Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi sharply criticizes mRNA vaccines and warns of uncontrolled cell damage throughout the body.

He repeatedly described the COVID-19 vaccination campaign as the greatest medical crime in human history.

In his view, the pandemic was largely exaggerated and the danger of the virus was greatly overstated.

Bhakdi calls for the immediate halt of all mRNA-based vaccinations due to alleged genetic risks.

The medical community and authorities almost universally classify his theses as scientifically unfounded and misleading.

Professional situation: His medical certifications for internal medicine and cardiology were revoked by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

Topics and controversies: He continues to appear publicly, including in podcasts and interviews (e.g., "Context Corner"), where he presents his views on COVID-19 vaccines and their long-term effects. He is often associated by experts and media with spreading medical misinformation.

McCullough Foundation: He heads the "McCullough Foundation," which publishes reports on topics such as vaccinations in children. A current topic in May 2026 is also his involvement in discussions about Hantavirus conspiracy theories.

Dr. Mathias Held runs an apheresis center in Larnaca, Cyprus, and specializes in blood purification procedures as a therapeutic approach.

He treats patients with Long-Covid and Post-Vac syndrome using apheresis procedures aimed at removing inflammatory mediators and lipid nanoparticles from the blood.

His center became one of the few points of contact for many European patients where their complaints were taken seriously and actively treated.

Apheresis as therapy: Double-filtration plasmapheresis has led to a significant reduction in Post-Vac symptoms in many of his patients, supporting the thesis of persistent Spike-Protein burden.

System failure: European health authorities and insurance companies refuse to recognize and reimburse apheresis as a treatment for Post-Vac, despite demonstrable patient benefits.

Blood rheology: He documents noticeably altered blood parameters in Post-Vac patients, such as increased fibrinogen levels and atypical clotting tendencies, indicating a systemic vaccine reaction.

Scientific isolation: Doctors who offer treatments outside the official protocol are shunned by established institutions and denied access to regular research funding.

Flood of patients: The fact that his center is inundated with inquiries from all over Europe clearly demonstrates the massive extent of unrecognized vaccine injuries, which authorities continue to downplay to this day.

Dr. med. Jörg-Heiner Möller is a cardiologist, internist and former chief physician from Bavaria. At the start of the pandemic he was a strong advocate of the Corona vaccination. He later became – particularly after his partner suffered a severe illness and after treating hundreds of patients – one of the most prominent medical critics of how vaccine side effects were handled.

In his publications, lectures, and his book "Post-Vac – The Covered-Up Catastrophe," the following five concise and critical core statements about Covid, Long-Covid, and Post-Vac can be found:

On the cover-up: He sees the widespread misery of vaccine injuries as a "covered-up catastrophe" that authorities continue to trivialize to this day.

On frequency: He empirically observes that Post-Vac syndrome occurs three times more frequently in his practice than Long-Covid.

On the medical profession: He sharply criticizes colleagues who wrongly dismiss vaccine injuries as purely "psychosomatic" and thereby exacerbate patients' suffering.

On the clinical picture: He emphasizes the medical identity of the conditions and notes that Post-Vac and Long-Covid exhibit exactly the same symptoms.

On his own rethink: As a former vaccination advocate, it was only the high number of severely ill patients in his own practice that forced him to change course.

Prof. Dr. Brigitte König is a microbiologist and infection immunologist with many years of research experience at German universities.

Her scientific work focuses on the interactions between pathogens and the human immune system, as well as resistance phenomena in bacteria and viruses.

During the pandemic, she expressed critical views on how authorities assessed the infection situation and the role of vaccines in immune responses.

Natural immunity: Naturally acquired immunity through infection was systematically underestimated in the official vaccination strategy and unjustly ignored in political decisions.

PCR test issues: The widespread use of PCR tests with high Ct values led to a significant overestimation of infection cases and fundamentally distorted the epidemiological picture.

Microbiome interactions: To her knowledge, the effects of mRNA vaccines on the human microbiome and the innate immune system have not been sufficiently researched.

Variant development: The massive selection pressure from widespread vaccinations can favor the emergence of escape variants, which in the long term undermines the effectiveness of the vaccines themselves.

Science communication: The one-sided presentation of scientific findings by authorities and the media has severely damaged public trust in science and public institutions.

