By Simon Logoff

Is the Covid-19 crisis leading us into a digital world dictatorship?

The purpose of this investigation is to examine this and many other questions on an evidence-based basis, to warn of (potential) dangers, to forecast possible developments in the Covid-19 crisis and to point out solutions. The reader will be provided with a comprehensive overall picture of current events, including historical contexts and future prospects. Among other things, the following questions are addressed and discussed:

- How dangerous is the new coronavirus and its variants really?
- Was or is there a pandemic at all?
- Were or are the Covid-19 protection measures effective?
- Are the new Covid-19 vaccines really safe and effective?
- Do the Covid-19 vaccines create mutations of the new coronavirus?
- Is there graphene oxide and/or graphene hydroxide in the Covid-19 vaccines?
- How reliable is the PCR test?
- Did the new coronavirus come from a laboratory?
- Has the new coronavirus or Covid-19 been scientifically proven?
- Was the pandemic planned? If so, who was behind it?
- Is the virology or germ theory correct?
- Is the vaccination theory correct?
- Can the "philanthropists" like Bill Gates and Rockefeller be trusted?
- Is there an overpopulation problem?
- Is there a problem with climate change and is it man-made?
- What is the "Great Reset" and the "Fourth Industrial Revolution"? Do they pose a threat to us?
- Do transhumanism and artificial intelligence pose a threat to us?
- Is 5G dangerous and is there a connection between 5G and the current situation?
- How does our banking system work?
- What is the role of secret societies?
- What is the New World Order and are we on the way to it?
- What can we do about it?

The investigation contains circa 140,000 words (which corresponds to approx. 520 din A4 pages in Word standard format, font size 13) and more than 1600 source references.

About the author

The author is an independent investigative journalist and political analyst. Since 2008 he has been mainly concerned with global political issues, with a focus on hegemonic world politics and globalization criticism.

The author studied law with a focus on criminal law, as well as history, psychology, and philosophy, but has acquired the really relevant information mostly through his own initiative and intensive research.

The author's working method is characterized by the fact that he always tries (according to the classic principles of investigative journalism) to proceed in an evidence-based manner, to really question everything, to comply with the ethical standards of the press code, and to support everything with evidence.

Due to the (political) explosive nature of his topics, the author uses a pseudonym to protect himself from potential disadvantages of a social, professional, and private nature.

Foreword

If someone had told me in 2019 that in 2020 a virus would sweep over the entire world and lockdowns, social distancing, curfews, contact bans, travel bans, masking obligations, testing obligations, reporting obligations, and quarantine obligations would be imposed throughout so many countries, whereby several workplaces, stores, bars, restaurants, hotels, cinemas, theaters, discotheques, sports clubs, gyms, and other service providers, as well as schools and daycare centers, would have been closed and travel, sporting events, and cultural events, would have been canceled, with the goal to vaccinate the whole world, then I would certainly have declared that person crazy.

And yet, all of this has come to pass through Covid-19 and has become a bitter reality, which is nothing other than an absolute state of emergency, in which we have all been since spring 2020. 

But how did it actually come about? Is the SARS-CoV-2 together with its variants really so dangerous? Were the declaration of an epidemic emergency and the imposition of measures restricting fundamental rights justified? How safe and how effective are the vaccines? How reliable is the PCR test? Has the SARS-CoV-2 even been properly isolated and scientifically proven to cause Covid-19? Is the pandemic just a coincidence or a plan that has been consistently pursued for years and is now being put into action? If so, who is behind it and what goals is it intended to accomplish?

The purpose of this discussion is to pursue these (and many other questions) in an evidence-based manner, to analyze them, to warn of (potential) dangers, to forecast possible developments of the Covid-19 crisis, and to point out solutions from it.

But one thing at a time. First of all, let's look into the question of how dangerous the SARS-CoV-2 really is.

Chapter 1. The virus, the test and the measures

1. How dangerous is the SARS-CoV-2 really?

We hear from everywhere that infection with the new coronavirus can cause a respiratory illness called Covid-19, which in its severe form can turn into pneumonia and possibly be fatal.

But how dangerous is the SARS-CoV-2 really? What do scientific studies, the CDC, the WHO, and the RKI say about it?

1.1 The WHO Bulletin Study by Professor John P. A. Ioannidis

A study by Professor Ioannidis could give us some information.

John P. A. Ioannidis is a professor of medicine and professor of epidemiology and population health at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is one of the most-cited scientists in the world.¹ ²

The meta-study, entitled Infection fatality rate of COVID-19 inferred from seroprevalence data, was also peer-reviewed and published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization (WHO) on October 14, 2020. ³

As part of the study, Prof. Ioannidis evaluated a total of 61 global antibody studies to determine Covid-19 infection mortality.

