German Official Leak: COVID-19 is ‘A Global False Alarm’
Germany’s federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.
Some of the report key passages are:
- The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
- 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.
- A reproach could go along these lines: During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.
So far, so bad. But it gets worse.
The report focuses on the “manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures” and warns that these are “grave”.
More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus.
The reason is a scandal in the making:
A Corona-focused German healthcare system is postponing life-saving surgery and delaying or reducing treatment for non-Corona patients.
Berlin in Denial Mode. The scientists fight back.
Initially, the government tried to dismiss the report as “the work of one employee”, and its contents as “his own opinion” – while the journalists closed ranks, no questions asked, with the politicians.
But the 93-pages report titled “Analysis of the Crisis Management” has been drafted by a scientific panel appointed by the interior ministry and composed by external medical experts from several German universities.
The report was the initiative of a department of the interior ministry called Unit KM4 and in charge with the “Protection of critical infrastructures”.
This is also where the German official turned whistleblower, Stephen Kohn, work(ed), and from where he leaked it to the media.
The authors of the report issued a joint press release already on Mai 11th, berating the government for ignoring expert advise, and asking for the interior minister to officially comment upon the experts joint statement:
“Therapeutic and preventive measures should never bring more harm than the illness itself. Their aim should be to protect the risk groups, without endangering the availibilty of medical care and the health of the whole population, as it is unfortunately occurring”
“We in the scientific and medical praxis are experiencing the secondary damages of the Corona-measures on our patients on a daily basis.”
“We therefore ask the Federal Ministry of the Interior, to comment upon our press release, and we hope for a pertinent discussion regarding the [Corona] measures, one that leads to the best possible solution for the whole population”
At the time of writing, the German government had yet to react. But the facts are – sadly – vindicating the medical experts’ worries.

On Mai 23 the German newspaper Das Bild titled: “Dramatic consequences of the Corona-Measures: 52,000 Cancer Ops delayed.”
Inside, a aeading medical doctor warns that “we will feel the side-effects of the Corona crisis for years”.
Shooting the Whistleblower. Ignoring the Message.
As Der Spiegel reported on Mai 15th: “Stephen Kohn [the whistleblower] has since been suspended from duty. He was advised to obtain a lawyer and his work laptop was confiscated.”
Kohn had originally leaked the report on May 9th to the liberal-conservative magazine Tichys Einblick one of Germany’s most popular alternative media outlets.
News of the report went mainstream in Germany during the second week of Mai – but already in the third week media and politicians alike stopped discussing the issue by refusing to comment upon it.
Emblematic was the approach taken by Günter Krings, the representative for Interior Minister Horst Seehofer – the whistleblower’s boss:
Asked it he would treat the document seriously, Krings replied:
“If you start analyzing papers like that, then pretty soon you’ll be inviting the guys with the tin foil hats to parliamentary hearings.”
Men in tin foil hats – Aluhut in German – is a term used to describe people who believe in conspiracy theories.
Indeed one article by Der Spiegel adressing the Corona protest movement and the consequences of the leaked report contained the word “conspiracy” no fewer than 17 times!
And no discussions of the issues raised by the report itself. Outside Germany the news has virtually gone unreported.
The Protest Movement – or “Corona-Rebellen”.
Germans begun demonstrating against Lockdowns as early as April.
And thousands of citizens keep showing up at demos every week-end, even as the government is easing the restrictions. The demos are not merely against restrictions, which have actually been comparatively mild compared to many other Western countries.
The demos question the entire Corona Narrative, and even more its principals, especially the role Bill Gates is playing, as the WHO second biggest donor (the first one since Trump suspended U.S. contribution).
Indeed the biggest such demos took place in Stuttgart on May 9th, where tens of thousands people assempled to say no – to the NWO.
Germans are saying no to any orwellian solution the government might one day impose out of a questionable “emergency status”, from mass surveillance Apps to mandatory vaccinations.
The leaked report has proved their fears to be well founded. At least as far as the fake nature of the “Corona pandemic” is concerned. The rest might soon follow.

not a second qwave in Australia, we didn’t even have a first wave by any reasonable metric.
But we do have a government here in Victoria that is so full of itself, it oversaw a hotel quarantine program (people coming back in from overseas) by using untrained security guards who managed to sleep with the ‘guests’, as well as letting them out to shop & dine. Go figure.
That blunder is the sole source of every recent case in Australia.

Such unscientific bullshit.
— The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
In many countries the excess deaths is over 100% above normal, all from this virus.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
— 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).
Complete lie. Some as young as 6 have died from this virus. Many under 60 who were/are hospitalized fight for their lives. It’s grossly callous to claim these people were going to die anyway. So if someone has 6 months to live from cancer, we should just put a bullet through their head and use that excuse.
–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.
Way out of date. Half a year in, now 682,855 deaths, 17,759,332 confirmed cases. Way beyond the flu. And this virus is no where near finished, likely 2 years at least. Millions dead.
–The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm.
Complete lie. SARS-CoV-2 is twenty times deadlier.

“In many countries the excess deaths is over 100% above normal, all from this virus.”
No, they are counting all kinds of deaths “with” the virus not “from” the virus. They also include traffic accident deaths as covid deaths if they test positive. And do not leave out the fact that the PCR test is a general covi test and NOT specific for a single virus, which makes for 80% false positives as covis are environmental and in and out all year round.

