Social media has been abuzz with the publication of more than a thousand pages of FOIA’d records of the COVID-19 “Crisis Team” of the German public health authority, the Robert Koch Institute. Although heavily redacted, the records appear to show that German authorities knowingly went into a hard lockdown and adopted other draconian containment measures without scientific justification.
But there are numerous other records which German authorities hold and which could help to clarify crucial questions related to the declared COVID-19 pandemic and the response to it. Hence, there are numerous other reasons for testing the waters of Germany’s relatively recent Freedom of Information law. (Germany’s Freedom of Information Act dates from 2005 and was revised in 2013.)
For instance, with increasing attention being paid to a recent explosion of cancer diagnoses and everyone but the mainstream media wondering if it might not be connected to oncogenic properties of the mRNA vaccines with which virtually the entire Western world was vaccinated in the name of combatting COVID-19, would it not be interesting to know more about earlier clinical trials of the German company BioNTech?
As at least my readers will know, BioNTech is the actual owner and legal manufacturer of what is more commonly and misleadingly known as the “Pfizer” COVID-19 vaccine. It is also a company which was founded to develop mRNA-based cancer treatments and which was almost entirely focused on this goal prior to Covid. The company’s founders, Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci, are oncologists.
Since its founding in 2008, however, BioNTech had not gotten very far. In The Vaccine, the auto-hagiographical account of the development of their COVID-19 vaccine which Sahin and Türeci wrote with Financial Times journalist Joe Miller, they say that they had tested their mRNA-based cancer drugs on merely 400 people in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials since 2012 (p. 41). Why had they never made it to a large-scale Phase 3 clinical trial?
A search of the EU Clinical Trials Register turns up just three Phase 2 BioNTech clinical trials which were registered prior to 2020. (Phase 1 trials involving only adults are not included in the database.) No results are available for any of them. The earliest of these trials only began in 2019, just five months before the official start of the Covid outbreak in Wuhan. This trial, however, is listed as having been “prematurely ended”. See the screenshot below. (“HU” stands for Hungary and “DE” for Germany.)
Why did BioNTech’s cancer drug trials not get any further? Could it have been that the company’s mRNA-based therapies were in fact accelerating cancers rather than reversing them?
As the responsible oversight authority, the German vaccines and medicines regulator, the PEI, certainly knows and possesses information which could help clarify these questions. Moreover, as I have shown here, the PEI has in fact a longstanding collaborative relationship with the company.
Think of the massive amount of documentation which American courts have forced the FDA to release on the clinical trial of BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine (the so-called “Pfizer documents”, even though the sponsor of the trial in question was in fact BioNTech). Why should the PEI not be required to be just as forthcoming about BioNTech’s prior cancer drug trials?
Stop Press: By the way, the third of the Phase 2 clinical trials registered by BioNTech prior to 2020 is also of some interest. This one was registered in 2019. Look at how the sponsor name is given.

One of the reasons people haven’t woken up as much as they ought to have done is that people still believe there was a pandemic, because that “fact” keeps being repeated as if it were as plain to see as the sun in the sky.
There will never be a worthwhile inquiry into “covid” while those responsible (almost every powerful group, private or public, and most powerful individuals) are still alive and active. They were all more or less complicit in what happened. There was no opposition of any substance. So what possible incentive does anyone who controls what an inquiry would do have to hold such a thing? To discover the truth, or at least to properly consider what happened, you need something much more adversarial, where there is a team with broad remit to subpoena witnesses who would testify under oath, and seize evidence, and set their own terms of reference. That will not happen in our lifetimes.
In any case, other than the detail of whose hand was up whose jacksie, the “truth” is known by a great many now – it’s just that nobody wants to say it out loud. Why would you want to admit you’ve been had?
No. We need Nuremberg-style trials.
And subsequent deterrents.
I suggest a few action points:
The above would save money and get to the truth better and faster.
And increase the pressure on the MHRA to release all data on vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
I’ve sent it to all the “sceptical” contacts I have on Whatsapp who I know were unvaccinated (2), or I think they know that the inquiry is a farce (5). 7 is a depressingly small number of people…..
2 unvaccinated is pretty low. Maybe you don’t know many people or there are some but they’ve not made it clear to you. I thought I was doing badly with just 5 including Mrs ToF.
Among ones old friends the number is very low, but several of them will not be having anymore jabs (some after complications even told by their doctor not to) but have made several new friends in groups formed for the unjabbed
You’re right – and I know quite a lot of people. I really hope that there are more people in the unvaccinated camp – but it’s not a question (have you had the jab?) that I feel comfortable asking.
I’ve never asked anyone. I’ve been pretty clear on my views of “covid” and on my own “vaccination” status and other people have volunteered the information. I know most of my work colleagues and other people I talk to have been “vaccinated” because they all made a big song and dance about it at the time. There are a few people at work I am not sure about as they’ve never mentioned it, but that might just be because they are private people who don’t share that kind of information.
These days while I am happy to answer people if they ask me, I don’t make a point of talking about what the “vaccines” appear to be doing to people’s health because it feels awkward telling people they might have poisoned themselves. Always happy to discuss though how “vaccine” passports and any kind of coercion was and is wrong.
Your experience matches mine. It’s awkward.
A real CoVid enquiry would be the trial of those who committed crimes against Humanity.
“Nearly four years on since the onset of the pandemic”. Why the assumption that there was a pandemic?
I take care to only ever refer to the alleged pandemic.
Yes plandemic (it was certainly planned, many years in the making, patents on Sars II date back to the 90s).
Scamdemic. Certainly was a scam, a pilot project of Medical Nazism, a prep for what is still to come.
“We need real inquiries if we’re going to restore people’s faith in public authorities.”
I am sure I speak for the majority on here when I state that faith in public authorities is now non-existent and there is zero chance of it ever returning.
Public authorities exist but I aim to ensure I do absolutely nothing to assist with their works or continuance.