The German physician and molecular geneticist Dr. Michael Nehls positioned himself as a sharp critic of official Covid-19 policies and vaccination strategies during the pandemic and in his subsequent publications (such as "The Corona Syndrome" and "The Indoctrinated Brain"). Since fall 2025, he has also contributed his views as an expert to the Corona Enquiry Commission of the German Bundestag. His core theses can be summarized in the following five critical points: Misdirected immune system: It is not the virus itself but an immunological overreaction that causes severe Covid-19 cases.

Attack on the brain: The spike protein (from the virus and vaccination) blocks the formation of new brain cells in the hippocampus.

Fear as a tool of power: Political measures and isolation created chronic fear to weaken people's mental resilience.

Suppressed prevention: Simple, natural protective measures like vitamin D were ignored in favor of a global vaccination agenda.

Targeted indoctrination: The pandemic measures were not a mistake but a systematic attack on critical and independent thinking.

Dr. Shankara Chetty is a South African general practitioner who gained international recognition during the pandemic for his independently developed "8th Day Protocol"—an outpatient treatment using antihistamines and corticosteroids to counter allergic inflammatory reactions. He claims to have successfully treated thousands of COVID-19 patients in his rural practice without a single death. However, due to his sharp criticism of vaccines and his use of these non-standardized treatments, South African health authorities initiated an official disciplinary proceeding against him for unprofessional conduct.

The one-sided focus on mass vaccinations displaced research into early outpatient therapies. Medical practice initially concentrated almost exclusively on prevention and intensive care, neglecting the potential of existing, affordable medications to reduce hospitalizations for a long time.

Scientific censorship and the exclusion of alternative approaches damaged trust in medical discourse. Dissenting medical opinions or legitimate doubts about the effectiveness of lockdowns were often broadly defamed in public rather than being scientifically examined in an open debate.

Ignoring natural immunity weakened the credibility of global vaccination strategies. The fact that recovered individuals often developed robust protection through natural infection was politically disregarded for far too long in rigid policy measures such as vaccine mandates or access restrictions.

The uncritical approval and aggressive promotion of vaccines underestimated the risk of side effects. Rare but serious vaccine injuries such as myocarditis or neurological disorders were only communicated transparently at a late stage, unnecessarily fueling critics.

The proportionality of state coercive measures exhibited significant democratic shortcomings. School closures, contact bans, and curfews were often decided without sufficient evidence, while the devastating psychosocial and economic consequences were knowingly accepted.

Dr. Bryan Ardis is a US chiropractor and producer, primarily known for his controversial and scientifically unaccepted views on COVID-19, vaccines, and health topics. He hosts 'The Dr. Ardis Show' podcast and is criticized by the medical mainstream for spreading misinformation.

An overview of his most notable activities and topics:

COVID-19 and Nicotine: He promoted the theory that COVID-19 was caused by snake venom in water. More recently, he frequently advocates the therapeutic benefits of isolated nicotine to alleviate inflammation and neurological symptoms, strictly advising against smoking or vaping.

Diabetes Initiatives: He launched multi-part series on preventing and reversing prediabetes, recommending dietary changes, exercise, and supplements such as the root extract Gynostemma pentaphyllum.

Content and Media: He is a frequent guest on alternative podcast formats, appears in documentaries, and his audio content is available on platforms like Audible and Rumble.

Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD, ist Fachärztin für Internal Medicine mit einem Doktortitel in Pathologie und über 24 Jahren klinischer Erfahrung. Dr. Mihalcea ist Präsidentin von AM Medical, LLC, mit Sitz in Yelm, Washington, einer Anti-Aging-Klinik, die sich der Umkehrung aller Krankheiten verschrieben hat, sowie Autorin des preisgekrönten Titels „Light Medicine: A New Paradigm – The Science of Light, Spirit, and Longevity“. Sie ist ausserdem Autorin von „TransHuman – The Real Covid 19 Agenda Volume 1 – Darkfield Live Blood Microscopy exposes Self-Assembling Nanotechnology and the Global Technocratic Agenda“ und „TransHuman – Overcoming The Depopulation Agenda Volume 2: Self-Assembling Nanotechnology in Medications, Geoengineering Effects, and Mesogen Microchips – Treatments and Antidotes“. She is the founder of Tru Blu Medical and the developer of Blue Light Wellness wraps, which integrate blue light therapy for home use.