There has been a lot written about the accuracy of rRT-PCR tests for SC2.
Personally, I found stories stating that false-negatives were underestimating the amount of SC2 infections was the most ludicrous given the extremely low prevalence of the virus in the population as a whole.
There are also problems with taking, handling and the testing environment itself.
Who takes the swab? Where is it taken? How is it handled and transported to the lab. What is the probability of cross contamination at the lab? Labs in the UK were not geared up to handle this amount of tests.
It’s also disingenuous to report cumulative number of ‘cases’ which leads people to the conclusion that infection is everywhere.
If you tested positive a fortnight ago and have not died, developed symptoms or had no symptoms, then you are not a case.
RT-PCR is a great tool, but the UK governments have managed to make a complete arse of the whole ‘test and trace’ operation.
The fact is that 99% of the population do not die of or from COVID19.
The age groups and health status of those that do die are well known. 50% of them died in Care Homes for the elderly in which the median age is 81.
The fatality rate of 4 – 14% is actually case fatality rate. The numbers are not surprising given the low prevalence of the virus infections and the demographics of those who died. The overall fatality rate as per the CDC is 0.26%
You used the term “excess deaths” which is a bit of a ham fisted way of looking at what happened.
Deaths have been measured against a 5 year average. Like all distributions the average will have a standard deviation. To be pedantic, you should measure deaths based on how many standard deviations they are away from the mean.
To say that deaths have not been mis-classified is again untrue. Public Health Scotland’s count of deaths is almost half the Government reported figure because they use a different metric. Which one should I believe?
Clearly there is a novel corona virus. Clearly it causes death to a small minority of a susceptible age group.
The highest probability of dying and being classified as dying from COVID19 was contingent on 2 factors. Being old and infirm and having co-morbidities. And/or, living in a “care” home.

This covid thing was all bs. All that they did was describe bacterial pneumonia and the common cold as the same thing. That’s why doctors give the ICU patients antibiotics to treat a virus. Antibiotics don’t treat viruses.

You have no clue do you. Antibiotics are to stop bacterial infections from being opportunistic while the patient is suffering from the virus. Clearly, you are not a doctor.

Richard, all you have done here is highlighted exactly what this article is talking about, that even our CDC and especially NIH are corrupt. If you look at death rates all across America, consistent in every single State, they have dropped and are actually below historical averages. If you look at total death rates (those from all causes, excluding crime), we are currently 15% below historical average. So, what you post is continued evidence of precisely what this article speaks of.
Nice work Richard!

Absolutely false. Just because you dont like what the CDC is showing in excess deaths, doesnt mean it’s not happening EVERY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET!!!

Deadly diseases are known for what they do. The true death rate is established by removing comorbid cases. That’s why it’s known that this has a 99.9 percent survivability rate.most people need a test to tell them that they had it. But there also isn’t an accurate test either. It’s all bs. Using comorbidities is fraudulant.

Again, you show your utter ignorance of this issue. It’s not 99.9% survival.
Fatality rates varies from country to country 4% to 14%.
https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid
You are including the entire population which is bogus stats. You dont include in the fatality rate from smoking people who dont smoke. You dont include the in the fatality rate from HIV people who never can get HIV. Hence, you do not include people who do not have this virus in the calculation of how may die FROM the virus.

“100% above normal” – what does that even mean. There is no such thing as normal. There are just deaths statistics which are about variability. You can prove anything with statistics depending on the period you look at. The extra deaths this year will not be deaths next year. Will you be telling us next year that there has been an improvement in health because fewer people have died?

All the excess deaths can be directly attributed to the lockdown measures. Ignore the media scaremongering “coronavirus deaths figures” as they are nonsense (which is obvious when you look into how the numbers are collated) the only figures that can’t be manipulated are the All Cause Mortality numbers – the total number of people that have died regardless of cause. Here in the UK, the all cause mortality numbers didn’t rise above the 5 year average until a few days AFTER the lockdown, and then suddenly the deaths shot up. If these excess deaths were due to a virus, then the rise would have been a slow exponential curve, NOT a sudden sharp increase. This indicates the excess deaths were directly caused by the lockdown itself.

During the week ending April 21, 2020, 15 455 COVID-19 counted deaths were reported in the US.5 The reported number of counted deaths from the previous week, ending April 14, was 14 478. By contrast, according to the CDC, counted deaths during the peak week of the influenza seasons from 2013-2014 to 2019-2020 ranged from 351 (2015-2016, week 11 of 2016) to 1626 (2017-2018, week 3 of 2018).6 The mean number of counted deaths during the peak week of influenza seasons from 2013-2020 was 752.4 (95% CI, 558.8-946.1).7 These statistics on counted deaths suggest that the number of COVID-19 deaths for the week ending April 21 was 9.5-fold to 44.1-fold greater than the peak week of counted influenza deaths during the past 7 influenza seasons in the US, with a 20.5-fold mean increase (95% CI, 16.3-27.7).5,6
The CDC also publishes provisional counts of COVID-19 deaths but acknowledges that its reporting lags behind other public data sources.7 For the week ending April 11, 2020, data indicate that the number of provisionally reported COVID-19 deaths was 14.4-fold greater than influenza deaths during the apparent peak week of the current season (week ending February 29, 2020), consistent with the ranges based on CDC statistics.6 As the CDC continues to revise its COVID-19 counts to account for delays in reporting, the ratio of counted COVID-19 deaths to influenza deaths is likely to increase.
