reThe Federal Ministry of the Interior recruited scientists from various research institutes and universities for political purposes in the first wave of the corona pandemic in March 2020. It commissioned researchers from the Robert Koch Institute and other institutions to create a model of calculation on the basis of which the Home Office, Horst Seehofer (CSU), wanted to justify tough crown measures.
This stems from more than 200 pages of internal correspondence between the Home Office management level and investigators, which WELT AM SONNTAG has received. A group of attorneys fought over email in a legal dispute with the Robert Koch Institute that lasted for several months.
In an e-mail exchange, the Secretary of State for the Home Office, Markus Kerber, asks the contacted investigators to develop a model from which “preventive and repressive measures” can be planned.
According to the correspondence, the scientists worked in close coordination with the ministry in just four days to develop the content of an article that had been declared secret and that was distributed through various media during the following days.
A “worst case scenario” was calculated according to which more than a million people in Germany could die from the coronavirus if social life continued as it was before the pandemic.