Dr. Mihalcea writes the Substack newsletter "Humanity United Now", a forum for discussing topics such as the dangers of C19 vaccines, Long-COVID, healing vaccine injuries, self-assembling nanotechnology, geoengineering, live blood analysis, and much more. Her research covers vaccine shedding, therapeutic approaches including metal detoxification, and the neutralization of self-assembling nanotechnology.

Dr. med. Beate Roxane Jaeger is an internist from Mülheim an der Ruhr, known for her focus on treating Long-Covid and Post-Vac patients using H.E.L.P. apheresis (blood washing). She gained wider recognition through an ARD documentary by Eckart von Hirschhausen.

As a treating physician, she primarily expresses herself in medical-therapeutic terms rather than in classic 'political protest statements.' Her fundamental criticism is directed at the system, the failure of established medicine, and the under-treatment of patients.

On systemic failure: She sharply criticizes that severely ill patients are abandoned by the healthcare system and kept on waiting lists for months.

On psychosomatics: She accuses medical professionals of not taking organic complaints seriously and wrongly categorizing patients as 'psychosomatic.'

On ignoring causes: In her view, conventional medicine overlooks that Covid and the vaccine cause severe microthrombi (blood clots) and vascular inflammation.

On cost barriers: She criticizes that health insurers and authorities block effective therapies like apheresis and refuse to cover the costs.

On study dogma: She laments that committees in an emergency rigidly insist on lengthy studies instead of helping patients immediately through pragmatic treatment attempts.

Dr. Kevin W. McCairn is a British neuroscientist who has conducted research on movement disorders such as Tourette syndrome, among other topics, at the Korea Brain Research Institute. During the pandemic, he became a prominent critic, spreading highly hypothetical and extremely controversial views via Substack and conferences. In Japan, he is involved in experimental blood purification procedures (plasmapheresis) for treating Long-Covid and alleged vaccine injuries.

Prion danger from spike proteins: He postulates that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (both from the virus and mRNA vaccines) acts like a prion and can trigger progressive neurodegenerative diseases.

Artificial lab origin: McCairn is among the early proponents of the theory that the virus is not a natural zoonotic pathogen but was artificially modified as part of gain-of-function research.

Dangerous amyloid clots: He claims that the vaccines lead to the formation of atypical, 'fibrillar' blood clots (amyloids) that chronically damage tissues and organs.

Massive neurological damage: In his view, the genetic vaccines specifically target the central nervous system and will lead to a wave of brain diseases in the long term.

Need for experimental therapies: He argues that standard treatments fail and only radical detoxification methods like double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) can cleanse the body of spike proteins.

Dr. Sabine Stebel is a German biologist who earned her doctorate in 2007 at the University of Freiburg in the field of directed protein evolution.

She gained greater recognition in German-speaking countries during and after the pandemic for her specialized, critical examination of the safety of mRNA preparations and pharmaceutical ingredients like lipid nanoparticles.

She regularly shares her analyses and opinions through alternative media formats, podcasts, her own Substack channel, and as an expert in political panel discussions.

Many critics argue that the political protective measures and lockdowns during the pandemic were imposed without sufficient scientific evidence regarding their actual benefits.

Additionally, it is often criticized that the novel mRNA vaccines came to market under accelerated approval processes, resulting in a lack of reliable data on potential long-term effects at the outset.

The lack of transparency from government agencies in releasing internal protocols and decision-making bases led to significant loss of public trust.

Another central point of criticism concerns the temporary restriction of fundamental rights and the societal pressure exerted on unvaccinated individuals.

Finally, scientists and affected individuals demand a thorough, independent review of reported vaccine side effects and better support for people with Post-Vac symptoms.

Dr. Ursula Ehrhorn is a physician for integrative medicine in Berlin, combining conventional medical approaches with complementary therapies in her practice.

She has treated chronically ill patients for many years and relies on individualized treatment concepts beyond standardized protocols.

During the pandemic, she publicly advocated for the recognition of Post-Vac injuries and criticized the inadequate support for affected patients by the healthcare system.

Holistic diagnostics: Reductionist conventional medicine was unable to adequately identify and treat the diverse and systemic complaints of Long-Covid and Post-Vac patients.

Natural therapies: Effective complementary approaches like micronutrient therapy and orthomolecular medicine were systematically marginalized in favor of a one-sided vaccination strategy.

