ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE TRANSCRIPT
Thank you very much for the invitation. This is now my second talk in this circle and compared to last year we have made a lot of progress, I must say, because we in Germany were lucky that there is a whistleblower who made data available to us, which basically the whole world envies us for. So this RKI leak, please do not confuse it with RKI files, those are only these blacked out protocols. RKI leak is much more, almost 10 gig namely, all protocols not only a part, all completely unredacted and much additional material like letters, e.g. a letter from President Macron to Germany that one should please proceed in a coordinated manner with the lockdowns, Excel sheets, emails, PowerPoint presentations and so on.
The significance of the RKI leak lies not so much in the fact that something completely new is said from the point of view of critical critics, but that these documents are conclusive evidence and have now also been admitted and processed as evidence by a first court, which means that if someone writes on Facebook that this and that is not true, then that has little effect, even a scientific paper is often brushed aside and refuted by contrary papers, but if the RKI writes internally that this and that is the case, then you can use that as evidence in court because the lockdowns and the whole Corona policy were coordinated internationally, what we have found here in Germany is significant for all countries, not only for Germany.
The most important question we had all these years was whether the RKI, whose positions were authoritative and even bound the courts, worked politically independently or was politically influenced. Our Federal Minister of Health made a crystal clear statement on this in March, namely, I will read it out: “Media speculate that RKI has not worked scientifically independently on political instructions. That is wrong. Employees were mainly blacked out in order to protect them from hatred and agitation.” So this typical reversal of perpetrator and victim. At that time, Lauterbach had released some protocols, not a single one from his own term of office, and that is still the case today, and the protocols were blacked out to the point of no return, as you can see there. That only names are blacked out there, no one believes. But Mr. Lauterbach got away with this deception for months. That’s how it was in all the newspapers as usual, that’s how it went into the Wikipedia articles, and that lasted from March of this year until July 23, when the following happened:
At 4 a.m., these 10 gigabytes were released on the net, at 6 a.m. there was an invitation to a press conference in Berlin, to which about 30 journalists came, and at 10 a.m. this press conference took place and the journalists learned what we had found at a time when thousands had already downloaded the data. We arranged it like this to avoid that we are arrested directly or house searches take place and so on. From the point of view of the authorities, this was certainly a big thing, but they did nothing because it was pointless. The moment these leaks came out, the unredacted protocols, the Federal Minister of Health changed his mind. Lauterbach admits experts were politically influenced. So he maintained this lie for 5 months, then he said exactly the opposite of what he originally said, but for him, as always, completely without consequences.
What did this political influence consist of? I’ll show you some examples now, and the following slides are structured in such a way that you always see the RKI protocols on the left and what happened to the outside world at the same time on the right. Let’s start with the political influence on May 5, 2020. The RKI writes: “If the RKI does not comply with the political demand, there is a risk that political decision-makers will develop indicators themselves and/or no longer involve the RKI in similar assignments.” As it should correctly be called, these are all verbatim quotes, including typos and comma errors that I show you here. Interesting why an authority thinks either we go along with what is given to us or politics will put us offside itself.
Two days later, “testing, testing, testing” is basically an implicit strategy addition that was prescribed by politics. Overall tricky, since politics has made it. In May, it was already obvious that there were no medical risks and only through the rising PCR numbers the idea of a pandemic was kept alive, and the key to this was Minister Spahn’s requirement to test like crazy, and not sick people, but healthy people, which had never been done before, and the medical newspaper writes: “The statutory insured have to pay for these billions of burdens to this day.”
Second example of political influence: March 5, 2020: “It would be good to put in writing the prohibition of the Federal Ministry of Health, the oral instruction.” This is how the clever civil servant proceeds when he receives unlawful instructions and fears that he will later be held disciplinarily or criminally responsible for them. If he has a written instruction from the ministry, then he is largely off the hook. Conversely, we see from the material that the ministry was always reluctant to issue written instructions.
