The evaluation report on the state corona measures was a settlement with the government and the RKI. Now there are doubts about the assessment. The criticism focuses on dubious personal details and unscientific methods.
The 160-page evaluation report of the Federal Government’s Expert Commission on the state corona measures was eagerly awaited last Friday. It should actually serve as a basis for possible measures in the fall. But instead of providing clarity, the report leaves many questions unanswered. And worse: There is criticism of dubious personnel decisions.
The committee consists of 18 experts. Half of them were occupied by the federal government and half by the Bundestag.

Another point of criticism: there is a complete lack of representatives from the fields of epidemiology and statistics.
Other personal details are causing a stir: First, Werner Bergholz, former professor of electrical engineering at Jacobs University Bremen. Bergholz was appointed to the committee by the AfD parliamentary group and apparently belongs to the lateral thinker scene, according to the analysis by “riffreporter”. Among other things, Bergholz had reported in a YouTube video about countless unknown vaccination deaths and about the fact that the vaccines were allegedly contaminated.

In addition to the 18 committee members, 20 other experts also contributed to the report. As “riffreporter” found out, some of them have links to initiatives close to lateral thinkers, including “Initiative Families”, “Another Future” and “