The analysis showed that, on average, about 0.23% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 die, with mortality among those under 70 as low as 0.05%. Accordingly, Covid-19 would be comparable to about a moderate-severe flu.

Ioannidis focused his metastudy on antibody studies for the reason that no one knows how many people have actually been infected with SARS-CoV-2. Since it is known that most people infected with SARS-CoV-2 do not develop Covid-19 because their infection with SARS-CoV-2 is asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, it can be assumed that most of those infected were not tested in the first place and thus were not statistically recorded. In his projections, Ioannidis concluded that by September 12, 2020, more than 500 million people in the world could have been infected, which would be seventeen times the number of laboratory-confirmed cases documented to date (about 29 million). This means that the already low percentage Covid-19 death rate would have to be further revised sharply downward.

In a more recent study from March 2021, Ioannidis even concludes in his evaluations that on average only 0.15% of those infected are among the Covid-19 fatalities.⁴

1.2 The data of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on the danger of SARS-CoV-2

According to the RKI data, only 0.01% of 0-49-year-olds without pre-existing conditions and 0.03% with pre-existing conditions die FROM or WITH SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is very similar to the results of the Ioannidis study. Even people who are over 80 years of age and have no pre-existing conditions are only about 1.49% at risk, although according to the RKI it is not clearly separable in older people whether age or pre-existing conditions increase mortality. ⁵  Thus, it is quite possible that age and pre-existing conditions play a much more significant role in death than SARS-CoV-2 or Covid-19.

1.3 WHO does not estimate Covid-19 to be more dangerous than seasonal influenza

During a special WHO meeting on 05/10/2020, Dr. Michael Ryan, WHO's head of emergencies, announced that an estimated 10% of the world's population is infected with SARS-Cov-2. ⁶ ⁷

In response to this statement, Kit Ritterlich made the following calculation in his article in the Off-Guardian:

"The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people, if 10% have been infected that is 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections is 1,061,539.

That’s an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%. Right in line with seasonal flu and the predictions of many experts from all around the world.

0.14% is over 24 times LOWER than the WHO’s provisional figure of 3.4% back in March. This figure was used in the models which were used to justify lockdowns and other draconian policies." ⁸

Since the Covid-19 statistics, unlike the influenza statistics, are not counted annually or seasonally, but (for whatever reason) cumulatively, this must be taken into account in recent calculations, e.g. by taking out of the cumulative Covid-19 number of victims the relevant data for a certain period (e.g. a calendar year, half-year, quarter or the period of the typical coronavirus season from December to April⁹) and using them for the calculation or comparison. 

1.4 The planning scenario of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows a low mortality rate of those infected with SARS-CoV-2

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has come to a similar conclusion. The CDC published various pandemic planning scenarios in September 2020, including Scenario 5, which it says represents a current best estimate about viral transmission and disease severity in the United States.¹⁰

It assumes the following infection mortality rate with SARS-CoV-2:

1.5 The UK government does not consider Covid-19 to be a dangerous infectious disease

Covid-19 is already not considered a High Consequence Infectious Disease (HCID) by the UK government as of March 19, 2020.¹¹

HCID disease is defined according to the following criteria:

– acute infectious disease

– typically has a high case-fatality rate

– may not have effective prophylaxis or treatment

– often difficult to recognize and detect rapidly

– ability to spread in the community and within healthcare settings

– requires an enhanced individual, population, and system response to ensure it is managed effectively, efficiently, and safely

Covid-19 is NOT all that according to the UK government!

1.6 For whom could Covid-19 pose a risk?

According to the situation report of the Robert Koch Institute on coronavirus disease-2019 of 05.01.2021, the average age of Covid-19 deaths in Germany is 84 years, ¹² which is even higher than the average life expectancy (78.9 years for men and 83.6 years for women).¹³

After an autopsy of more than 100 Covid-19 deaths, the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf found that the fatalities were on average already more than 80 years old, and some of them had severe and/or multiple previous illnesses.¹⁴

According to the Italian Medical Research Institute (Istituto Superiore di Sanità, ISS)

almost 96% of those listed as Covid-19 deaths had pre-existing conditions.¹⁵

And according to a study conducted by ISS on March 17, 2020, as many as 99% of the deaths listed as Covid-19 had pre-existing conditions.¹⁶ ¹⁷

Moreover, even the CDC has disclosed that in only 6% of the total deaths recorded as Covid-19, Covid-19 was listed as the sole cause of death.¹⁸

Further, as early as April 2020, the CDC announced that approximately 90% of Covid-19 hospitalized patients had one or more underlying conditions, with obesity, hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease being the most common. Among these, hospitalization rates increased with age, with the highest rates in adults aged 65 years and older.¹⁹

Thus, it is obvious that SARS-CoV-2 or Covid-19 by itself is hardly a danger and can only become dangerous for older persons in connection with already existing, sometimes severe, pre-existing diseases.