May 26, 2020: “How should the RKI deal with substantive interventions by politicians, e.g. Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Labor?” So it wasn’t just the Federal Ministry of Health making a requirement every now and then, but basically all ministries interfered with the work of the RKI, and now the most amazing sentence from the entire RKI leak, the sentence on September 28, 2020: “The approval of the mRNA vaccine at the FDA before the U.S. election is not desired, not even at the European authority.” This shows how political this whole event was. To the outside world, they pretended to want to save as many people as possible through vaccination, but even more important to them was that Biden would win the U.S. election, because Trump had basically tied his fate to approval before the U.S. election with Project Warp Speed. He wanted to start before the U.S. election on Nov. 11, and the political forces behind Corona messed that up for him. We then read at CNN, after the votes were counted and uncertainties that existed at the beginning were eliminated, that the FDA granted an emergency approval for Pfizer-BioNTech in December 2020.
The second important point is the question to what extent there was a medical emergency, and there we find quite remarkable passages directly in March 2020. The first one: “The AGI – AGI means working group influenza, they track infectious diseases and have statistics that go over years and decades, unlike these new PCR statistics – AGI sentinel results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 is not circulating widely.” That’s the second day of the first lockdown. One day later: “These trends should better not be formulated or communicated for the time being, as otherwise it may be difficult to justify further measures.”
This shows the way of thinking of the RKI that runs through all the protocols. They subordinated themselves to politics and always thought in terms of the measures, so the important thing was the measures. They patched together some justifications to legitimize them. Among them: “Number of free beds, occupied beds about equal, i.e. 50% vacancy in clinics” with the addition “normally less than 10% vacancy”.
CONFUSED “ACCIDENTAL” REDACTING
And then comes a red sentence because it was removed from the official protocols, but in the additional material we also found such a remnant, i.e. the original version of the protocol that had been forgotten there. This protocol from March 25th was edited for the last time in 2023, by an employee of the legal department who had not even attended the meeting herself and was responsible for fending off requests under the Freedom of Information Act. She says she did not change the file, but only accidentally saved it. But since the RKI does not have a registration system that would comply with the BMI’s requirements, this can neither be proven nor refuted. It says there: “Daring to establish causality between measures and decline of the wave. We are generally at the end of the flu season.”
SAME AS PREVIOUS FLU SEASONS?
Ladies and gentlemen, the RKI had the following graph for this, which for me is the most important graph of the entire Corona crisis. It doesn’t come across well because it’s somewhat complex, so I’ll explain it. It’s not a graph made in hindsight, yes, so nothing with hindsight error.
At the beginning of the lockdown, the RKI saw the following: You see the calendar weeks plotted down here, each from mid-year to mid-year, and on the ordinate are plotted the so-called ILI, i.e. colds with fever, i.e. somewhat stronger colds. You see every curve represents a certain year. You see the same pattern every year. Initially, there are few colds, i.e. in midsummer, then that grows gradually until winter. In the months of January and February, these colds explode, then go back to the original value. That’s why the vernacular speaks of cold or flu waves.
What’s interesting now is the black curve, which belongs to the year 2020. You see, firstly, that the number of febrile colds including SARS, i.e. nonspecifically, regardless of the virus that causes them, that this number of colds was abnormally low for the time of year, and even more importantly, it went back down from February. You see the peak of the black curve in February. But in February, it was still said that Corona was a) harmless, b) a conspiracy of the right-wing, and thirdly, now you should go ahead and celebrate Carnival or Fasching, which was also done until the end of February. Only in the first week of March did the political mood change within a week for reasons that are still unclear, and at that time the colds were already in free fall. That means all these excuses, yes, yes, of course it went down before the lockdown, but the school closures worked, or the cancellation of large-scale events, all that is not compatible with the data. All these measures come around the 10th calendar week, and it went down, as you can see in the graph, from the 6th calendar week.
VACCINATIONS
Next question concerns vaccination, and here I have several slides because the protocols were particularly heavily blacked out here. We read first on April 15, 2020, when we learned in the newspapers firstly, there is no vaccine at all, secondly, there will not be one for a long time because development takes 10 years, and when it does come, it will be voluntary. We read internally the following: “However, there is no experience with RNA and DNA vaccines so far.” “Pfizer and BioNTech are considering whether they should skip the phase 3 studies if necessary.” Two weeks later: “Several vaccines will come that will be developed and tested in fast track. Relevant data will only be collected post-marketing.” That means we squirt it into the whole population first and then afterwards we’ll see if it benefits or harms, right? That was the plan and that’s how they implemented it.
You know that the first vaccinations started on December 27, 2020, and now on January 8, 2021, in the early phase: “The efficacy of the vaccine is not yet known. The duration of protection is also unknown.” Yes, with that they basically only repeat what was in the EMA approval, namely that basically only protection against positive PCR test is known, but everything else like protection against severe disease, protection against death and the like cannot be inferred from these documents.