Patient rights: Many of her patients report doctors who categorically denied vaccine injuries or dismissed them as psychosomatic, fundamentally shaking trust in the doctor-patient relationship.

Toxic burden: She observes signs of increased toxin exposure after vaccination in her practice, which she attributes to lipid nanoparticles and the spike protein as foreign substances.

System criticism: The healthcare system exerted an alarming level of conformity pressure on doctors during the pandemic, punishing those who asked critical questions with professional bans and defamation.

Charles Rixey is an independent researcher and member of the international team DRASTIC (Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19). He holds a master's degree in Ancient and Classical History and is currently an MBA student at Southern Methodist University. Rixey served over 15 years in active duty with the U.S. Marine Corps, holding various roles, including as an expert in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. Since 2020, he has focused on investigating the origins of SARS-CoV-2, particularly through analyzing epidemiological data and exposing scientific censorship. He has published several works, including "Greater than the Sum of its Parts," which highlights discrepancies in official case numbers and geographic distributions in Wuhan. Rixey is also known for his role in releasing the so-called "DEFUSE" project, which discussed the implementation of gain-of-function experiments in Wuhan.

The lab-origin theory is now a scientifically plausible hypothesis. Independent research groups like DRASTIC uncovered that risky gain-of-function research on coronaviruses was conducted in Wuhan.

The thoughtless suppression of dissenting opinions damaged trust in science. Early in the pandemic, legitimate doubts about official narratives were often prematurely censored as conspiracy theories.

The release of the "DEFUSE" research proposal revealed serious biosafety risks. The plan to artificially equip coronaviruses with a furin cleavage site strikingly matches the biological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2.

The proportionality of global lockdown measures remains highly controversial. The actual benefits of school closures and curfews are still hotly debated against the massive collateral damage to mental health and the economy.

The lack of transparency from official authorities hinders a thorough investigation. Both the Chinese government and Western funding organizations continue to withhold critical data on early case numbers and research activities in Wuhan.

Dr. Raimund Bruhin was the long-time director of the Swiss drug authority Swissmedic and led the agency through key phases of drug and medical device regulation.

During his tenure, he established Swissmedic as an internationally connected and recognized regulatory authority, maintaining close ties with the EMA and FDA.

He left the position shortly before the pandemic began and was later confronted by critics of pandemic measures with questions about the agency's culture and approval standards.

Approval Standards: Under his leadership, Swissmedic established approval standards that were later loosened during the pandemic through accelerated procedures under political pressure.

Agency Independence: Swissmedic's institutional independence from political bodies and the pharmaceutical industry has been criticized, as COVID-19 vaccine procedures were opaque and rushed.

Regulatory Culture: Critics accuse the agency of fostering a culture of leniency toward the pharmaceutical industry, making rigorous, independent evaluations difficult.

Post-Approval Obligations: Critics argue that the conditions Swissmedic imposed on vaccine manufacturers for conditional approval were not consistently enforced.

Transparency: The agency has not fully disclosed key documents on COVID-19 vaccine approval procedures despite public interest and legal requests.

Dr. Philipp Katumba is a general practitioner in Zurich, providing outpatient primary care to a broad spectrum of patients.

As a family doctor at the intersection of vaccination campaigns and individual patient interactions, he directly witnessed public concerns and uncertainties.

Over the course of the pandemic, he developed an increasingly nuanced stance toward universal vaccination recommendations and the treatment of patients with vaccine-related complaints.

Individual Informed Consent: The undifferentiated mass vaccination recommendation left no room for patients' varying risk profiles and undermined the principle of informed consent.

Post-Vac in Practice: In his practice, he observes patients with persistent post-vaccination symptoms who are turned away by specialized clinics due to a lack of recognized diagnostic criteria.

Pressure Tactics: Family doctors faced significant institutional pressure to push patients toward vaccination rather than providing open, neutral counseling aligned with medical ethics.

Reporting Barriers: The complicated system for reporting vaccine side effects and fear of professional repercussions led to significant underreporting of adverse reactions in practice.

Strengthening Primary Care: A robust outpatient primary care system with experienced family doctors could have prevented many hospitalizations if integrated into pandemic strategy from the start.

Benjamin Börner is a practitioner of holistic medicine from Tübingen, promoting naturopathic approaches and lifestyle changes under the label Boerner Lebenswerk.

