Thank you for the additional explanations.
Know that I am not with you regarding intent. The crimes are in the uncritical application of a new treatment, the forcing of the treatment on the population, and the refusal to acknowledge these mistakes. Hanlon's razor tells me that they (whoever "they" are) are too stupid to time the vaccination campaign as you described. And why should they?

We also have to acknowledge the extent and nature of the lies we were fed by the media.
Take for example the notion of unvaccinated "breeding out new variants". This is precisely what the vaccinations did. Since every vaccination wave co-occurred with covid waves, the breakthrough infections put uniform immune pressure on the virus, so new variants gaining predominance was inevitable.
Instead of acknowledging this very simple truth that I would think every virologist understands we ended up being presented with the exact opposite of the truth.
And that is what keeps puzzling me. To tell not just a lie, but one that claims the exact opposite of what is true, some knowledge of the truth is required. So who fed these lies to the ones who fed them to us?
Oh, at some point they *will* acknowledge that the vaccines have been responsible for new variants. And then they will praise the vaccines again, because the new variants are so much milder...
You sure do have a point. I don't think there is a large scheme that everyone is in on either (as in a conspiracy). However I am absolutely convinced that there are many people with a much better understanding of the data than me who should have seen what was happening. Instead of blowing the whistle, we ended up with forged data. The data is forged and I will prove it.
Ultimately, the motives of each actor have to be looked at individually. Some may have had a better understanding than others what they were helping to accomplish.
I am extremely skeptical that anyone timed the rollouts -- the vaccines were available when the vaccines were available, the boosters became de riguer when the vaccines waned, etc. @fabian, what you are seeing is uncritical thinking.
Oh and I think I'm only guilty of uncritical thinking when I sell it as a fact. I am not trying to do that. It warrants further investigation is all I'm saying. What lead to the decision to open schools BEFORE the vaccines were available? Wasn't the whole idea of the lockdowns at that point to bridge the gap until the vaccines became available?
There was considerable pressure on politicians to re-open schools. Another full year of home-schooling would have done incredible damage (I know; my wife is a teacher, and we have three kids at school).
That said, secondary schools around here (Hessen) only re-opened in 2021 (in our example: February for 5th grade, May for 8th grade). The December wave can not be blamed on that. My current opinion: it would have been better to completely re-open the schools, and everything else, in the summer of 2020. There is no way of stopping a respiratoy virus, and every measure tried (lockdowns, masks, vaccines) will only make it worse. Treat and care for sick people as we always did, and do not change the protocols during bad times.
I am not saying I think that lockdowns were a good idea here. However I am convinced they did affect how the epidemic progressed.
We did temporarily stop the respiratory virus in summer 2020. There were 0 deaths on some days I think. Cases were nearing zero anyway.
I wasn't aware that Hesse didn't open schools in 2020. However virus particles don't care what state they are in. I will look at case data for Hesse and compare it to other federal states. If the wave occurred with delay, I would still blame the school openings in the other states for the surge in cases.
But I do acknowledge that you could be right here. Maybe there is no apparent reason for the surge. Maybe it just happened.
Next article will probably tackle the issue of data forgery. I have crystal clear evidence.
I do not think that we did stop the virus in summer 2020. The virus was just busy doing other things...
However, sorry for hijacking your comment section. :) I am looking forward to your next post (on data forgery). I also really would like to gain insight into how many people have been involved in Covid data issues at the RKI, and what their backgrounds are. Who made all the stupid decisions (like stratifying vaccination rates for adults by two age groups only)? Who is deciding, and how, to select from the hospitalized cases for the purpose of computing vaccine effectiveness? Who decided to change queries, making it "impossible" to report on vaccine effectiveness for months? And so on...
Pressure from the people is not an explanation though, since there was pressure the whole time to do lots of things that were not done, but instead lead to the clubbing down of protestors. So how is it that the school openings were considered a good idea a few months before vaccines were deployed? It makes no sense whatsoever to me, not from a public health perspective.
Maybe, yes. Someone else remarked that. Btw I didn't mean the rollout was timed, but the regulations were relaxed to provoke the winter wave to occur before the rollout.
Without the December wave we would have seen the vaccines are killing people left and right. It may have been a coincidence, but no knowledge was ever generated from blaming things on incompetence and/or coincidence.
So I will still look into this, because I know for a fact the RKI is misrepresenting the data. This is a fact to me and I will be able to at least prove that. The data is forged, even if that may not be the correct legal term. It is being delayed intentionally.
The RKI is also deleting all bivalent booster doses that were administered before the approval date, so BQ.1 pops up before the bivalent boosters were administered. It says so on their Github. It's forgery and it occludes the truth. The truth being that BQ.1 is the variant adapted to Pfizer's BA4/5 imprinting.

Hahaha, yes. I got that a lot after writing the Omicron article.

Just out of curiosity: How do you explain that every vaccine campaign coincides with a COVID wave?
I have yet to see this issue tackled anywhere. There could be a direct causal relationship, but I doubt that.

I know, I have a daughter of 13.
