The recent publication of thousands of pages of minutes of the COVID-19 “crisis team” of Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has caused a buzz in social and even some traditional media, since they appear to show that the German Government decided on many of the most draconian lockdown and containment measures for which the country became known against the scientific advice of its own public health authority. Germans were, for instance, obliged to wear not just any old masks but nothing less than high-filtration FFP2 masks, even though the minutes contain numerous warnings that wearing FFP2 masks is only appropriate for qualified medical personnel for short periods of time and that sustained use by the general public could even be dangerous.
But if Germany went into a hard lockdown – including schools closures, shop closures and a ban on public gatherings – without any scientific justification, the obvious question is: why? Paul Schreyer is the Co-Editor of the German online magazine Multipolar, and it was his freedom of information request which would lead the RKI ultimately to release the documents, albeit in heavily redacted form.
It should be noted that the RKI turned over the documents to Multipolar of its own accord. Contrary to what has been widely reported, it was not ordered by any court to do so, although Multipolar speculates that it took the “surprising” decision in order to avoid a court order. It should also be noted that on the magazine’s own account, the RKI turned over the documents not two weeks ago, but in April 2023. So, Multipolar had the documents for nearly a full year before making them publicly available.
Schreyer suggests that even the RKI’s March 2020 decision to “upscale” its assessment of the risk represented by COVID-19 from “moderate” to “high” was made under political pressure and had no scientific justification. That decision was announced by then RKI president Lothar Wieler on March 17th and would, as Schreyer says, serve as the basis for all the subsequent lockdown measures. Angela Merkel would announce radical nationwide measures on March 22nd. But, Schreyer argues, if the number of Covid ‘cases’ did indeed triple in Germany in March 2020, this may only be because the number of Covid tests being administered tripled as well.
If there was political pressure, however, where did it come from? Schreyer alludes to external sources. The usual suspects, as it were: Bill Gates, what he calls the “U.S. pandemic-management scene” and the WHO.
The suspected vector of U.S. influence is one Heiko Rottmann-Großner, a German Ministry of Health official “with excellent contacts to the U.S. pandemic-management scene”, as Schreyer puts it. His only evidence of these “excellent contacts” is Rottmann-Großner’s participation in a one-day pandemic preparedness exercise which was held in Munich in February 2019 under the auspices of an American NGO. But given that the exercise was held in conjunction with that year’s Munich Security Conference, the annual transatlantic security pow-wow which is sponsored by the German Government, it would have been extremely surprising if a representative of the latter had not been invited.
Indeed, none other than the Robert Koch Institute even plays a starring role in the fictional scenario on which the exercise was based, as can be seen here. It is the RKI which discovers that the ‘plague strain’ which is spreading across the world and has shut down global travel was… wait for it… genetically engineered! This must have been flattering for then RKI President Lothar Wieler, who, though not mentioned in the programme, was also present at the exercise, as pictorial evidence uncovered by Schreyer shows.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been one of many both private and public supporters of NTI, the NGO which hosted the exercise at the Munich Security Conference. For what it is worth, the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Global Affairs Canada) funded the exercise.
But, in any case, Heiko Rottmann-Großner is precisely a German Government official – and one of longstanding to boot. As Schreyer notes, he was already the Chief of Staff of then-Minister of Health Hermann Gröhe in Angela Merkel’s third Government from 2013 to 2018.
It was Gröhe’s ministry, incidentally, which sponsored the symposium which brought together Germany’s ‘star virologist’ Christian Drosten and the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s star bat coronavirus researcher Shi Zhengli – as well as many other luminaries of the German and Chinese virology scenes – in Berlin in 2015. (See my articles here and here.)
When Gröhe was replaced as Health Minister by Jens Spahn in Merkel’s fourth Government in 2018, Rottmann-Großner would stay on in the ministry as head of its “health security” subdivision. He continues to hold this position today under Spahn’s successor Karl Lauterbach. It would prove to be, as Schreyer says, “a key position in the Corona crisis”.
