A group of concerned doctors can no longer agree with the current corona measures on the basis of the doctor's oath or vow and ask for an open and free dialogue about the goals and arguments below.
According to the doctors, this should take place with a broad representation from society, clearly visible, respectful, unbiased and based on the correct data. We make this appeal with all due respect for the rapid action during the start of the pandemic and with compassion for the sick and relatives of those who have passed away.
Goal 1: Remove the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the list A of notifiable diseases.
Statement: COVID-19 does not appear to be more dangerous or deadly than other flu viruses.
More than 98% of people do not or hardly get sick when infected. The average mortality is now estimated at 0,3% and is probably lower.
Goal 2: Scale down the measures and return to 'normal' as soon as possible
Statement: The current corona measures cause more damage than they try to prevent.
The collateral damage in social, economic, physical and psychological areas is enormous and is disproportionate to the intended or necessary protection against the virus.
Goal 3: Lifting restrictions on freedoms and fundamental rights.
Statement: The threat of the virus no longer justifies restrictions on freedoms and fundamental rights.
Vulnerable persons deserve extra attention. Measures may only be applied in good consultation and on the basis of free choice. Where possible based on scientific evidence.
Goal 4: Creating clarity about the purpose of the measures.
Statement: The original goal (flattening the curve) has long been achieved.
In March, the policy was aimed at preventing overloading of hospital care. Now the policy seems to be aimed at preventing infections, with very far-reaching and long-term consequences. And based on a wrong test situation.
Goal 5: Discontinue the use of the PCR test in people who do not have flu symptoms.
Statement: Positive tests are misrepresented as 'contamination' and as 'outbreak'.
The PCR test should only be used to detect a virus in a sick person and is not suitable for detecting 'infections' in the general population.
Goal 6: Government policy should focus on health promotion.
Statement: current policy harms health more than it promotes or protects it.
The state of health plays a very important role in the course of an infection with COVD-19. The current 'fear of the virus', the one and a half meter measure and the face masks unnecessarily lower resistance, further increasing the risk of infections and other (chronic) disorders. There are many methods, including lifestyle, to increase resistance.

An impressive video that makes you think.
Finally a video that can make us all open our eyes.
No wappies, or prejudices, no, straight to the point.
Great video. I hope an eye-opener for many.
I don't understand why you posted this?
Come and have a look at the IC department of the UMCG in Groningen.
Never seen people of a young age in the ICU after a flu and then it concerns healthy young people.
I'm afraid you don't get the message. These doctors are not Corona deniers but they are concerned about the patients who don't have Corona, do you get it?
In addition, they call for not living in fear, because living in fear may be worse than COVID-19. In addition, anxiety (stress) seriously affects your immune system and you become even more susceptible to viruses.
And fear of catching Covid also means fear of going out, just doing your shopping and undermining consumer confidence (for now and the future). And that confidence is one of the most important predictors of economic recovery. The economy is not really recovering from large-scale government investment, nor from increased investment, but from growth in private spending.
With all this fear-mongering, we are ruining the recovery of the economy more than we think. And this in two ways: less income (varies per country, of course, depending on social security) and less or postponement of purchases.
Nice idea from these doctors, but the ICUs are flooded, which means that regular care is scaled down.
If we do not scale down that regular care, people will die from Covid-19 who should not have died.
Covid-19 may not be a more deadly disease than the flu, but our current healthcare system cannot handle the peaks in these waves.
People don't die because of the disease, but because of the lack of care.
It doesn't matter, the result is the same.
Perhaps the cause is that we have a severe shortage of ICs due to far-reaching cutbacks, but we now have to deal with Covid-19 first. After that or simultaneously we have to solve the IC problem.
Training ICU nurses, for example, takes 18 months.
And we can influence money needed for care with our voting behavior in the spring.
I am healthy and do not fall into a risk group. I have no objection at all to the current restrictive measures to spare care and to help older people survive this time.
Yes dude, it's all going well in Europe and the rest of the free, democratic, rational west where every opinion is equal.
Also always very nice in times of crisis when the gentlemen and ladies of the professors contradict each other and the rest of the population therefore knows exactly where they stand.
Hobbsian chaos is just around the corner.
Glad I'm in Thailand
Kudos to this collective of doctors!! I have the greatest respect for these doctors and scientists who keep their backs straight and dare to say that figures are being tampered with to create a culture of fear for the great reset where our fundamental rights are shamelessly thrown overboard. Klaus Schwaab looks like he walked out of a bad B movie, but these psychopaths have been preparing plans for years and are taking advantage of this pandemic to carry out their plans.
Completely true. Use your common sense along with your logic and your intuition.
Totally agree!!!
I would like to add one point : better protection of risk groups. Better protection of nursing staff through good face masks and regular (quick) tests. There are already breathalyzers that are 1% accurate.
And, very important, stop publishing daily numbers of infections without symptoms.
Not only the citizens are frightened too much by this, the responsible politicians are also too sensitive to this. As if their existence depends on falling numbers against which their measures do not help anyway. Viruses cannot be eradicated. So it was, so it is and so it will remain. Nothing new under the sun. This virus can be quite malicious, but that is no reason to disrupt the entire society, keep children out of school and silence people who are rightly critical.
It's just a choice: do you want to live in fear or not? It's that simple.
FromSydneyAustralia,
Totally agree. Please read, also check the website from Dr J Mercola,

To all readers in this Blog, Have a peaceful Christmas in mind and body.
And a more lucky and stable 2021.
Of course I am not a doctor and even less a virologist, but when I read the first statement under GOAL1 that Covid-19 is no more dangerous or deadly than other flu viruses, then the first real doubts already begin for me.
That in the beginning with this virus, because people only had an eye on the terrible images of Wuhan (China) and Bergamo (Italy), people may have overreacted in terms of measures, may well be true.
Only reacting even more incorrectly or not responding at all would have caused us many more infections and deaths, just like America, England, Sweden and even Italy, where the response was much too late.
Just as sowing fear and panic is not a good option to fight a virus, I also find the opinion of these doctors, who compare the virus to at least 90% of their colleagues, who clearly think differently about this, actually try to talk small .
In Germany, where people were still doing well compared to many other countries in Europe given the low infection rates in March 2020, there is now a threat of chaos in the ICU of many hospitals and the crematoriums are working at the highest level to process the number of deaths.
But many do not want all this to be true, and often search the entire internet for like-minded people, so that they are further strengthened in their opinion, and can further defend it.
Why not just listen to the doctors of the many ICU departments, who can say otherwise from their own experience, that it has nothing to do with a normal flu anymore.
I would not like to see the fear and stress and problems if too few measures or no measures at all would cause us to think first of all about the economic and human consequences if the health system collapsed as a result.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a healthy 2021/2564 and a hopefully better time.
