1. Thread about this Welt story from early Feb It's about how Seehofer, German Minister of Interior, pressured epidemiologists at RKI (=German CDC) & other scientists to come up with a scary modelling study that would justify extending the 1st lockdownhttps://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/plus225868061/Corona-Politik-Wie-das-Innenministerium-Wissenschaftler-einspannte.html?cid=onsite.onsitesearch …

9. This paper included very revealing speculation, about how Germany might be shocked into compliance. People had to be confronted with terrifying triage scenarios, according to which their relatives would be denied admission to hospital and die suffocating at home.pic.twitter.com/lMd7vQVGKS

10. Interior ministry bureaucrats were involved at every point of work on the fake modelling study. At the same time, the researchers themselves, in the leaked emails, constantly express political opinions.

11. Markus Söder, the Bavarian Ministerpräsident and die-hard Corona enthusiast, "is intuitively right," one of them says. "We must balance this growing feeling of powerlessness with the impression of strong state intervention."pic.twitter.com/DTOFWoCStO

12. Some of the researchers thought an RKI model, putting the Corona IFR at 0,56%, was too low. They thought this number should be arbitrarily doubled in order to create pressure for more repressive containment measures, and also according to a "precautionary principle."pic.twitter.com/x7VW6BZgzS

15. More still: Throughout the correspondence, it is obvious to see that "China" is a frequent object of discussion, but the word "China" is apparently in every case redacted.

16. Key public health doctrines about Corona were forged in mid- late-March, by international agencies like the WHO, government officials, and cowed scientists. What is being sold to you as Scientific Consensus is sloppy propaganda intended to justify mass containment.

Any evidence that they called on Ferguson for support?

They didn‘t call on Ferguson personally, as far as I know, but they were advised by a mysterious junior (German) assistant professor in China, Maximilian Mayer, who promoted the Imperial College model as the „gold standard“ in modelling.
