Max Planck Institute is nothing to sneeze at. One of my chemistry professors was from there.
Dr. Bhakdi is qualified to make the statements he does in his videos.
People who do not take the trouble to check his background, misjudge his presentation. He is trying to be as simple as possible in order to reach the general public. He explained this approach in his earliest videos at the start of the pandemic where he recounted that his wife, who is a biologist, could not sleep at night because she was so upset at all the misinformation being given to the German public about the virus. He said to her, well, let’s do something about it then. So that’s how they started making UTube presentations until they were banned. He has been kicked off quite a few media sights, I think because he is obviously earnest and after people read his background, very credible. He and his wife also wrote a best selling book, CORONA: FALSE ALARM? FACTS AND FIGURES. It has been translated from the German and is available on Amazon.
Yes, Max Planck is not a lightweight place.