1.7 The counting of Covid-19 deaths is not correct

Strangely, in many countries, all deaths of patients who tested positive for Covid-19 are counted as deaths CAUSED BY Covid-19 - and this quite independently of whether the cause of death was really due to Covid-19.²⁰

The number of Covid-19 deaths statistically recorded thus omits the distinction of whether these people died FROM Covid-19 or WITH Covid-19. A (maybe even asymptomatic) person who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during his or her lifetime and who had a fatal accident, succumbed to a heart attack, cancer, or any other disease, would thus be included in the statistic as a Covid-19 fatality. However, people who tested positive and were found to have Covid-19 symptoms, but who already had serious pre-existing conditions that were the primary cause of their demise, would also be entered into the statistics as Covid-19 fatalities, even if Covid-19 had contributed only slightly or not at all to the deterioration of the overall condition of these people. It is apparent that such a counting method results in the Covid-19 mortality rate being substantially inflated, and therefore must necessarily be adjusted downward significantly.

The situation is no different in the United States. For example, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, has also confirmed that any deceased patient there who tested positive for Covid-19 while alive is counted as a Covid-19 death, regardless of the actual cause of death.²¹

The U.K. finally recognized this problem and in August 2020 revised the Covid-19 death statistics downward by 5,000 cases after scientists pointed out the problem that many deaths were recorded as Covid-19 deaths there without a causal link between a positive Covid-19 test and death being established.²²

It is known that the PCR test can give false-positive results up to about 1.5%.²³ However, these false diagnoses are not discounted in either Covid-19 infection statistics or Covid-19 mortality statistics.²⁴

For these reasons, the death statistics must be re-evaluated and adjusted downward by quite a bit. This logically also affects all studies and evaluations that have worked with the Covid-19 death statistics, such as the study by Prof. Ioannidis, the data from the RKI, and the evaluation of the CDC, in which the already low death rates from Covid-19 will continue to fall enormously.

To enable correct statistics, it is imperative that in the future only those deaths should be recorded as Covid-19 cases in which Covid-19 was clearly the main cause of death, or at least contributed decisively to the death - i.e. the cases in which the death would most likely not have occurred without the involvement of Covid-19.

1.8 Symptomless course of infection in about 82-85 % of SARS-CoV-2 infected persons?

A scientific study by Rahul Subramanian et. al., which was published on 02.03.2021, concluded that only about 13 to 18 % of SARS-CoV-2 infected persons showed any symptoms at all.²⁵

For their study, the scientists had included various factors in a model calculation: Among them, antibody tests conducted in New York City from March to April 2020, Covid-19 cases reported from March to June, and changes in testing capacity within that time. After analyzing and extrapolating the data, the researchers concluded that only 13 to 18 percent of those infected with Covid-19 suffered from symptoms such as fever and cough. So, only one in five or one in seven SARS Cov-2 carriers had exhibited any symptoms at all. In the Business Insider interview, study author Rahul Subramanian said:

"There is a large number of people with asymptomatic courses of the disease - many more than many studies suggest."²⁶

The question here is how dangerous can a virus be at all, where the vast majority of virus carriers would not even know they were infected or sick without a positive PCR test? Without this positive test, the tested persons would never have known about this virus at all. It is not for nothing that people joke that symptomless people were still called healthy before the Covid-19 pandemic.

1.9 Are asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers contagious?

For some time, it was thought that asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers could spread the virus, contrary to scientific evidence and common life experience. However, Maria Van Kerkhove, epidemiologist and head of the Department of Emerging Diseases at WHO, stated at a press conference on June 8, 2020, that infections from asymptomatic carriers of Covid-19 are very rare:

„We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing. They're following asymptomatic cases, they're following contacts and they're not finding secondary transmission onward. It's very rare and much of that is not published in the literature."²⁷

These findings are also confirmed by a scientific study published in the scientific journal Nature on November 20, 2020, which found that none of the 1174 people who were in close contact with 300 asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers became infected with the virus.²⁸

And renowned epidemiologist Dr. Sukharit Bhakdi also believes that there is no scientific evidence that symptom-free people without cough and fever are spreading the disease. ²⁹

In addition to scientific evidence, life experience also speaks against an alleged infection of asymptomatic people. Asymptomatic transmission by droplets has neither been observed nor scientifically proven throughout human history. If one had no symptoms of disease, one has always been considered healthy and non-contagious. It has never even occurred to anyone to consider a symptomless, healthy person as a danger to the general public. There is absolutely no reason why this should be different now with Covid-19.

Now one could object at this point that HIV can also infect symptomless virus carriers. However, HIV is not a droplet infection, and HIV also raises certain questions that will be discussed later.