In March, we see the first skepticism: “It is not yet evident that fewer old people are dying due to the vaccination effect. Do vaccinated people die?” On the right, I have shown you, and this is from WDR, what vaccine development normally looks like. Research and development 8 to 17 years. This time they did it in a few months, and the result was devastating, as we now know.
Second point on vaccination, does it provide protection for others? This question is enormously important because the general vaccination mandate was based on the claim that a vaccinated person also protects others. Uh, if it was only about self-protection, then you couldn’t justify a legal obligation here. What did the RKI think about the topic of protection for others? 08/02/21, i.e. very early: “It is to be expected, but not certain because nowhere shown, that through vaccination, severe courses can be avoided, but not the local multiplication of the viruses.” In August: “The actual effect of 2G, i.e. exclusion of unvaccinated people from social life, is not greater protection of others, but greater self-protection.” And then, looking back in ’22: “There is no indication that vaccinations change anything about excretion. No evidence of change.” So that means internally they had a crystal clear and consistent position that also fit with everything that was in the literature, especially with the approval study that had never claimed protection for others.
And what did that mean in the external presentation? In the external presentation it was said: “The whole country will be held hostage by these people,” i.e. the unvaccinated. Yes, that’s what Karl Lauterbach shouted at the other members of parliament in the Bundestag when it came to whether a general vaccination obligation should be introduced, which, as we know today, actually only narrowly failed, if we’re honest, only because the traffic light coalition and the CDU/CSU had different ideas about the general vaccination obligation and mutually blocked each other in their proposals. It was a very close thing. But you can see very clearly in this slide that what was communicated to the outside world contradicts diametrically what was known internally.
IS IT SAFE?
Last internal slide on vaccination: Is it safe? Now it gets really serious, and if you have weak nerves, go out for a bit. 19.03.21, i.e. vaccination has already been going on for almost 3 months: “AstraZeneca a lot of excitement. Generally, now 12 cases with sinus vein thrombosis. Paul Ehrlich Institute’s pharmacovigilance centers are not keeping up well.” Then: “Sinus thromboses also in men. A 20-fold higher incidence.” That means, if you were vaccinated with AstraZeneca, you had a 20-fold higher risk than an unvaccinated person of developing sinus vein thrombosis, a really severe and life-threatening disease. “45,000 adverse event reports to the Paul Ehrlich Institute in recent weeks. Myocarditis in young men, sinus vein thromboses, and so on.”
In the only hearing on this so far, in the Brandenburg investigative committee, the head of the Safety Department of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, Dr. Keller-Stanislawski, said: “There were people who only took care of deaths and people who only took care of myocarditis. We had much more work than ever before just because of this vaccine.”
The most shocking thing is the next slide. Pay attention to the date on the left again: In March, April, May of 2021, it becomes apparent how devastating the AstraZeneca vaccine is, and even ordinary citizens who have no access to scientific findings became suspicious because, due to unreliable but still existing information from their environment, they saw what was happening there.
POLITICIANS TELLING STORIES
How did Germany’s leading politicians react to these warnings? Federal President Steinmeier vaccinated with AstraZeneca. Chancellor Merkel and Vice Chancellor Scholz vaccinated with AstraZeneca. Karl Lauterbach had himself vaccinated with AstraZeneca. And in May, as the last one, Spahn gets vaccinated with AstraZeneca. Never before have you heard politicians post on the web what treatments they are currently undergoing. With Ms. Merkel, it’s the crux of the whole leak, even the vaccination certificate is included. Yes, so from my interpretation, they just wanted to avoid AstraZeneca being left on the shelf and then being held liable for wasting tax money. They still feared that kind of thing back then in ’21. In the meantime, it’s basically customary law that billions are spent every year on vaccine doses that are then thrown away, right? But back then, they were still afraid.
Whether they really got vaccinated, everyone can decide for themselves. From IQ 90 upwards, you only come to one decision.
[Laughter and applause]
CHILDREN
Now to the topic of children. On March 11, 2020, we read in the protocol: “School closures in areas that are not particularly affected are not recommended.” 5 days later, all schools and also, what is actually even more serious, daycare centers were closed.
