THE DEFENDER — The CEO of one of Germany’s largest health insurance companies was abruptly fired last month after he released data suggesting German health authorities are significantly underreporting COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
The data, released by Andreas Schofbeck of BKK/ProVita, have since been scrubbed from the company’s website.
Schofbeck, who noticed an unexpected jump in vaccine-related health insurance claims, in February notified the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) — the German equivalent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — that BKK billing data indicated the PEI was underreporting adverse events to COVID vaccines.
In his letter to the PEI, Schofbeck wrote:
“If these figures are extrapolated to the whole year and to the population in Germany, probably 2.5-3 million people in Germany have received medical treatment for vaccination side effects after Corona vaccination.”
Dr. Dirk Heinrich, chairman of NAV-Virchow Bund, an association of private medical practitioners in Germany, said PEI and BKK would be working closely to examine the billing code data. Heinrich also stated that the conclusions from Schofbeck’s letter are “complete nonsense.” […]
The Bundestag is at the moment considering a vaccine mandate (Impfpflicht) as part of the debate about whether to extend the authority of government to impose COVID restrictions — it seems the latter is certain to pass; an Impfpflicht is less certain, but it appears to have a good chance, as all coalition partners seem to generally favor it, especially Karl Lauterbach (SPD), the Bundesgesundheitsminister.
An existing vaccine mandate for most healthcare workers is still very controversial; there are ongoing protests against it.