If symptomless infected persons do not pose any danger and cannot infect anyone, this means that only those infected persons can pose any danger of infection who have also developed Covid-19 symptoms. Thus, violations of basic rights and restrictions of basic rights in the form of protective measures (lockdowns, mandatory masks, contact and travel bans, etc.) against symptomless SARS-CoV-2 carriers would be unfounded and unjustified.

1.10 Is there scientific evidence of infection with SARS-CoV-2?

This is indeed questionable. Up to now, to all appearances, there have been no scientific investigations and experiments concerning the infection with SARS-CoV-2, so nothing provable can be said about how one becomes infected with the alleged virus or transmits it to others. It is only assumed and claimed that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted by droplet infection, which, however, is anything but a scientific proof. Experts could not agree on this and even the WHO said that there is no compelling evidence in this regard.³⁰

But the assumption that the new coronavirus is transmitted by droplet infection does not seem particularly conclusive either. Otherwise, how could it be explained that numerous mass demonstrations around the world during the pandemic remained without any consequences?

At the same time, the pandemic years 2020/21 must have been record years in the entire history of mankind in terms of demonstrations and protests. How can it be that the numerous worldwide mass protests and demonstrations against the Covid-19 measures and discrimination of the unvaccinated all over the world, the BLM protests, the months of mass demonstrations because of the imprisonment of the politician Sergei Furgal in Khabarovsk, Russia, the mass protests in Belarus against Lukashenko, etc., have had no effect at all on the infection and mortality rates associated with Covid-19 - even though millions of people were on the streets, with little or no compliance with mandatory masking and spacing regulations? Also, in Ireland, for example, pubs were reopened over the summer of 2020, and yet nowhere was there a discernible increase in Covid-19-related infections and deaths, even though this should have been expected to result in a SARS-CoV-2 superspread with numerous Covid-19 body piles.³¹

The same applies to EURO 2021, where the stadiums in England and Hungary were filled to the brim with over 60,000 people, most of whom did not wear masks and did not keep their distance, whereupon even the WHO expressed its concern and yet, in retrospect, nothing happened.³² ³³

All this raises considerable doubts - not only about the danger of SARS-CoV-2 but also about its contagiousness.

1.11 SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 is by far not as dangerous as the top causes of death

Even in the U.S., the country with the most Covid-19 deaths,³⁴ heart disease (690,882) and cancer (598,932) were the leading causes of death in 2020.³⁵

In contrast, the number of Covid-19 deaths was 345 323, although it is unclear whether these people died FROM or WITH Covid-19.

Perhaps, because of these facts, we should be more careful about cardiovascular diseases, cancer and try to prevent them as much as possible?

1.12 How dangerous are SARS-CoV-2 mutations?

It is questionable whether the SARS-CoV-2 mutations are more dangerous than the original virus, or can be at all.

However, ex-Pfizer director Michael Yeadon believes this is impossible for the following reasons:

"SARS-CoV-2 is a large virus with approximately 30,000 RNA bases (10,000 amino acids). Currently, the greatest difference between any ‘mutant variant’ and the original Wuhan sequence is limited to 26 nucleotide mutations. The genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in circulation on different continents is fairly uniform. We know that the mutation rate in SARS-CoV-2 is slower than other RNA viruses because it benefits from a proofreading enzyme which limits potentially lethal copying errors. To date, these mutations have caused changes in less than 0.3% of the entire virus sequence. All variants are therefore currently 99.7% similar to the original Wuhan viral sequence.

To date no robust scientific evidence proves that any of variants identified are more transmissible or deadly than the original. By definition, variants are clinically identical. Once there is a clinical difference then a new strain of virus has emerged. Prior knowledge of viral mutation shows they usually evolve to become less deadly and more transmissible. This optimises their chance of spreading, as dead hosts tend not to spread viruses, and very ill hosts have reduced mobility and thus limit contact with others. "³⁶

1.13 India and the delta variant

Let's take a look at the statistics of the allegedly most dangerous SARS-CoV-2 mutant (delta variant), which according to various media reports is supposed to have really raged in India in April/May 2021, and draw a comparison with the situation in the USA (cut-off date 22.10.2021). In India, 453,076 Covid-19 deaths have been recorded so far. ³⁷ What sounds like a lot at first is immediately put into stark perspective when you look at India's total population and draw a comparison with the US. India has a population of 1.366 billion, the U.S. of about 329.5 million. India thus has 4.14 times (1.366 billion / 329.5 million) as many inhabitants as the USA.