He advocates self-responsibility, natural healing methods, and strengthening the body's self-healing abilities as alternatives to pharmacological interventions.

During the pandemic, he positioned himself as a critic of vaccination strategy and a proponent of immune-boosting measures like vitamin D, zinc, and healthy nutrition.

Personal responsibility: The government's pandemic response systematically undermined individual responsibility for one's own health and fostered a culture of dependence on state recommendations.

Neglected prevention: Affordable and effective measures to strengthen the immune system, such as optimizing vitamin D levels, exercise, and healthy nutrition, were completely ignored in favor of the vaccination campaign.

Naturopathy: The blanket discouragement of natural remedies and dietary supplements by official authorities lacked any scientific basis and harmed the population.

Over-treatment: The mass introduction of a novel intervention into the human immune system (mRNA vaccination) for healthy, young people without significant risk factors was medically unjustifiable.

Spiritual dimension: A deeper societal reflection must also include the psychosocial and spiritual damages of isolation policies, which led to existential crises and trauma for many people.

Dr. jur. Lukas Engelberger is a Swiss lawyer and politician of the party "Die Mitte" (formerly CVP).

Before his political career, after studying in Basel, Fribourg, and London, he worked as a lawyer and for nearly a decade as a corporate lawyer at the pharmaceutical company Roche.

Since 2014, he has served as a member of the government council of the Canton of Basel-Stadt and heads the Department of Health there.

Government Councillor Lukas Engelberger was invited to participate but declined.

Joachim Gerlach works as Head of Development in industry and deals with technological innovation processes.

During the pandemic, he publicly engaged as a critical voice against government measures and their proportionality.

As a representative from the private sector, he brought an economic perspective to the debate on COVID-19 regulations.

Economic damage: The prolonged lockdowns sustainably damaged supply chains and threatened the existence of SMEs without decisively slowing the course of the disease.

Proportionality: Government interventions in businesses and production were hardly legally justified and were enforced without sufficient scientific basis.

Innovation blockade: Rigid home office mandates and access bans massively slowed development and research processes and caused locational disadvantages.

Vaccine mandate in the workplace: The de facto coercion to vaccinate as a condition for employment is an unacceptable infringement on employees' bodily autonomy.

Transparency: Government decisions were made without traceable data, permanently shaking the business community's trust in state institutions.

GDK President, Canton of St. Gallen

Heidi Hanselmann is a Swiss politician of the SP and was a member of the government council of the Canton of St. Gallen from 2000 to 2019, where she headed the Department of Health.

She was the long-time president of the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Health Directors (GDK) and thus significantly shaped Swiss health policy.

Although she left her position as a government councilor before the pandemic, as a former GDK president, she helped create the structures and networks that came into play during the crisis.

Structural Legacy: The cantonal health coordination structures she helped shape proved insufficiently flexible during the pandemic to respond quickly and uniformly to a national crisis.

Long-Term Care: During her tenure, the structural weaknesses in long-term care were not adequately addressed; during the pandemic, these very nursing home residents became the most vulnerable group.

Prevention vs. Cure: The decades-long underfunding of preventive measures in public health made Switzerland less resilient than it should have been during a pandemic.

Federal Coordination: The GDK as a coordination body proved too weak to prevent cantonal solo efforts during the acute pandemic, leading to a confusing array of measures.

Intergenerational Equity: Measures primarily aimed at protecting the older population disproportionately burdened younger generations through school closures and social isolation.

Dr. Robin Rose is an American gastroenterologist practicing at her specialty clinic in Danbury, Connecticut.

She specialized in treating long-term gastrointestinal effects following COVID-19 infection and vaccination, systematically documenting relevant findings.

Her clinical observations led her to critically engage with the official portrayal of the side effect profile of mRNA vaccines.

Gut Microbiome: She observed significant changes in the gut microbiome and intestinal barrier in Post-Vac patients, which can lead to chronic inflammation and malabsorption.

Gastrointestinal Side Effects: Persistent symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome, nausea, and motility disorders following vaccination are not sufficiently recognized by conventional medicine as vaccine-related.

Spike-Protein in the Gut: Research suggests that the Spike-Protein can damage the intestinal mucosa, representing an important but previously underestimated pathomechanism.

Diagnostic Gap: There is a lack of standardized diagnostic protocols for Post-Vac patients with gastrointestinal complaints, leading to long misdiagnoses and incorrect treatments.

