Request for committee of inquiry: Ignored studies in RKI protocols
Request for committee of inquiry: Ignored studies in RKI protocols
In the course of the continued debate on the measures to combat Covid 19 pandemic, Alice Weidel, the AfD leader, has once again practiced sharp criticism of those responsible and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). At the heart of her criticism is the assertion that important studies that could have questioned decision -making processes could have been ignored. Weidel addresses these and other allegations in a recently published tweet.
The negligence of those responsible runs like a thread through all #rkiprotokolle . Whether mask obligation, vaccination or lockdown: studies that refuted decisions were ignored - if there were any. Investigation committee now! #deshaftafd #afd

allegations of negligence and ignorance
In her tweet,Weidel criticizes the supposed "negligence" of those responsible when dealing with scientific studies and data. She claims that critical studies that have refuted the measures such as mask obligation, vaccinations and lockdowns were either ignored or deliberately overlooked. Weidel raises these accusations against the background of the lack of transparency and traceability in the RKI protocols, which she portrays as inadequate and faulty.
claim for an committee of inquiry
Weidel urges the establishment of an investigation committee in her tweet in order to extensively check these matters. You and your party see this a necessary measure to take account of those responsible and create transparency. According to Weidel, this is necessary to restore the trust of citizens in state institutions.
reactions and context
The statements of Weidel are not new and seamlessly fit into the many years of criticism of the AfD of the measures for pandeme control. It sees this a confirmation of her position that the measures were covered and not sufficiently scientifically well -founded. Critics, on the other hand, accuse the AfD of populist mood makers and emphasize the need for the measures to contain pandemic, based on the best possible scientific knowledge at the time.
According to public RKI reports and scientific publications, the measures taken were decided on the basis of the data available and tested at the time. The discussion about the interpretation and use of this data remains controversial.FAZIT
The demand for an committee of inquiry reflects the polarized debate in society about the correct use of pandemic crises. Alice Weidel and the AfD rely on criticism and demand more transparency and traceability in political decisions. It remains to be seen whether a committee of inquiry is actually convened and what results of these could be promoted.