In the USA 753, 747 Covid-19 deaths were registered so far. ³⁸  If the USA had as many inhabitants as India, then the USA would have to show extrapolated approximately whole 3 120 512 Covid-19 victims (753 747 * 4.14). Thus, in percentage terms, 6.88 times (3 120 512 / 453 076) more people have been recorded as Covid-19 deaths in the USA than in India. Furthermore, it is quite strange that the statistical curve of the delta variant, which peaked at 414 433 new infections on May 6, 2021, moved downward again relatively quickly, so that it is now at just about 16 000 new infections. ³⁹

How can it be that the supposedly most dangerous Covid-19 mutant is running out of steam so quickly?

1.14 Conclusion

The SARS-CoV-2 (including all its mutations) is thus anything but a killer virus and hardly more dangerous than a moderately severe flu. Under certain circumstances, if at all, it can become dangerous almost exclusively for risk groups, i.e. mainly for people who are over 70 years of age and who have severe and/or multiple previous illnesses.

It is not clear to what extent the virus is actually the cause of people's deaths, i.e. whether these people die primarily from the virus or their illnesses. For these people, however, even a simple flu is already dangerous, as it could lead to pneumonia with a fatal outcome. This in itself is nothing new, as many elderly and/or people with previous illnesses die every year from numerous and diverse lung diseases, and respiratory diseases are the third-highest cause of death after cardiovascular diseases and cancer.⁴⁰

Since the SARS-CoV-2 is relatively harmless to most people, it is therefore also apparent that the pandemic could not have been that bad. In fact, it is even questionable whether there ever was a pandemic at all.

2. Has there been or is there a pandemic at all?

In the event of a worldwide pandemic, it is to be expected that there will be a strain on the health care system and significant excess mortality. But what is the situation in this case?

2.1 Was there a utilization of the health care system?

The fact that in most cases there was no hospital or health system overload due to Covid-19 at any time suggests that a dangerous virus or pandemic was never encountered.

Let's take a look at Germany, which is known for its accurate statistics.

For example, an analysis of routine data from 427 hospitals by the Quality Medicine Initiative (IQM, data as of August 2021) revealed the following:

For all of 2020, the total number of patients hospitalized was 13.8% lower than in 2019, and for the first 26 calendar weeks of 2021, the number of cases was 20.1% lower than the same period in 2019. The total number of SARI cases, intensive care cases, and ventilator cases also remained below 2019 numbers during the study period.⁴¹

If Covid-19 is supposedly a bad respiratory disease, how is it possible that during the supposedly bad Covid-19 pandemic, fewer patients were treated for respiratory disease in 2020 than the previous year?

The group of authors around Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Schrappe also concluded that there was no utilization of the healthcare system at any time:

In 2020, an average of 2% of inpatient and 4% of intensive care capacities... were used to treat CoViD-19 patients.

Despite bed reductions, Germany would still have considerable overcapacities in inpatient care. Patients would be admitted to hospital more frequently for diseases that can be treated on an outpatient basis than in most other EU countries.

At the same time, Covid-19 patients would account for no more than a quarter of all intensive care patients. ⁴²

The fact that the pandemic did not materialize is also demonstrated by the fact that in 2020 in Germany many hospital employees were put on short-time working and 20 hospitals even had to close. ⁴³ ⁴⁴  And in 2021, more than 30 hospitals nationwide are threatened with closure. ⁴⁵

2.2 Covid-19 as a business model for many clinics

While some clinics have been closed or are on the verge of closure, other clinics have even made a profit during the pandemic by artificially reducing the number of free ICU beds, as in Germany, for example, to receive compensation payments from the government as a result, as it has come out in retrospect. ⁴⁶ ⁴⁷ ⁴⁸

From a financial perspective, the 2020 pandemic year has been even extremely successful for most hospitals. Stefanie Stoff-Ahnis of the board of the German National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds even called it a "golden year of hospital financing."

While treatment cases fell by 13 percent compared to the previous year, revenues for clinics rose by 15 percent, or in bare figures: 12.2 billion euros more flowed into hospitals in 2020 than in 2019.

According to Ahnis, many measures were effective, but not efficient.

For example, in the first wave, all kinds of clinics would have received large sums as freehold lump payments, including such specialized hospitals as pure eye clinics that would never have treated a Covid patient. Health systems researcher Reinhard Busse of the Technical University of Berlin also reports of a hospital in eastern Germany whose planned closure has been postponed for several months, reports the Tagesschau. ⁴⁹

And even in the U.S., the country with reportedly the most Covid-19 deaths in the world, ⁵⁰ many hospitals had a banner year with the government's Covid-19 bailout money, despite (or perhaps because of) Covid-19.

"Last May, Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest nonprofit hospital system in Texas, laid off 1,200 employees and furloughed others as it braced for the then-novel coronavirus to spread.

The cancellation of lucrative elective procedures as the hospital pivoted to treat a new and less profitable infectious disease presaged financial distress, if not ruin. The federal government rushed $454 million in relief funds to help shore up its operations.

