The 93-page report is in German. The biggest points are summarized here.
One salient point:
“The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress (including the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation).
“Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18.
“The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm.
This is very blunt language. It’s no comfort to those who fought and are fighting the disease and to those whose loved ones have passed. Nonetheless, such an evaluation is necessary if we are to avoid future such blunders by governments and public health officials.
Lockdowns need to be ended immediately. No vaccine should be rushed into production. No vaccine should be mandatory. We should not be thinking that we have an endless battle against this new virus that requires special measures that terminate our liberties, anymore than is the case with many other diseases.
