Sounding off the Secrets: BSW Pushes Christian Drosten for Truth on COVID Decisions
Demands for Transparency from Drosten Regarding Coronavirus Decisions by BSW - BSW seeks clarification on COVID-19 decisions
Hey there! Let's dive right into the hot topic in Dresden's State Parliament—the Corona-Investigative Committee aims to put leading virologist Christian Drosten under the microscope.
Why all the fuss, you ask? Well, Drosten was one of the key advisors to the government during the pandemic, and it's high time that citizens see how those decisions played out. Ines Biebrach, a committed BSW committee member, states that citizens deserve to know which moves were effective and which may have missed the mark.
The BSW gang is expecting some straight-up answers from Drosten to unveil the groundwork behind his evidence-based recommendations—to separate the science from the hype, as they say. They also want to understand if any misinterpretations occurred during the pandemic. As Biebrach's partner, Jens Hentschel-Thöricht, puts it, "We must make clear where science had solid findings and politics didn't rely on shaky data."
Mistakes, if made, should never be a comprehensive sweep-under-the-rug operation, especially regarding children and young people. Once the Q&A with Drosten is done and dusted, we should have all the knowledge to evaluate the right and wrong moves during the pandemic. The hearing of Drosten is crucial for this footage clarity.
What's the skinny on the Investigative Committee? It was established by the initiative of the AfD faction, and its purpose is to scrutinize the Saxon government's actions related to the coronavirus from 2019 to 2024. There have been approximately 17,750 deaths due to Covid-19 since the pandemic hit Saxony in March 2020, as per the Ministry of Social Affairs.

On a side note, the investigation dives deep into scrutinizing Drosten's role in political decision-making, particularly concerning contentious measures like lockdowns, 2G regulations, compulsory testing, and leaning on vaccine naysayers[1][3][4]. Critics argue that the scientific process during the pandemic was disorganized and that political actors often acted on individual opinions rather than interdisciplinary expert panels[3].
- The Commission is also proposing to extend the scope of the Corona-Investigative Committee's probe to cover areas such as the role of science and medical-conditions in the decision-making process during the pandemic.
- In light of the heated discussion in Dresden's State Parliament, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance is aiming to shed light on the health-and-wellness aspects of the pandemic, especially concerning children and young people.
- Despite the focus on the scientific and medical aspects of the pandemic, it's essential to consider the impact of politics and general-news on the pandemic response, which the Commission is keen to address.