According to one would-be insider account of the German Government’s Covid crisis management, which is cited by Schreyer, Rottmann-Großner was calling for a hard lockdown already on February 24th 2020, at a time when the RKI still assessed the risk from Covid as “low”. He would turn up in a more conspicuously public role in September of last year when the Ministry of Health sent him to serve as Lothar Wieler’s ‘minder’ during the former RKI chief’s testimony on the Covid response in the regional parliament of Brandenburg.
It thus appears clear that Rottmann-Großner has played an important and eminently political role in the context of Germany’s COVID-19 response. He has, incidentally, no medical or scientific background, but merely a BA in politics and economics. Much the same could be said of his boss during the Covid years, then-Health Minister Jens Spahn, whose highest degree obtained is an MA in politics.
But just why Rottmann-Großner should be suspected of having represented anything other than German interests in this connection is anybody’s guess.
And what about the WHO? Schreyer writes that at the same time as Rottman-Großner was calling for more radical containment measures in internal German Government deliberations in February, the WHO was also increasing the pressure. Schreyer says that it would increase the pressure even further following its March 11th pandemic declaration, even though, per the RKI’s assessment, the epidemiological situation in Germany had not changed.
But was it really the WHO which was exerting pressure on Germany and not rather Germany which was exerting pressure on the WHO? Indeed, in those early months of 2020 was it even possible to distinguish between the two?
Here are a few facts about the relationship between the WHO and Germany which Schreyer does not mention.
Firstly, in 2020, Germany virtually overnight became the top funder of the WHO: a position which it would maintain throughout the official pandemic years. More importantly and more to the point, it would be far-and-away the top funder of the WHO’s COVID-19 response. If in 2020 German funding alone represented nearly one-third of the WHO COVID-19 response budget, in 2021 it would rise to nearly 40% and the combined contribution of Germany and the German-dominated EU, under the leadership of former German Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen, would represent almost half the budget. (It may well have been more than half, since in 2021 a conspicuously large portion of the response budget is listed as coming from “miscellaneous” sources.) No other country’s contribution even came close. The USA, for instance, only provided around one tenth of the German total. The Gates Foundation, whose supposed influence has received far greater attention, provided veritable peanuts by comparison, representing less than 1% of the total budget or around one fiftieth of the German contribution. (For exact figures and a discussion, See my ‘Gates or Germany? Who “Owns” the WHO’s Covid-19 Response?‘)
The Chef de Cabinet of WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in this period was the German epidemiologist – and current German Foreign Office official – Bernhard Schwartländer. Believe it or not, before becoming Tedros’s Chef de Cabinet in July 2017, just a year and a half before the official start-date of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, Schwartländer had been none other than the WHO representative in China. He presently holds the title of “Global Health Envoy” in the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Astonishingly, per his X profile, as seen below, and other documentary evidence (here and here), Germany’s “Global Health Envoy” is based at the German embassy in Beijing.
When, for instance, in late January and early February 2020, Anthony Fauci, Jeremy Farrar and other Anglosphere scientists and public health officials became concerned by signs that SARS-CoV-2 may have been genetically-engineered and wanted the WHO to lead an investigation into its origins, it was to “Tedros and Bernhard” that they appealed, as the below FOI’d e-mail makes clear.
“Tedros and Bernhard” would indeed assemble a team to investigate the origins of the virus. Its much-maligned investigation would dismiss the possibility of a lab-origin out-of-hand, focusing almost exclusively on possible zoonotic origins.
The presence of Peter Daszak of the U.S.-based EcoHealth Alliance in the investigation team has drawn a great deal of comment from English-speaking observers. But the team also included Marion Koopmans: the Dutch virologist whose close association with the German PCR-protocol designer Christian Drosten I have discussed here.
More to the point, it also included an official of none other than Germany’s Robert Koch Institute. The RKI member of the team was Fabian Leendertz, a veterinarian and then head of the RKI’s “Epidemiology of Highly Pathogenic Microorganisms” research group. He is presently the Director of the newly-founded Helmholtz Institute for One Health in Greifswald.
This brings us back to Leendertz’s then-boss at the RKI, Lothar Wieler. Like Leendertz, Wieler is a veterinarian. Like Leendertz, he is a proponent of the “One Health” approach to public health, which places emphasis precisely on the risks for human health originating from the animal kingdom.