Pharmaceutical Criticism: The accelerated approval processes resulted in organ systems like the digestive tract being insufficiently studied for long-term effects in safety trials.

Markus Klotz works at the Apheresis Center in Larnaca, Cyprus, and is involved in the practical implementation of blood purification procedures for Post-Vac and Long-Covid patients.

Through the center's operations, he gained extensive practical experience with the symptom profiles and treatment responses of patients from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

As a non-physician, he engaged in public education and exchange with affected individuals about alternative treatment pathways.

Recognition Denied: Thousands of patients with severe Post-Vac symptoms are still not taken seriously by authorities and doctors, despite achieving measurable treatment success in Larnaca.

Cost Barrier: The lack of insurance coverage for treatment costs forces affected patients to spend their savings on life-saving therapies, which is deeply socially unjust.

Duty to Inform: Patients were inadequately informed about possible side effects during vaccination, effectively undermining their informed consent.

Lack of Political Will: There is a lack of political courage to openly acknowledge the harms of the vaccination campaign, as this would have far-reaching legal and financial consequences for states and manufacturers.

Community of the Affected: The international networking of Post-Vac patients and alternative treatment centers emerged out of necessity because the official healthcare system failed them.

The pictured Vincenza Trivigno (slightly misspelled in the text) assumed the role of Director of the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, Swissmedic, in January 2026. Contrary to claims that she is a lawyer, she is an economist by training and later earned an Executive Master of Business Law from the University of St. Gallen.

During the pandemic, the agency (then still under the leadership of her predecessor Raimund Bruhin) was under constant political and societal pressure.

Critics from conservative circles and the business sector accused the agency of acting far too slowly in approving COVID-19 vaccines compared to the U.S. (FDA) or the UK.

Conversely, opponents of measures and vaccine skeptics sharply criticized Swissmedic for approving mRNA vaccines at all and allegedly not monitoring safety risks strictly enough.

Furthermore, the authority faced criticism for a lack of transparency, as contracts with vaccine manufacturers and detailed review reports were withheld from the public for a long time.

The temporarily restrictive stance on alternative treatment methods or the slow approval of medications for COVID therapy also sparked recurring discussions in professional and political circles.

Elisabeth Baume-Schneider is a Swiss Social Democrat and has been a Federal Councillor since January 2023, heading the Federal Department of Home Affairs (EDI), which also includes the Federal Office of Public Health.

As head of the EDI, she is responsible for Switzerland's health policy and thus oversees the institutional review of pandemic measures, the revision of the Epidemics Act, and the care for those affected by Long-Covid and Post-Vac.

She took over the department at a time when the most important political decisions regarding the pandemic had already been made, but she bears responsibility for their long-term consequences.

Accountability for Review: As head of the EDI, she is responsible for ensuring that the mistakes of pandemic policy are thoroughly and ruthlessly reviewed, without sparing political allies.

Vaccine Injury Fund: Those affected by recognized Post-Vac injuries are still waiting for clear government compensation; she is obligated to create a transparent and accessible compensation framework.

Structural Reforms: The pandemic has exposed glaring weaknesses in the Swiss healthcare system—from digitalization to crisis preparedness—which must be addressed under her leadership.

WHO Negotiations: She represents Switzerland in international pandemic negotiations; critics demand that she uncompromisingly defend direct democracy and state sovereignty against WHO representatives.

Transparency: The full disclosure of contracts with vaccine manufacturers, advisory protocols, and internal agency documents from the pandemic period is overdue and must be actively pursued by her.

Dr. Katarzyna Jesse is a cardiologist at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

During the pandemic, she worked at the intersection of cardiac care and COVID-19-associated heart complications such as myocarditis and thromboembolic events.

As a specialist in an academic setting, she is embedded in a scientific network that systematically monitors the long-term clinical effects of COVID-19 infection and vaccination.

Myocarditis Monitoring: Cases of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination must be carefully tracked cardiologically to detect and treat long-term heart damage early.

Risk Stratification: A differentiated risk stratification by age and pre-existing conditions would have been necessary before recommendations for widespread vaccination, even for heart-healthy adolescents, were issued.

Reporting Obligation: The willingness of doctors to report cardiac vaccine side effects was insufficient, leading to a systematic underreporting of heart damage in official pharmacovigilance data.

