Written by an engineer, today's read offers a critique of legacy media gaslighting of one of the world's most insightful public health warriors--which is to say: the fourth estate is a gov't branch
Appeal against the abuse of science for political agitation
- on the activities of ÖAW employee Martin Tschiggerl
by Mag. phil. Ortwin Rosner
I'm guessing this was not so widely reported in Austria? Just as the Multipolar piece on Wodarg has limited reach for the domestic audience in Germany.
I'll see what I can do to get this some traction in Austrian 'alternative' media.
As to Mr. Tschiggerl, well, he's quite deep down the postmodern-esque and woke-fied rabbit holes of academia; if you can stomach it, check out his web profile at the ÖAW:
Easiest way to check if an academic is an impostor with limited credibility is: how honest these people are; my way of figuring this is out is twofold:
a) he lists being a visiting scholar at the U of Chicago as part of his CV; having been visiting faculty at an Ivy League College, I can assure you that these are quite different beasts, with the former typically funded by some non-US source; s/he who notes this correctly, is open about it (Tschiggerl isn't).
b) check the 'monograph' section of his publications; a 'monograph' means 'single-authored publication'; this being a (mostly) family newsletter, I cannot tell you what I think about Tschiggerl when I read something like this: '(co-authored with Thomas Walach and Stefan Zahlmann), Geschichtstheorie, Wiesbaden 2019.
My professional opinion, apart from the open letter: what a pathetically inflated CV, which I deem well worthy of the woke-infested mind. It's telling Tschiggerl works at the Institute for Culture (sic) Studies and Theater History, where one typically finds the weakest minds, to say nothing about methods, evidence, or reasoning.
Tomorrow is winter solstice and I wonder am I sensing a turning of the tide. The number of very senior medical professionals who are members of the mainstream but are daring to speak out much in stronger terms seems to be growing:
Dr Aseem Malhotra in the UK
Prof Shmuel C. Shapira in Israel
Dr Kerryn Phelps in Australia
Dr Masanori in Japan
Dr Joseph Ladapo in Florida, USA
I remain hopeful the new year will bring good tidings :)
Oh, the solstice, yes--we'll be outside lighting a bonfire (it's almost completely dark by 5 p.m., as we live in a narrow valley with very few street lights), hoping for another good view of the night skies.
I hope you're right about the tidings.
My own sense is that the Covid thing is no longer really useful for the powers that be, hence their (reluctant) 'willingness' to concede ground here or there. I remain wary of what else they have in store, though.
Thanks, Epimetheus. I had read this over at Multipolar, but always nice to read your translations ;)
What's tragically fascinating about Wodarg is that he was so right about the Swune Flu and the WHO/pharma shadiness! And yet this did not yield him the commensurate respect of an expert with a proven track record on such matters.
Contrast this with Lauterbach, who I privately and publicly have been calling a 'Hochstapler' (~conman) since he became a serial tv chat show guest, the press couldn't report enough of him. Somehow, Drosten and Lauterbach were the approved voices of reason!?
The level of groupthink an lack of journalistic standards is utterly mind-boggling. I mean this literally, I read so much about corona politics, statistics, media analysis, and the psychology of it all, and I cannot reconcile this departure from our previous norms.
I was fortunate enough to hear Dr Wodarg in those early months of the "pandemic", along with Dolores Cahill, James Corbett, Suchrit Bhakti and others, and was naive enough to believe that once people were told the "truth" the ongoing madness would cease! Why would anyone believe what an old fart like me is saying when the man on the telly says we are all going to die! Great article by the way.
Have you seen this open letter to the Austrian Academy of Sciences?

Huhum, I have not, thanks for letting me know.