As Schreyer knows (because he has touched upon it here), in the period in question no other public health official in the world had better connections to the WHO, namely because Wieler was in fact himself a key player at the WHO. As documented in the below excerpt from his current CV on the website of the German National Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina), Wieler was serving as a member of no less than three WHO committees and as the Chair or Co-Chair of two of them.
Most importantly in the present connection, he chaired the committee charged with reviewing the WHO’s International Health Regulations in light of the COVID-19 Response. The revision of the International Health Regulations has formed part of the same process as the more highly publicised ‘Pandemic Treaty’, which, incidentally, as I show in my article here, Germany has also spearheaded.
As detailed in the same article, the WHO ‘Pandemic Hub’, which was inaugurated in Berlin in September 2021, is nothing less than a full-fledged joint-venture between the WHO and Germany’s Robert Koch Institute. The hub was created with $100 million in funding from the German Government, and the Charité University Hospital of one Christian Drosten is also a partner.
And, finally, we should not forget the aforementioned Christian Drosten. The WHO would famously adopt Drosten’s PCR protocol as the ‘gold standard’ in Covid testing. Even before the protocol had been ‘validated’ by the EU-funded journal Eurosurveillance in an infamous 24-hour “peer review”, the WHO had already published two earlier versions of Drosten’s protocol on its website. Astonishingly, the earliest version is dated January 13th 2020, i.e., just two weeks after the first official reports of the illness in Wuhan. (Some have questioned whether it was also published that day, but, in any case, as a reference in another Eurosurveillance article shows, it was accessible on the WHO website by January 17th at the latest.)
As the below excerpt from March 9th 2020 correspondence between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the WHO makes clear, by early March the WHO was shipping hundreds of thousands of PCR test kits manufactured by Berlin-based TIB Molbiol. TIB Molbiol is the company of Drosten-collaborator and PCR-protocol co-author Olfert Landt.
Why was the WHO in such a hurry to adopt the notoriously over-sensitive Drosten-Landt test? Could the hundreds of millions of euros which Germany would start pouring into the organisation have had something to do with it?
But what interest could the German Government possibly have had in exaggerating the threat represented by COVID-19? Well, this would be blindingly obvious were it not for three years of incessantly saying “Pfizer” when the actual owner and legal manufacturer of the mRNA vaccine which was the cornerstone of the response to the threat is the German firm BioNTech. As I already showed in detail in my first article on the subject in November 2021, the German Government had long been BioNTech’s state sponsor and would directly sponsor its vaccine candidate.
Even if others may somehow remain befuddled about just whose drug the so-called vaccine really is, in Germany, at any rate, there has never been any doubt. “Invented in Germany, made in Germany”, then German Minister of Health Jens Spahn would say proudly during the inauguration of BioNTech’s mRNA manufacturing facility in Marburg on April 1st 2021.
Indeed, as Spahn noted to in his speech, not just one but two of the three mRNA companies which had been in the running to produce a COVID-19 vaccine were German, the other being CureVac. Both were sponsored by the German Government. The German Government would even directly invest in CureVac in June 2020, thus ensuring the company’s continued existence in case its vaccine candidate did not get the nod – which is exactly what came to pass.
The BioNTech facility in Marburg, Spahn continued, would be a “starting point for the Federal Republic [of Germany] as a whole” – these were his exact words – namely, for making the country into what he called a “vaccine hub”. “We would like to become an mRNA hub… for the world and for Europe,” Spahn said unabashedly – sounding more like a Minister of the Economy than a Minister of Health.
Spahn fondly recalled his first meeting with BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin “around 12 months ago” and their discussing how the German Government could support the company’s vaccine project. Around 12 months ago? Well, that would take us back to precisely the time when the RKI, according to Schreyer, was raising its assessment of the COVID-19 threat level without scientific justification, based merely upon ramped-up PCR-testing.
Was all of Germany turned into a stage for Covid theatre, with 80 million Germans forced into the role of extras, all in order to help realise the “dream” (as Jürgen Kirchner has put it) of “vaccine hub Germany”?