But Baylor not only weathered the crisis, it thrived. By the end of 2020, Baylor had accumulated an $815 million surplus — $20 million more than it had in 2019, creating a 7.5% operating margin that would be the envy of most hospitals in the flushest of eras, a KHN examination of financial statements shows.

Like Baylor, some of the nation’s richest hospitals and health systems recorded hundreds of millions of dollars in surpluses after getting the lion’s share of the federal health care bailout grants, their records show. Those included the Mayo Clinic, Pittsburgh’s UPMC and NYU Langone Health." ⁵¹

What can one say about that? Business as usual.

2.3 The dance-pandemic

The fact that medical personnel was clearly underemployed is also evidenced by the fact that during the first Covid-19 wave and lockdowns in the spring of 2020, numerous videos of dancing doctors and nurses went around the world. ⁵²  If there really had been a dangerous pandemic, the medical personal would hardly have had the time and energy to study dance choreographies and record dance videos, and would rather have been busy taking care of numerous Covid-19 patients and cleaning up piles of Covid-19 corpses.

The same applies to the Jerusalema Dance Challenge in the fall/winter of 2020/2021, in which numerous hospitals worldwide participated, whose employees rehearsed the dance choreography for several days and even had some of it professionally recorded. ⁵³

2.4 Regional Differences concerning Covid-19

Covid-19 is known to have been relatively harmless in most regions.

In China, which is known to be the country of origin of SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19 has even disappeared completely after a relatively short time. For example, in the giant Chinese metropolis of Wuhan, where the pandemic is reported to have originated, a citywide SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening program was conducted between May 14 and June 1, 2020, in which all city residents six years of age and older were eligible to participate, and 9,899,828 people, a full 92.9% of the city population, participated, with no new symptomatic cases and only 300 asymptomatic cases identified. ⁵⁴

It is questionable how a supposedly dangerous virus that allegedly causes Covid-19 can disappear at all, just like that, after such a short time and, mind you, without any vaccines at all, while the rest of the world is still struggling with it today, despite multiple vaccinations.

It is also questionable why in certain, few regions, such as New York or Bergamo, increased mortality rates have been recorded in relation to Covid-19, while in other regions the pandemic seems to have passed without a trace.

Since a certain virus must have the same characteristics and consequences everywhere in the world and the SARS-CoV-2 must therefore be equally dangerous everywhere, it can be assumed that not SARS-CoV-2 but primarily other factors have played a significant role in the regionally increased Covid-19 mortality rate. These could include: a higher age structure, high levels of air pollution, electrosmog, poor hygiene, nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infections), overburdened hospitals, poor health care systems, misdiagnosis, treatment errors, malpractice, unnecessary artificial respiration, miscounting, and financial disincentives.⁵⁵

For example, Wuhan and Bergamo (and China and Italy in general) are known as regions where the air is highly polluted. It is not for nothing that the press refers to Italy as the China of Europe in terms of air pollution.⁵⁶

Scientists see a clear link between air pollution and respiratory infections, as well as between air pollution and mortality in general. ⁵⁷ ⁵⁸ ⁵⁹

Lung diseases are well known in northern Italy and are nothing new.

For example, there were already a large number of pneumonia cases in September 2018.⁶⁰

It is also well known that Italy has the oldest population in the EU and that the Italian healthcare system is overburdened. ⁶¹ ⁶²

Thus, several reasons could have cumulatively played a decisive role for higher mortality in certain regions, which could have had nothing or only limited what to do with SARS-CoV-2 or Covid-19.

Furthermore, how can it be that the entire African continent, with the exception of South Africa, has been virtually spared from the pandemic?⁶³  For example, Nigeria, by far the most populous African country, with more than 206 million people, has only 2,130 Covid-19 victims.

In Congo, with a population of over 89 million, only 1021 people are reported to have died from or with Covid-19. Niger, with a population of over 24 million, is reported to have had only 195 deaths to date, and Tanzania, with a population of over 59 million, has had only 21.

South Africa (over 59 million inhabitants), one of the richest and most stable countries in Africa, on the other hand, has by far the most Covid-19 deaths in all of Africa, with 68,000 Covid-19 victims, while all of the neighboring countries (Namibia, Botswana Zimbabwe, Mozambique), which are much worse off economically and far less developed, together count only about 7,000 Covid-19 deaths.⁶⁴

It is also interesting to note that if you add up the Covid-19 victims of all African countries, with the exception of South Africa, you still come nowhere near the total number of e.g. German Covid-19 deaths (currently: over 91,000).⁶⁵ ⁶⁶ ⁶⁷

The Asian countries also seem to be hardly affected by the pandemic.

Laos (with over 7 million inhabitants) has only 5 Covid-19 deaths, the Hong Kong region (with 7.5 million inhabitants) 212, Thailand (with just under 70 million inhabitants) 3 811, South Korea (with over 51 million inhabitants) 2 066, Japan (with over 126 million inhabitants) 15 097 and Vietnam (with over 96 million inhabitants) 370.

