Germany in the COUPVID-19 era

[MacCruiskeen]

Valery Gergiev, a Russian, has been artistic director of Munich's Philharmonic orchestra since 2013 and chief conductor since 2015. Now the Mayor of Munich, Dieter Reiter, is threatening to sack Gergiev unless he "distances himself clearly and unambiguously from Putin's brutal war of aggression against the Ukraine, and in particular against our partner city, Kyiv." Gergiev has until Monday to bend the knee.

Excerpt (google translate):



The following approach is simple and follows a simple logic: Doctors are unlikely to report under the conditions described. However, it is even less likely that they will not bill for treatments. People with health problems after vaccination will sooner or later see a doctor with their complaints. He will look at things, come to a diagnosis and, of course, bill the patient for the appointment.

Diagnoses are classified and coded according to the international standard ICD10. There is a corresponding alphanumeric code for each diagnosis, including vaccination complications. Relevant are T88.0 (infection after vaccination - shingles is currently very popular), T88.1 (other complications after vaccination), Y59.9 (undesirable side effect when using vaccines) and, brand new since 2021, U12.9 (undesirable side effect when using Covid-19 vaccines).

The BKK (company health insurance fund, BKK umbrella organization), one of the largest statutory health insurance companies in Germany, has now evaluated the first two and a half quarters of 2021 to determine how often the aforementioned ICD code for vaccination complications was billed. Let's take a closer look at the result below.

Spoilers: the numbers are not for the faint of heart.

According to the official figures from the PEI, where do we stand now? As of the last safety report, there have been 244,576 suspicious activity reports since the start of the vaccination campaign (14 months) - nationwide, which includes a population of 82 million people.

In the first 2 ½ quarters of 2021 (7.5 months) alone, the BKK accounted for 224,360 vaccination complications - with almost 11 million members:



Based on these figures, one can now calculate the incidence of vaccination complications for both populations. Then there are 0.29% according to the PEI and 2.05% according to the billing system:https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3dcd9e5a-7573-4d51-9993-5d9ff14a8878_650x406.png

These are just estimates, but they are reasonable, logically justifiable estimates.

Suddenly mass demos are OK again (as long as their message is government-approved), so at least 100,000 faithful tore themselves away from the TV and turned out obediently masked in Berlin today:

Sacked in the morning to keep him out of a meeting with health authorities in the afternoon.

Andreas Schöfbeck, German insurance executive who warned of the high vaccine side-effect rate revealed by billing data, has been fired

His termination appears timed to prevent his participation in a meeting today with German vaccine regulators

Two weeks ago, BKK ProVita chairman Andreas Schöfbeck caused a small uproar by writing to Germany’s vaccine regulator, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, to inquire about the high rate of vaccine side-effects evident from BKK billing data. Schöfbeck has now been fired following an hours-long company meeting this morning, at which he was called upon to defend his letter. Representatives from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, including its president, Klaus Cichutek, had agreed to meet with Schöfbeck and other BKK officials about their concerns this afternoon. Schöfbeck’s termination was obviously timed to prevent his participation at that meeting, which will now go forward without him.

This is the behaviour of people who have deep confidence in the safety and effectiveness of our Corona vaccines.

Give New Normal German Fascists credit for audacity. Here's the @tagesschau reporting that demos are now banned in Moscow "under the pretext of Covid safety." (In Germany, protests against Covid restrictions have been banned since 2020 ... under the same pretext.)

On 20 March, in just fifteen days, Germany’s Infection Protection Act expires. If nobody does anything, the whole legislative basis of containment will simply disappear. That is how easy a freedom day could be in Germany, and with the entire attention of the press on Ukraine, you’d think nothing could be simpler than letting that happen. Alas, Karl Lauterbach is our health minister, and we have the worst government since the war. On 16 February, we learned that the plan was to replace the Infection Protection Act and its “more intrusive protections” with “simple, basic protection measures to contain infections and protect at-risk groups.”

Today, in a very bad interview with the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, Lauterbach finally explains what he hopes that these “simple, basic protection measures” will amount to. They are anything but simple or basic:[...]

They don't mince words here (and why the hell should they?) Summary of the first hour: The USA 1) instigated the Maidan coup eight years ago, 2) has been arming & training actual Nazis there ever since, 3) is hoping Ukraine will be "Afghanistan 2.0" for the Russians, a quagmire, 4) is destroying the economy and society of Western Europe and hoping to dismember the Russian Federation, and 5) is happy to risk a nuclear war on European soil to prevent peace and integration on the Eurasian supercontinent.

Germany's feeble, incompetent and umprincipled coalition government is putty in the hands of the US warmongers.

Germany’s Stockholm Syndrome and the Firing of Valery Gergiev

Cynthia Chung
March 11, 2022

It is time Germany break free from its Stockholm Syndrome, for it is their own classical cultural heritage that is at risk of being entirely erased.

“No, there is a limit to the tyrant’s power! When the oppressed man finds no justice, When the burden grows unbearable, he appeals with fearless heart to heaven, and thence brings down his everlasting rights, which there abide, inalienably his, and indestructible as stars themselves. The primal state of nature reappears, wherein man confronts his fellow man; and if all other means shall fail his need, one last resort remains—his own good sword. The dearest of our goods we may defend, From violence. We stand before our country, We stand before our wives, before our children!

We want to be a single band of brothers, Never to part in danger or distress. We want to be free, as our fathers were, And rather die than live in slavery. We want to trust in the one highest God, And never be afraid of human power.”

