Worth reading
An interview with Karin Mölling, a SERIOUS German virologist who has worked on lots of epidemics, and authored many books and papers on the subject. She doesn't see anything special about this epidemic. She understands the problems with lockdowns.
She points out:
20 dead again, how terrible! Do you know when I’m starting to panic? If there are 20,000. Then we get close to what went on completely quietly two years ago. The 2018 influenza epidemic, with 25,000 deaths, never disconcerted the press. The clinics had to deal with an additional 60,000 patients, which was no problem in the clinics either! I tell you: Nobody did [shutdowns] two years ago. Where is the need now? Is that just an imitation effect of what happened in China? I relate what is happening now to other situations. I know people tell me: influenza is different from [this] illness. But flu is a very serious illness, let’s make that clear. 25,000 deaths is a very heavy burden that we don’t want to have. But the clinics handled it.= = = = = I think we'll find out sooner or later that the lockdowns were more than just imitation. This smells like Chinese blackmail. ¶ 10:16 AM