Long-Term Course: There is a lack of valid long-term data on cardiological outcomes after mRNA vaccination, which continues to complicate evidence-based treatment recommendations for affected patients.

Research Needs: The mechanisms leading to vaccine-associated heart diseases are not yet fully understood; more independent research is urgently needed to ensure long-term patient safety.

Andrea Staubli runs her own practice for mediation, coaching and legal counselling in Remetschwil, Canton of Aargau. She has a strong legal background and spent around 20 years as a presiding judge at the Baden district court in civil, family and child-protection law.

As a certified SDM mediator, she is strongly committed to conflict resolution and served for years as president of the Swiss Umbrella Association for Mediation.

In her practice, she supports clients in a practical, resource-oriented way through processes of change, reorientation and personal decision-making.

Criticism of school closures: School closures and remote learning severely restricted the right to education. They demonstrably caused psychological strain and significant learning setbacks in many children and adolescents.

Restriction of fundamental rights: Widespread lockdowns, curfews and visiting bans in care homes deeply infringed on personal freedom. These measures often socially isolated vulnerable people for months at a time.

Economic disruption: Government-ordered business closures pushed numerous SMEs and cultural workers into existential financial crises. Despite state aid, long-term economic damage remained.

Social division: The introduction of country-specific certificate requirements (such as the 2G/3G rules) temporarily excluded unvaccinated people from public life. This led to deep polarisation within the population and in private circles.

Lack of proportionality: Critics argue in retrospect that many emergency ordinances were decided without sufficiently sound scientific evidence and by bypassing ordinary democratic legislative processes.

Patrick Fischer is a Swiss politician without party affiliation who became known for his legal work and political advocacy for civil rights.

He publicly opposed COVID measures and was involved in networking critics of measures and vaccines in Switzerland.

As an independent, he seeks to mobilize citizens across party lines who consider state interventions in fundamental rights disproportionate.

Protection of fundamental rights: In his view, the restriction of fundamental freedoms such as freedom of movement, assembly, and occupational freedom was not justified by the course of the pandemic.

Democratic deficit: Important decisions about lockdowns and vaccination campaigns were made without sufficient public participation and parliamentary debate, contradicting Swiss democratic principles.

Independent judiciary: He criticizes that Swiss courts barely effectively scrutinized state measures during the pandemic, and lawsuits by affected parties systematically failed.

Media failure: In his opinion, mainstream media uncritically supported state pandemic policies and stigmatized critical positions instead of fulfilling their societal watchdog role.

Political reckoning: He calls for a complete and independent review of pandemic measures, free from the political self-interest of those who made the decisions.

Dr. Martin Wucher is a dentist and biologist with a research background, working, among other places, in Namibia.

He takes an interdisciplinary approach to immunology and the biological foundations of infectious diseases and their treatment.

During the pandemic, he voiced critical positions on the COVID-19 vaccination strategy and advocated for alternative treatment approaches and a more comprehensive scientific debate.

Dental findings: As a dentist, he observed increased mucosal changes and inflammations in patients post-vaccination, which he associates with the systemic effects of the Spike-Protein.

Immunological overreaction: In his assessment, mRNA vaccines can trigger an excessive immune response that attacks healthy tissue and promotes autoimmune processes.

Research freedom: The restriction of scientific discourse due to financial dependencies and institutional pressure has prevented an unbiased evaluation of vaccine safety.

Long-term risks: Long-term studies on the safety of the novel mRNA technology were not available at the time of mass vaccination, making responsible use impossible.

Regulatory failure: Regulatory authorities used emergency approval to bypass crucial safety checks, which in his view represents a serious breach of medical due diligence.

Philippe Kruse (lic. iur. / LL.M.) is a Swiss lawyer from Zurich, considered one of the key legal figures in the Swiss movement critical of measures and vaccinations.

He represents numerous affected individuals, filed complaints against the Covid-19 measures, and filed a criminal complaint against the regulatory authority Swissmedic.

His work includes both individual case representations and strategic lawsuits aimed at having the legal proportionality of state pandemic measures reviewed by the courts.

Andreas Kalcker is a German-Spanish biophysicist and entrepreneur, active in Switzerland, among other places, with Medalab Swiss GmbH.

He is known as a prominent advocate of chlorine dioxide (CDS/MMS) as a universal therapeutic and has published several books on the subject.