Of particular note is China, the country of origin of the pandemic, which is the most populous country in the world with nearly 1.4 billion people and only 4,636 Covid-19 deaths to date.⁶⁸

As it looks, the pandemic has, contrary to all expectations, spared the poorer regions of the world or developing countries much more, although the virus should have spread like wildfire especially there, since these often have considerable problems with hygiene, a much poorer medical system and a much greater population density than the Western countries. How is it then that the USA, one of the most developed countries in the world, has the highest number of Covid-19 deaths (over 607,000)? ⁶⁹

This contradiction cannot be explained from an epidemiological point of view, which leads to the suspicion that the virus may be political rather than health-related. This would also explain, for example, why Australia, which has a population of over 25 million and has only 915 Covid-19 deaths to date,⁷⁰ regularly imposes what are probably the most draconian protective measures.

By comparison - Germany, with a population of about 82 million, had 25,000 flu deaths during a single flu season in 2017/2018, without any measures being taken and without anyone really caring.⁷¹

In the words of Shakespeare's literary hero Hamlet, Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

2.5 Summer break and second wave

Covid-19 has practically disappeared in the EU over the entire summer of 2020 and 2021- and this despite the fact that Covid-19 measures were greatly relaxed everywhere over the entire summer. Probably, the dangerous killer virus took a summer break and went on vacation, which was denied to very many people due to scaremongering and protective measures.

It is also known that every winter comes a new season of coronaviruses, which, like the flu virus season, lasts until the spring of next year.⁷² Therefore, it is likely that the new coronavirus season was sold to the public in the winter of 2020/2021 as a second wave in which the death toll was cumulatively added to the first wave (in the spring of 2020), probably to create a more dangerous impression. Oddly enough, flu victims, on the other hand, are always counted seasonally and never cumulatively, which of course makes much more sense since respiratory viral infections (which include coronaviruses) each occur seasonally.⁷³

Thus, it seems that the Covid-19 summer break was nothing else than the end of the old and the second wave the beginning of a new coronavirus season (in the ranks of which was also the SARS-CoV-2).

2.6 Life experience and common sense

Personal life experience also speaks in favor of never having had to deal with a dangerous pandemic. Hardly anyone is aware of anyone in their personal environment who has died from or with Covid-19 or had to be treated intensively. If a really bad pandemic were to rage through the country, there would have been piles of corpses on every corner, as was the case, for example, in the days of the plague. People would voluntarily lock themselves up at home out of fear, wear masks and distance themselves from other people, so any imposed protective measures by the government would not be necessary at all. The same is true of vaccination campaigns. Most people would be lining up to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and the willingness to vaccinate would not have to be artificially boosted by the prospect of regaining basic rights.

2.7 Where has the flu gone?

How can it be that influenza has virtually disappeared worldwide at the same time as the Covid-19 pandemic? ⁷⁴

For example, in the entire U.S., only about 700 influenza deaths were counted during the current 2020/2021 influenza season, compared to over 22,000 the previous year.

And in Germany, there were only just under 560 influenza cases during the entire flu season, which bears no relation to the more than 186,000 cases from the previous year.⁷⁵

While it is suggested that the Covid-19 protective measures (lockdowns, mandatory masks, distance regulations, curfews, contact restrictions or bans, etc.) are responsible for this, it is not clear why they have not shown the same effectiveness with Covid-19, even though it is assumed that both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are transmitted in exactly the same way, via droplet infection. In other words- if protective measures have nearly eradicated influenza, then this should be just as true for Covid-19.

Could it be instead that the flu season was not down, but that in fact most flu cases were recorded as Covid-19 cases?

This is supported by the fact that even the CDC criticizes that PCR tests can hardly distinguish between influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2.  It even has announced that it will withdraw the application for approval of the CDC PCR Diagnostic Panel after December 31, 2021 (and thus no longer use PCR tests) and, on the other hand, encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season.⁷⁶

Furthermore, it is known that there are no clear, disease-specific symptoms for Covid-19, as pneumonia or the combination of fever and cough can also occur in various other respiratory illnesses. Therefore, a clear differentiation from other respiratory diseases (including influenza) based on symptoms alone is not possible. This problem is also pointed out in the medical article COVID-19, Influenza and Influenza-like Diseases published on 02/12/2020:

The flu wave in winter 2020/2021 will be a challenge for primary care physicians and hospitalists. COVID-19 cannot be clinically distinguished from influenza and other flu-like illnesses. ⁷⁷

Thus, it appears that most (if not all) influenza cases have been or are recorded as Covid-19 cases.

