Órgão de saúde da Alemanha confirma que a pandemia foi uma “fraude”
Publisher’s rating: CONTEXTUALIZANDO
The review says leaked RKI records do not indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic was a “fraud,” contrary to claims based on a Die Weltwoche article.

Duitsland heeft momenteel een oversterfte van 37% als gevolg van vaccinaties.
Publisher’s rating: Nee, Duitsland kampt momenteel niet met een oversterfte van 37 procent. De meest recente cijfers van het Duitse instituut voor statistiek, over juni 2024, wijzen op een oversterfte van 1 procent. De dominee gaf de preek in februari 2023; toen was er een oversterfte van minder dan 0 tot 2 procent, variërend per bron en referentieperiode. Waar er sprake is van oversterfte, wordt die niet veroorzaakt door de vaccinatiecampagne tegen Covid-19, waar het filmpje en de Facebookpost op doelen.