I presume that it is sarcasm, but it is also the opposite of the truth: The young getting out and about builds herd immunity in the community at little cost, which makes the community safer for older people. Locking down young people makes it more dangerous for the old. This is immunology 101 and used to be well known.
yes – but i was referring to the end, not somewhere near the end – herd immunity does not ‘save’ anyone who is at the natural end of their life – part of the problem we have is that people simply do not understand or accept mortality – vaccinating someone who is about to die because they are at the end of their lives is pointless
You’re right. Ought to have said that to begin with, though!
They vaccinated my 89 year old father. He didn’t live to 90. His death certificate said he died of old age.
My nephew was down from glasgow last night to do a motorbike test in manchester – he’s just headed of to newcastle-u-T to meet up with some mates to head out into for a big night out where he will not be putting anyone in danger
just thought i would clarify for the half-wits
Unfortunately, your conceited and condescending attempt at irony has undermined your, err, “irony,” so back to night school for a refresher course for you.
What a thoroughly unpleasant character you are. Apart from the odd troll not what is usually found here.
a bit of irrelevant bluster usually does the trick
That sums you up nicely.
Easy fellah…..
You’re the fucking half-wit.
We at the arse end of life should not wish to curtail the freedoms of our young people. Many of them are facing a lifetime of misery – we have mostly enjoyed our lives. Let them enjoy life while they can.
PS. You rotten Sod.
you cant fix stupid
You can fix it, isn’t that what the Covid injections are all about?
.
You’re the living proof of that.
Nonsensical comment, so they stay in their bedrooms to protect the elderly who never asked them to do that and wouldn’t have done it themselves
blimey, another one
The lesson is not to make ambiguous remarks. There are some around here who would not be being ironic – and some others who make arsehole comments, ironic or not.
I thought my comment was simply complex but thanks Rick, helpful as ever
Yes.
Well, I enjoyed it.
Sarcasm is hard to spot in plain text format. One sees a comment which looks like a lockdownist has come here to troll us and we feel a moral duty to try to educate them in the error of their ways. Sorry for my own little lecture comment, but I couldn’tsee at the time that the first one was sarcasm.
people are way too quick to attack others on this site
Sarcastic comments never work well on social media, unless you qualify it was typing sarc/ after it, then it becomes apparent.
Quite.
I knew what you were saying (yes I understand sarcasm). It does appear that others have been reading the Daily Mail comments too much of late and have lost thiur sense of irony.
I’m pretty sure that the negative comments and thumbs down have misconstrued your comment! Have a great weekend.
If there is an argument that makes my blood boil for it’s sheer malice and outright horror, it is the ‘your behaviour is putting me at risk” argument.
Go f**k yourself.
Again. Go f**k yourself.
(Not aimed at you Jabby Jabby, obviously, but the keep others safe argument is probably the most insidious, malicious argument on which all this manipulation is based.
I am overcome with rage when I see someone who wears a mask but then slips it off to smoke. Yes, people should have the right to do silly disgusting things like smoking, but they shouldn’t then try and preach to me about how a mild cough is something they’re scared of.
saw someone do that yesterday sitting outside a wine bar. The mask was on except to take a drag from a cigarette
I am with you Stewart.
Precisely what danger? At this point in time either you’ve had the vaccine in which case you are safe from serious symptoms if you do meet someone infected and do contract the virus. Or you aren’t vaccinated, because you don’t consider the virus particularly concerning according to your risk calculations, so aren’t scared. Either way you’ve nothing to fear from covid. And just remember, we have herd immunity now, the mixing of the young has finally topped up the reserve enough in the more mobile parts of the population (by natural infection to immunise those who didn’t take the vax) and the vulnerable parts are already fully vaccinated. Covid is in decline now, and even if it spikes again (unlikely) it won’t ever spike agan among the vulnerable.
Unfortunately the first three lines are not accurate.
What danger? The young don’t care about the elderly, they have had their life and let the young get on with it. The young don’t want to associate with the elderly so where’s the danger?
I remember being forced to go and see my grandmother in her nursing home, I didn’t want to see her and smell the smell of piss throughout the home. She didn’t have the money to bribe me to go and see her, so why give up my valuable enjoyment time with my mates.
The young are self centred, foolish and selfish thats what being young is about.