His claims about the efficacy of chlorine dioxide are rejected by mainstream medicine and health authorities; he publicly promoted his views during the pandemic as an alternative to officially recommended treatments.

Chlorine Dioxide Efficacy: He claims that chlorine dioxide (CDS) is effective against SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens and has been successfully used in several Latin American countries.

Authoritarian Suppression: He attributes the strong rejection of chlorine dioxide by health authorities and the pharmaceutical industry to economic interests seeking to suppress an affordable, non-patentable therapy.

Vaccine Composition: Based on biophysical analyses, he asserts that Covid-19 vaccines contain undeclared substances he classifies as potentially harmful.

Self-Determination: Every individual should have the right to decide which therapies to use without government bans, which he believes primarily serve pharmaceutical interests.

International Network: He has built a global network of doctors and activists who use and document chlorine dioxide, which he considers evidence of the substance's practical efficacy.

Remy Wyssmann is a Swiss lawyer and politician of the SVP (Swiss People's Party), who sits in the National Council for the Canton of Solothurn.

He is one of the most prominent parliamentary critics of Covid-19 measures in Switzerland and submitted numerous motions for a parliamentary review of pandemic policy.

As a lawyer, he advocates for the rights of individuals whose economic livelihoods or fundamental rights were restricted by pandemic measures.

Unconstitutionality: He criticizes that Switzerland's Covid measures violated core constitutional rights and were enforced under emergency law without sufficient parliamentary legitimacy.

Parliamentary Oversight: During the pandemic, the Federal Council governed via emergency law to such an extent that it bypassed democratic parliamentary control and weakened the rule of law.

Review: He demands a comprehensive parliamentary review of pandemic decisions, including disclosure of the scientific basis for recommendations.

WHO Sovereignty: The transfer of competencies to the WHO through new pandemic agreements threatens national sovereignty and the principle of direct democracy in Switzerland.

Vaccine Injury Compensation: Those affected with proven vaccine injuries are abandoned by the state; they demand a clear legal compensation framework and state liability.

Ardan M. Saguner is Senior Consultant Cardiologist and Head of Ventricular Tachycardia at the Heart Center of University Hospital Zurich. He is an internationally recognised cardiology specialist with a strong focus on academic electrophysiology.

His medical expertise includes catheter ablation of arrhythmias as well as the implantation of modern pacemakers and defibrillators. Scientifically, he focuses intensively on genetic heart diseases, ion channel disorders and research into sudden cardiac death.

Psychological effects on children: Political COVID measures such as prolonged lockdowns and school closures caused severe psychological strain on children and adolescents worldwide, as well as deep social divisions.

Crisis communication: The crisis communication of many governments and authorities came under strong criticism for lack of transparency, contradictory guidance, and the temporary marginalisation of alternative scientific voices.

Economic consequences: Economically, the pandemic-related restrictions caused a global supply-chain crisis, existential fears within the middle class, and massive public debt from state rescue packages.

Vaccination campaigns: In the area of vaccination campaigns, the initial political pressure, the inadequate handling of vaccine side effects, and the legal immunity of pharmaceutical companies were sharply criticised.

Long and post-COVID: The phenomenon of long and post-COVID still confronts healthcare systems with immense challenges today, as diagnostic and treatment approaches for chronically ill patients remain incomplete.

Phil Ruch-León is an entrepreneur, father of two children and has been a politician for over 20 years – and is now himself affected by Long Covid. As president of Justice & Family Law Supervision Switzerland, he oversees family law as well as Switzerland's external relations, particularly with the EU and its treaties.

He has now also committed himself to the review of the Corona situation in Switzerland: he demands that clarification take place for the public and that the topic not simply be swept under the rug.

The numbers for Long Covid, Post-Vac or ME/CFS are skyrocketing in Switzerland and worldwide, while the approval of modern mRNA vaccines in Switzerland has still not been halted – which is why he sees a need for fact-based clarification.

Dr Marco Leitzke is a physician at Helios Klinik Leisnig and a researcher at Leipzig University.

In March 2025 he published study results on Long Covid together with his research group at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Nuclear Medicine of Leipzig University Hospital. The work focuses on severe courses and persistent symptoms as well as on the use of nicotine patches.

The lecture is from the hybrid information event held on 14 August 2025 at Helios Park-Klinikum Leipzig.
