The original article is in German, an English summary is given here:
https://blogestrenos.com/german-ministry-hired-scientists-to-induce-corona-fear/
At the beginning of last year, the German Ministry of the Interno worked with several scientists on a strategy to increase fear of corona in order to foster understanding for drastic corona measures. The newspaper Die Welt reports this on the basis of a leaked email exchange.
Minister of the Interno Seehofer and the scientists involved have so far not responded. Opposition parties demand clarification.
The emails date from March and April 2020, when Germany was in the first lockdown. Seehofer was concerned about easing too quickly and instructed his State Secretary Markus Kerber to come up with a plan to create support for stricter measures.
Kerber sent an email to various scientists, universities and research institutes asking, among other things, for a worst-case scenario to get a “mental and systematic” grip on the situation. This would help to plan “measures of a preventive and repressive nature”.
The scientists provided plenty of suggestions, including proposals to put “fear and obedience in the population” on the agenda, writes Die Welt. For this purpose, campaigns could be used with images of people dying of breathlessness because there are no IC beds available.
Warnings for millions of deaths Seriously, scientists “negotiated” among themselves about the possible death toll that should be mentioned. The RKI, the German RIVM, proposed to work with their estimate of 0.56 percent of the infected persons, but an employee of the RWI, an influential economic research institute, argued for the death rate of 1.2 percent.
He wrote that they should think “from the purpose of the model”, which is to emphasize “a lot of pressure to act” and therefore present the numbers “better worse than too good”.
Both mortality rates are included in the Ministry’s final strategy document. For the worst-case scenario, they used the percentage suggested by the RWI. If the government does not act, 70 percent of the population could become infected and the death toll could run into the millions, Seehofer warned several times at the time.
The emails were meant to be kept secret. They were released after months of proceedings from a Berlin group of lawyers, who sent them to Die Welt. The names of scientists have been made illegible in the emails. It is clear that Lothar Wieler, the boss of the RKI, was involved in the email exchange. The RKI does not want to say anything about it, because it would be an “internal discussion document”.
‘Opinions on order’ State Secretary Kerber has already responded to the article in Die Welt. The emails should not be viewed as “an all-encompassing theoretical treatise,” he says in Die Welt. He says they were “faced with the task of preventing a worst-case scenario.”
The opposition demands clarification from Seehofer. It cannot be that politics gets “opinions on demand” from science, says Die Linke party chairman Dietmar Bartsch in Die Welt. According to him, politics and science are doing each other a disservice, because trust in science is being damaged.
The liberal party FDP wants an explanation of the ministry in the interno committee of the Bundestag tomorrow. FDP member Konstantin Kühne writes on Twitter that it is normal for science and politics to exchange ideas, but it cannot be the case that “tailor-made” results are presented, he says.
Angela will be rewarded for this with a position in the european union.
When you say “Germany” would you perhaps mean the northern, former Prussian domains? Their whole culture introduced a revolutionary system of social control emulated strongly by all the most advanced world countries from 1880-1920, to institute social controls to make the mass of the children of the poor easier to control, to crush their imaginations, make them excel only in cooperativeness with random dictates of authority. This was done at the beginning of the period of forced industrialization. This is their true “Germanic” legacy.
“Kindergarten”
“At the beginning of last year, the German Ministry of the Interno worked with several scientists on a strategy to increase fear of corona in order to foster understanding for drastic corona measures.”
And, more importantly ‘increased fear’ means increased budgets. Just like the CDC hyped AIDS/HIV back in the eighties.
I wonder if he was related to Josef Goebbles?
Why hire scientists to do what the media in America does for free?
p
DH told me today he heard on (fox?) that FauXi now says 3 masks. I do not know if that is current or not.
But all this begs the question:
WHY do the corruptocrat elites want everyone to be terrified of covid? We know in the US it was at the very least to force mail in voting so they could steal the election more easily.
Get people used to tyranny?
Keep people separated from each other so they can’t find out truth?
Keep people isolated so they are miserable and depressed and more commit suicide?
Torment people needlessly to sell vaccines?
Keep people from going to houses of worship since the elites hate God?
Other reasons?
“Angela will be rewarded for this with a position in the european union.”
Angela has gotten herself a little getaway in Paraguay just like the Bushies.
The London Imperial model predicted 2.2 million dead Americans and 500,000 dead Brits if we didn’t lock down. You can say it was an incorrect computer model, but they have a HISTORY of bad disease models.
2005
Bird flu pandemic ‘could kill 150m’
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/sep/30/birdflu.jamessturcke
Last month Neil Ferguson, a professor of mathematical biology at Imperial College London, told Guardian Unlimited that up to 200 million people could be killed.
Real death toll? Maybe 200,000. 1000x mistake
2002
‘Mad Cow’ Sheep in Britain Could Increase the Human Death Toll
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mad-cow-sheep-in-britain/
Neil M. Ferguson and his colleagues at Imperial College, London, considered three possible scenarios. In the best case, BSE does not spread within or between flocks and therefore has a negligable impact on the vCJD epidemic. But at worst, BSE spreads wildly both within and between flocks and raises the vCJD toll from a maximum of 50,000 to 100,000 deaths due to infected cattle alone to a combined total of as many as 150,000 deaths.
Real death toll? 50-ish. 1000x mistake.
This means that liberals in power CHOOSE to use a disease modeler with a HISTORY of being WILDLY wrong.