All those selfish old git clubbers putting everyone in their care home at risk, just too shocking.
silly boy
Yawns
You are right, the young should be prepared to lay down their lives for granny by stepping up to the vaccine plate, and I would tell them face to face if ever I met a young person, but they rarely get close enough to infect me with anything. It is just like in the last war when they selfishly manned planes and boats, or selfishly helped liberate Europe – they got all that excitement when the rest of the country was left at home eating snoek and Woolton pie.
I am old now. I enjoyed my youth without restrictions and now it’s the turn of the young to enjoy theirs. It’s up to the old and vulnerable to take care of themselves – it’s no great loss for us to avoid nightclubs and similar crowded venues, after all!
I am sick of being made a scapegoat for those whose aim is to break the country in pursuit of dubious political agendas, and can’t believe the utter selfishness of many old people who want everybody to be locked-down just to protect them. They must protect themselves and let the country get on with recovery. Who will pay their pensions if society is bankrupt?
I will continue to live as I want because I refuse to spend the remaining years of my life in fear and isolation. Also I will not get jabbed with a poison I don’t trust or need, and God speed those brave souls who are tryng hard to expose the truth.
We must be related
Living life is what the young should do. I’m sixty five with various health problems, including chest and throat and I am not terrified of dying, it’s what the old should do to make way for the young. I’m not ‘vaccinated’ either, and I won’t be willingly.
Leave the young alone; we were all young once and we did what they’re doing now.
Great to see!
One of the few cheerful sights for a long time.
I was delighted to attend a wedding reception, just as it would have been before the lockdown. About 300 people, plenty of socialising and not one mask.
Enjoy it kids because the bogey man will be stopping you come the start of the flu season.
Don’t just enjoy it, plan for how you’ll permanently keep your temporarily regained freedoms, by any means necessary.
Good to see this many people clear don’t care for the whole “apocalypse disease, fear everyone” narrative. But a shame that as soon as they finish partying most of them revert to virture signalling rather than protest. Simply taking your rights back in the limited places and ways the tate says you can doesn’t do anything to redress the power imbalance and ensure they never try a lockdown again. People need to make their opposition to lockdowns and vaccine passes very plain and visible, not just play along but hope their own freedoms will survive. The covi-panicked have been saying “nobody is truly safe from covid until everyone is safe from covid”, we need to say “nobody is truly free from tyranny until we’re all free from the threat of tyranny”.
So, so true. If the go-along- to-get-along crowd just stopped, this would be over in a minute.
Spot on. However, many people simply won’t know how they can make their opposition plain and visible – they will need to be shown or told what to do. They also need to feel they are not alone.
The young especially (in the UK) will probably have spent most of their early lives in settings where they are one of a group, have to do as they’re told, and accept their own needs as being secondary to those of others (nurseries, childcare, before/after school clubs etc), and will have carried that mindset forward into their adult lives. Hard to break through all that psychological conditioning.
Report from the ground. c 5 parents of children at my daughter’s school have come down with Covid, early 40s most of them. With symptoms – some ‘tough’ apparently. One guy (I suspect a bit of a chubby if his daughter is anything to go by) had to to hospital for a few days. ALL vaccinated (possibly not all had second dose).
Separately, went to my daughter’s theatre performance this morning. Windows to the auditorium fully open – just me and some old guy without masks. Wife giving me the eyes.
Yup, this is definitely happening. Near neighbour, double vaxxed, got it probably from child – symptoms just what I would have predicted given his age. Wife fine, clearly immune.
Someone else who had Covid last November, no vaccines, went to Wembley, many of his double mates got Covid, usual very nasty flu symptoms, he didn’t.
Gold miners, anyone?
The behaviours that have become second nature to me over the last 18 months, that I’m sticking with are a complete and utter distrust of public health officials, total hatred of all politicians and a refusal to comply with demeaning and unscientific demands.
Yes, those lowlifes can never be trusted. Resistance is vital.
Good God, too many people are enjoying themselves. This MUST be stopped!
Make fun illegal Boris before we all die of happiness !!!
From the slog:
“In Scotland, between the 8th December 2020 and the 11th June 2021, a total number of 5,522 people died within 28 days of having a dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.
The average number of people dying of Covid-19 in Scotland per month over the same period was 54. That compares to 922 dead shortly after taking the vaccine.
