-olds, it would even need a vaccination rate of well over 90%, it sounds from the medicine megaphone of the Greens, Janosch Dahmen.
An 85% vaccination coverage of all Germans is entirely unrealistic. The population of 83 million includes nine million children under the age of 12 – 11% of the population. No common Covid vaccine has yet been approved for them, and hopefully, it will stay that way. In addition, there are 10 to 15% objectors for whom any “persuasion” is for the cat from the outset, even if they accept vaccinations across the board; it would take brute force to put a syringe in their arms. Not to mention several million who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons, such as allergies. There are also contraindications depending on the vaccine, such as an increased risk of thrombosis or edema.
If you add up the population proportions of these three groups, it becomes immediately apparent: Vaccination quotas, such as the political Berlin is striving for, are illusory.
Or has the target value possibly already been reached? At the end of September, the official statistics of the Robert Koch Institute listed 67.6% simply vaccinated, 63.7% were therefore fully vaccinated. (10) These figures result from the so-called digital vaccination quota monitoring (DIM), which includes reports from vaccination centers, hospitals, mobile vaccination teams, company doctors, general practitioners, and private doctors. In addition, the RKI carries out another survey called COVIMO; it calculates vaccination rates based on telephone surveys. The most recent COVIMO, from late June to mid-July, recorded 1005 adults. Even then, the proportion of those vaccinated was “a lot higher,” as the RKI had to admit. A “certain discrepancy” was particularly pronounced in the age group of 18 to 59-year-olds: While 79% stated in the survey that they were vaccinated, it was only 59% at the time, according to DIM.
A similar picture emerged in mid-August by Infratest dimap in cooperation with the German Institute for Economic Research: The first vaccination rate for 18 to 59-year-olds was 16% higher than the RKI indicates, namely 75%. That is around five million people more than officially registered.
A further representative survey carried out by the Hamburg-based market research company on August 12th, and 13th among 3,000 Germans revealed a little less, 72% of those vaccinated for the first time.
An “under-recording” in the reporting system is quite possible, so it has “a certain uncertainty,” as the RKI weighed (11) – with which it confirmed the data fraud.
And so the figures scattered by government representatives, “experts,” and the media are strongly suspected of being deliberately set too low – perhaps to produce alibis to prolong the supposed emergency. Germany has probably already cracked the 80% mark today.
But even a lower value would not be a reason to postpone Germany’s liberation until the never-ending day. The British (71%) and Danes (77%), Swedes (70%), and Norwegians (75%) are by no means far more imposingly vaccinated than Germany (67%). Nevertheless, they see themselves in a position to restore free and democratic fundamental rights. In Great Britain, the rate of at least once vaccinated on July 19, “Freedom Day,” was 68% – a single percentage point above Germany’s current value. (12) Why can advanced vaccination campaigns on the other side of the Baltic Sea and the English Channel put an end to hygiene terror without the beginning of an apocalypse of Lauterbach proportions, while every poke of redemption continues to bring us closer to redemption by just a few nanometers?
Proportion of vaccinated (at least 1 dose)
In addition: How can a responsible health policy strive for general vaccination goals, regardless of the risk situation, in general, and for different population groups, for other individuals in a particular state of health? Whether 3G, 2G, or 1G: Vaccination has become an end in itself, and its enforcement by emergency ordinances is an unparalleled constitutional scandal. In the meantime, it is essential to get the hell out of it, although it is becoming more and more questionable why. Ideally, 100% of vaccinations, which are always risky, should be given if 95% of all infected people have no symptoms at all or only cold-like symptoms, and 99.87% survive, even 99.9% if they are under 60 and 99.99% if they have not yet reached adulthood? The younger the vaccinated, the more likely they will suffer and die from the syringe than from Covid.
And why should that 10%, maybe even 20 to 30% of the population get vaccinated who, thanks to a survived SARS-CoV-2 infection or previous contact with related coronaviruses, have already acquired a natural immunity that protects by far better than any Syringe? Why doesn’t the vaccination campaign exclude you from the start?