RKI back and forth. On May 21, 2021: “Pediatric associations, i.e. pediatricians, are reluctant about vaccinating children. Politicians are preparing vaccination campaigns.”
Somewhat later, almost imploringly:
“Children have a low risk of [COVID] compared to other respiratory diseases.” There is clear internal resistance, but it is never communicated to the outside.
Then, at the end of 2021, booster shots for children were planned from the ministry’s side, even though no recommendation and, in part, no authorization. The Health Minister posted that BioNTech was 100% effective in children aged 12 to 15 against COVID with no side effects, yet another “side-effect-free” claim.
Everything was promoted in favor of vaccinating children. If you clicked the source link in his tweet (if you weren’t blocked like I am), you would find it links to a blog summarizing a press release from Pfizer and BioNTech. So, essentially, the minister was a pure advertising outlet for the pharmaceutical industry—no study, no article, nothing.
RISK ASSESSMENT
I now come to my final slide, which is the most complex and, in my view, the most important. It initially shows the so-called RKI risk assessment, which determined our lives for three years.
Green meant living with viruses as humans had done for hundreds of thousands of years, while yellow—and especially red—meant lockdowns, school and daycare closures, curfews, 15 km movement limits, mandatory masks, and direct or indirect vaccine mandates.
In March 2020, the risk level was suddenly raised. It shifted from green to yellow, stayed that way until early 2023, and then returned to green.
Let’s compare that with intensive care occupancy data from the RKI and the Ministry of Health. The green line below represents the recommended normal capacity for German intensive care units. In 2020, we saw a significant under-occupancy, which was highly unusual. This led to billion-euro subsidies to save hospitals from insolvency. It was also the time when those “dance videos” were circulating online. Looking at 2020, 2022, and 2023, the total ICU occupancy barely fluctuated and was no longer tied to any particular actions. The most interesting part of this graph is the dotted line at the bottom, which represents PCR cases—both COVID patients and others, like those hospitalized after car accidents, who were still required to take a PCR test upon admission. The PCR line fluctuates significantly without affecting overall ICU occupancy, yet for three years, the media showed only this PCR curve to the public with “exponential growth,” fueling public fear.
If you now compare the graphs, you would say it’s completely inexplicable why the top graph shows such high risk while the bottom graph indicates complete normalcy. This doesn’t make sense unless you understand the RKI leak. Here’s the explanation on the left: on March 16, 2020, a new risk assessment was prepared over the weekend, which, as revealed in court, was conducted outside the ministry—so it wasn’t a scientific assessment. It was planned to be escalated that week. The following day, the RKI report declared a “high risk,” leading to the lockdown.
In June 2020, not only were colds seasonally low, but even the PCR numbers were approaching zero. Before the protocols, staff urged a lower risk level. However, RKI head Wieler, who was two hierarchical levels above the spokesperson, decided on Tuesday evening that the risk assessment would not be changed the following week. That “next week” turned into three years. Then, on February 25, 2022, a reduction in risk from “very high” to “high” was rejected by the Ministry of Health, just before the general vaccination mandate vote.
FARCE FROM START
Now, the only truly amusing thing I found in the entire RKI leak is from April 26, 2023: the Minister declared the pandemic over in early April. The RKI learned this from the newspaper and then “considered lowering the risk level,” which they had forgotten to do. You see, the whole thing was a farce from beginning to end.
CONCLUSION
My conclusion: The RKI reveals a fundamental issue in the rule of law. According to Montesquieu, courts are supposed to check the executive. But when the courts primarily believe agencies that follow orders, the separation of powers collapses. In nearly all cases—whether about mandates, lockdowns, or school closures—RKI and PEI were witnesses who testified that everything was “in order,” effectively *allowing the government to validate its own decisions*.
It takes a stroke of luck and a well-meaning whistleblower to reach this kind of outcome. I’ll close with a quote from a recent ruling: “The recommendation from the Robert Koch Institute, supporting a vaccine mandate, has been called into question by the now-public protocols of the institute.” This was the ruling of the Administrative Court of Osnabrück in a case concerning a vaccination mandate for a nursing employee, effectively invalidating the previous justification and sending the matter to the Federal Constitutional Court for a new decision.
The same problem, in my opinion, exists with other agencies like the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Federal Environment Agency. These agencies always have the upper hand, though they are, in essence, only following directives.
Thank you for your attention.
[Applause]