Scottish people are, ergo, 18 times more likely to be killed by vaccine than they are by Covid. (And bear in mind, in the UK as a whole, the “adverse symptoms” reporting system suffers from unexplained discouragement syndrome)
[Goblins from Reuters, the NYT and Guardian shouldn’t waste their fat-chequing time: those numbers are official and the result of an FOI request made to Public Health for Scotland]”
https://therealslog.com/2021/07/24/the-saturday-essay-coming-out-of-the-shadows-dead-scots-complete-finks/
While I’m really glad to see people getting out there and enjoying themselves, I can’t help thinking that this is just part of the plan – I expect that in September (just before new Uni terms begin) the govt cretins will ask clubbers to think about all the fun they had in summer and they can continue to do that if only they accept their meds without question and download this insidious little app. Evil.

So good to see people getting on with their lives. It must piss off the miserable puritans no end.
People just wanna have fun
I recommend that all these people enjoying life again take a good long moment to look around take it all in. How fun it is to be a bare faced human and intimately socializing with your fellow humans with not a mask in sight. Take it in deep down to your very soul.
The A-holes will be back this fall ushering you all back in lockdown and you’ll be peeking over your face
diapers for all life functions outside ur home once again.
Or will some of you finally say F it all enough of this shyte?!!
Enjoy the summer while you can whoever you are!
Thank you. I have, shamelessly, “borrowed” your comment for FB as it sums up my feelings so well! Everyone who has attended an event, and given their Vax Status in order to participate, has tacitly shown the Gov a green light.
Not all restrictions have gone my Partner and I are becoming Civil Partners in a couple of weeks. The number of people “allowed” at the ceremony in the local Town Hall? Eight! And that includes the two witnesses from the council. So effectively we are “allowed” four guests. Not “Back to Normal” then.
People should ignore all Boris crap and do their own thing as there are not enough police to push the nonsense
I do Mike but you can’t ignore what the council say especially when it’s their building. Though of course it’s our building as we pay for it but you know what I mean. I suppose we could get the whole family and friends together and smash our way in but they’d probably refuse to carry out the ceremony!
I love the mind’s image of you smashing your say in en masse and demanding to be married before a crowd. Sounds like a good premise for a Richard Curtis film.
*way, not say.
Thought I’d proof-read it before pressing ‘post’
And why not…life is for living, not just existing
Slightly off topic but affecting the young. My nephew (a airline captain who had a good income) had to renegotiate his mortgage because of reduced earnings. He has two young children.
The broker told him that anyone who had been on furlough wouldn’t get a mortgage. I wonder do the numpties supporting and enjoying furlough get that.
National debt is exceeding war time levels and there is a price to be paid for all the covid nonsense.
Personally, I hope to be sneaking out of my care home to go clubbing. Good luck kids. I sincerely hope you are enjoying yourselves because the covid fanatics are leaving you with a huge debt to pay.
“Personally, I hope to be sneaking out of my care home to go clubbing.” That sounds great instead of the girls dancing around their handbags they’ll be be dancing around their sticks and zimmers.
The idea that the young living their lives to the full is somehow a danger to very old people who have reached the natural end of their lives – is absurd.
(re-worded for maximum simplicity)
All businesses should start banning all government ministers and MPs from their establishments.
They know they only have a few weeks before the doors slam shut again, so they are making the most of it.
Good luck to them.
There’s bugger-all we can do to stop this march into tyranny without resort to *whisper it* -anarchy.
But what business is going to defy the law over checking VPs if it invalidates their lease or their insurance? You can’t force entry into a country without the paperwork – yes I know you can do it in a dinghy, but we’d quite like a nice holiday at the other end.
Scuffles with rozzers on a demo is one thing but if it goes unreported what’s the point?
Just watched Neil Oliver saying that the only way out of an abusive relationship is to take the kids and leave.
Trouble is, you need somewhere to go.
Let it rip, virtually immune, marvellous for herd immunity, leading us back to normal.
The only behaviour that’s become ‘second nature’ to me over the last 16 months, is hatred of the government and trying to live my life as normally as possible while ignoring their ridiculous draconian curbs on our God given freedoms.