“The Rütli Oath”, Friedrich Schiller’s “Wilhelm Tell”

On March 1st, Valery Gergiev was dropped by his manager and fired from his position as Chief Director of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra by Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter, for not denouncing Russia over its military intervention into Ukraine. Gergiev’s former manager Marcus Felsner stated to The Guardian that the Russian conductor is “the greatest conductor alive and an extraordinary human being with a profound sense of decency,” but he was unable to “publicly end his long-expressed support for a regime that has come to commit such crimes.”

The question is, who is the biggest loser in all of this? That is, who will suffer the greatest loss culturally from the voluntary dismissal of “the greatest conductor alive”?

No decent human being longs for war. War has historically been recognized as the weapon, the tool of the tyrant. To threaten force upon a people, a civilization and risk its destruction, only to usurp a temporary and precarious throne is rightfully seen as the ambitions of a mad man.

The question is, to whose mad ambitions and designs of war are we, as a global populace, held hostage? That is, who is the tyrant? And who are the upholders of liberty, who have a right to “defend from violence” by their “own good sword”?

Many of you may be wondering what is the “Rütli Oath” and who is Friedrich Schiller?

Well, that is exactly the point. If you do not know, you have been robbed of something and it was done consciously so that you should not know, or remember such things. A citizenry that wishes to be free and would “rather die than live in slavery” and “never be afraid of human power” is certainly not acceptable storytelling for children, let alone adults, in a world where we do not have a right to choose what the future holds.

Schiller is in many ways, the forgotten Shakespeare of Germany.

Today, we can still hear the name of Goethe mentioned frequently, but rarely do we hear the name of his dear friend, collaborator and in many ways mentor, Friedrich Schiller.

Germany's blandly deranged coalition government is prolonging the torture. It's doing so by delegating responsibility to the regions (Länder):

Several Regions Extend "Corona" Restrictions [including Berlin and Bavaria]

The "Ukraine" phase of COUPVID is of course serving to cover this, even on German "news" sites.

In Germany, Corona Limps On

The Bundestag passes a new Infection Protection Act.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, the legal basis for our current regime of unnecessary restrictions and interference in the everyday lives of German citizens expires after tomorrow, but Corona cannot be allowed to end in Germany. The past few weeks have seen fraught negotiations within the coalition government to draft a new Infection Protection Act and continue the circus.

Today, after acrimonious debate, the Bundestag voted in the new legislation. It provides two tiers of ongoing Corona regulation:

1) Automatically and at all times, “basic protection” measures will be available to the federal states. These allow the state governments to impose mask mandates upon local transit and healthcare facilities, and to impose testing requirements on healthcare facilities and schools. Of course, they will all do so. Mask mandates will also continue in long-distance trains and in aeroplanes.

2) State governments will be allowed to impose additional restrictions, including vaccination and testing requirements for restaurants and public events, in the case of so-called “hotspots.” Anytime you encounter English vocabulary in German law, it is a sign of bad things. A vote of the state parliament is necessary to declare a hotspot and these additional restrictions.

The federal states are allowed a transitional period to continue current rules, but this ends on 2 April.

The press is starting to fill with vile articles about the “freedoms” that will be returning to us. The thing is, that these are not freedoms anymore. They have become temporary, seasonal privileges, which can be removed anytime political pressure builds on the state parliaments. A softening of the rules makes things more comfortable in the shorter term, but it extends the political half-life of the Corona regime substantially.

Despite all the crazy discussion in the press and from individual politicians, vaccine mandates appear to be dead in Germany; only about a third of the Bundestag support a universal mandate for adults.

That’s not as good as it sounds: A lot of other members of parliament want mandate-adjacent requirements that are also bad. Andrew Ullmann, from the FDP, has gained some support for his scheme of mandatory vaccine information sessions rather than mandatory vaccination. I agree that forced lectures from ignorant low-level bureaucrats are preferable to forced medical procedures, but the whole scheme also makes me find Andrew Ullmann even more loathsome than I did before.

In case you thought Ullmann was just trying to reach a compromise to ward off the vaccinators, he’s also open to mandates for the 50+ crowd, so he’s not your friend.

Meanwhile, the CDU (and CSU), who are not in government, propose setting up a creepy “vaccination register” so the vaccinators know who to pressure. They want vaccine mandates maybe possibly for certain at-risk groups and for certain professions.

Of 736 Bundestag members, a mere 50 support a resolution against mandatory vaccination, primarily from the FDP and the AfD.

I meant to post and translate some choice bits of yesterday's Bundestag "debate" but I just couldn't face it.

--------------------------------

At the small local supermarket this evening, a sudden exchange between an elderly Vietnamese man and the young German woman serving him at the checkout:

Old Guy (in heavily accented German): "The USA have stationed missiles in Romania! They have stationed missiles in Romania!"

Young Woman (since he clearly expected a reply): "Oh... That's bad."

Old Guy: "They have stationed missiles in Romania! And in Czechoslovakia!"

Young Woman (handing him his change): "That's very bad. (Smiling.) Still, we'll be open again tomorrow, I hope."

There was nothing "mad" about the way he said it, he was not the least bit aggressive. He was just appalled. Something compelled him to speak out, maybe a memory from half a century ago. The checkout girl was not at all impatient or unfriendly in her replies, on the contrary. (They are lovely people in that shop.) But what could she say? Besides, she had a job to do. We all have to eat.

The old guy packs away his few groceries, shaking his head. The queue moves up.

Old Guy (to me): "The USA have stationed missiles in Romania! They have stationed missiles in Romania!"

What could I do but nod, and smile invisibly behind my compulsory mask?

Maybe he smiled back, but I couldn't possibly know.