Instead, why does not finally happen what badly slandered experts like Wolfgang Wodarg, Sucharit Bhakdi, and Stefan Hockertz demanded from the start: protect the risk groups, leave the rest alone, isolate alarmists? And why did authorities suppress promising alternatives to vaccination from the start – from ivermectin and HCQ to vitamin D plus zinc to atomized hydrogen peroxide, antiviral mouth / nasal washes, and high-quality air filters – instead of giving them a real chance? Even the notorious bogey “Long Covid” could be banished without needing injections, preventively and therapeutically.
At the height of hypocrisy
“The population rejects easing.” Indeed, it continues to do so, with a clear majority. “Should all restrictions to combat the corona pandemic be lifted in Germany now?” Asked the opinion research institute YouGov on behalf of the German press agency. 61% reject this: 33 percent “categorically”, 28% answered “somewhat”. Not even one in five is “decided” in favor of repeal; another 14% tend to do so.
Politicians and the media who justify corona requirements with such figures have reached the peak of hypocrisy. Their disproportionate scare tactics around the clock created a grotesquely distorted perception of risk in the first place; this, in turn, gave rise to an excessive need for protection.
“Covidiots” seem to question whether the protection offered is at all suitable to satisfy the need. Governments are apparently not doing it – even in the 20th month of the pandemic, they are not just “on sight”, but flying blind. “BT 19/31348” stands for an unmasking document of complete ignorance that was created at the beginning of July 2021 in response to a request from the FDP parliamentary group. She dared to inquire: “For which of the protective measures implemented since the beginning of the corona pandemic is there scientific knowledge about [their] effectiveness?” And “What is the Federal Government doing to evaluate the effectiveness of the individual protective measures?”
No idea of anything
The seven-page information from the grand coalition stunned me. In a nutshell: “We have no idea about anything.” On July 29, Bild aptly commented: “What have the sometimes drastic encroachments on fundamental rights and anti-corona measures such as lockdown, safety distances, and masks actually brought about?” And which scientific ones Are there any findings? – None, because »the federal government doesn’t know itself! (…) Instead of facts, the Ministry of Health replied with nested endless sentences. “
Here is a sample: »Due to the› context-specific ‹interplay of a› vast number of variables ‹, it is not possible to› quantify the impact of individual measures on an indicator (e.g., incidence) in a reliable and generalized manner and to compare them between countries ‹ To explain one’s own ignorance, the paper from Spahn’s ministry refers to “multifactorial relationships” which could also be “a possible explanation for the variations in the effectiveness of individual measures between different regions or countries.” Despite the lack of data and scientific knowledge, it is optimistic that the “evidence” clearly shows “that it is always the implementation of several simultaneous measures” that “affects the course of the pandemic.” Because the “sum of the protective measures” would “bring about” the decrease in infections.
Such a swirl triggers irony reflexes from the journalist Gregor Amelung (pseudonym of an occasional employee at reitschuster.de): “One can only hope that the authors of the paper will never work in the field of cooking recipes because then it would be called lasagna. The ‘multifactorial relationships’ when preparing sauce and dough are a »possible explanation for the variations« in the taste. “
However, the hygiene regime can save itself the toil of conscientious research into measures, provided it follows a foreign agenda. Why does a government need evidence that lockdowns, masks, compulsory tests, travel and assembly bans, schools, and business closings protect against infection, as long as one thing is sure: that the pressure that such harassment builds up makes it easier to poke through the population? Why does Berlin need to know why all this has to be when she can ask Big Pharma, the Gates Foundation, and their WHO puppet at any time? To say it with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: “Thank you, Bill, for leadership!”
Do you have to “think outside the box” to understand how pathetically unfounded the no to a German “Freedom Day” is? Thinking for yourself is more than enough. If this is still difficult, it is best to book an educational leave in Sweden, England, Denmark, or Norway as soon as possible. Everywhere there, the weather is usually cooler, rainier, and windier than in this country. In a non-meteorological sense, which is much more critical to nostalgics like me, you receive a warmth there that you sorely miss in the shock-frozen social climate of Merkelland. So let’s go there.