2.8 Did the Covid-19 pandemic cause excess mortality?

A dangerous pandemic that strikes around the world can certainly be expected to have a noticeable effect in reducing the world's population, as was the case, for example, with the Spanish flu, to which 20 to 100 million succumbed,⁷⁸ or the plague, to which 25 million (about a third of the European population at the time) fell victim in the Middle Ages.⁷⁹ However, there are no significant differences compared to previous years. In the pandemic year 2020, there was even a population increase of 1.05% (81.330.639 million people) in the world.⁸⁰

Thus, regardless of the fatality statistics, it is already clear that Covid-19 is not a killer virus that can become dangerous to the world's population in any way.

While it is true that several Western countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Sweden, have higher mortality rates in 2020 than in the previous year, it is questionable whether this excess mortality is actually due to Covid-19.  The argument against it is that if the Covid-19 pandemic was really a bad virus pandemic, the excess mortality should have been much higher.

Moreover, in Germany, for example, it could hardly be recorded in February and March 2021 that death rates were below the average of previous years. ⁸¹ ⁸²

Even during the hot phases of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, some parts of Germany actually experienced under-mortality compared to previous years, which continued into November 2020:

Good news first: In central Germany, the Corona crisis has so far had a rather positive impact on mortality statistics. MDR AKTUELL has evaluated the database of the Federal Statistical Office. The result: So far this year, about two percent fewer people have died in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia than in the average of the comparable periods of the past three years. And that in all age groups.⁸³

How can such a thing be, when a pandemic was supposedly raging in Germany and around the world?

The cause of the slight excess mortality in Germany and other countries in 2020 compared to previous years is thus, to all appearances, less attributable to Covid-19, but rather to other causes, such as the collateral damage in connection with the Covid-19 protective measures and the mass panic spread by politicians and the media, as a result of which there is, among other things. This has led to increased anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression, suicides, postponement of surgeries, intensification of chronic illnesses, lack of exercise, destruction of livelihoods, impoverishment, weakening of immunity, avoidance of doctor's visits due to fear of infection, etc. This does not even require a single real Covid-19 death.

For example, the Weimar District Court concluded in its Jan. 11, 2021, ruling that there can be no doubt that the number of deaths attributable to the lockdown policy measures alone exceeds the number of deaths prevented by the lockdown many times over.⁸⁴

Furthermore, a shift in mortality may also have played a role in the increase in overall mortality.

For example, as early as June 2019 (well before the pandemic outbreak), the U.N. projected increased mortality for the entire global population in 2020,⁸⁵ which a U.N. spokesperson said could be explained by increasing population aging and past population growth.⁸⁶

And a scientific study titled Mortality in Norway and Sweden before and after the Covid-19 outbreak: a cohort study, published in November 2020, came to the following conclusion:

In Sweden, the observed increase in all-cause mortality during Covid-19 was partly due to a lower than expected mortality preceding the epidemic and the observed excess mortality, was followed by a lower than expected mortality after the first Covid-19 wave. This may suggest mortality displacement. ⁸⁷

Relative to Germany, we note that there is significant under-mortality in 2019 (939,520) compared to 2018 (954,874),⁸⁸ so it is also likely in this case that a shift in mortality to 2020 has occurred.

Statistics also tell us that Germany had a surplus of 255,299 over-80s in 2020 compared to 2019, which also suggests a shift in mortality to 2020.⁸⁹

2.9 Conclusion

Thus, it appears that there has never been a dangerous coronavirus pandemic.

At this point, of course, one could object that it is possible that the governmental protective measures contained the pandemic and resulted in excess mortality being kept in check and not getting out of hand. This will be discussed below.

3. Were the Covid-19 protective measures effective?

It is questionable whether the so-called protective measures have been effective at all and have contributed to the fact that SARS-CoV-2 has spread less and that people have consequently become less ill with Covid-19.

However, since it has already been discussed that (potential) asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers pose no risk of infection, it can already be concluded from this finding alone and at this point that all Covid-19 protective measures (in the form of lockdowns, store closures, standoff regulations, mandatory masks, exit, and contact restrictions, travel restrictions, closing of stores, etc.) both towards the non-infected and towards the asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers, who form the absolute majority of the population, have achieved nothing at all and have been absolutely unnecessary and unjustified. Instead, it would probably have made much more sense to limit protective measures exclusively to symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases and to focus more intensively on protecting at-risk groups.

It, therefore, remains questionable whether the measures imposed were at least concerning symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases and risk groups effective and justified. 

3.1 The scathing verdict of the Weimar District Court regarding the government's Covid-19 protective measures

On Jan. 11, 2021, the Weimar District Court acquitted a man who had violated Covid-19 requirements in April 2020. In doing so, the district judge delivered a scathing verdict regarding the government's Covid-19 policy, calling the lockdown a catastrophic political mistake.
