An extensive correspondence, which WELT AM SONNTAG has, shows: In the first high phase of the pandemic, the house of Interior Minister Horst Seehofer acted on researchers. Thereupon they provided results for a dramatic "secret paper" of the ministry.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior engaged scientists from several research institutes and universities for political purposes in the first wave of the corona pandemic in March 2020. It commissioned the researchers from the Robert Koch Institute and other institutions to create a calculation model on the basis of which the Ministry of the Interior, Horst Seehofer (CSU), wanted to justify tough corona measures.
This emerges from more than 200 pages of internal correspondence between the management level of the Ministry of the Interior and the researchers, which WELT AM SONNTAG has received. A group of lawyers fought for e-mail in a legal dispute with the Robert Koch Institute that lasted several months.
In an exchange of e-mails, the State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior, Markus Kerber, asks the researchers contacted to develop a model on the basis of which “preventive and repressive measures” can be planned.

I don’t speak German. Do you have an english link
No. I used Google Translator.
It vaz for dere own goot.
Pretty much the same story on the Washington and the British simulation models. You can get a model to produce practically any result if you work with the inputs (assumptions).
Shouldn’t be a surprise, CDC didn’t have a computer model but they hyped the AIDS/HIV scare in the eighties trying to justify more spending. They knew they wouldn’t get nearly as much unless they could predict an aids epidemic breakout into the heterosexual population.
FWIW, I worked/developed massive simulations for DoD back in the seventies/eighties.
