Senta Depuydt - Saturday, December 17, 2022
By dint of perseverance, German analyst Tom Lausen has scored a major coup. After obtaining and analysing
data from the KVB, the association of health insurance companies with 72 million policyholders, and noting
the tenfold increase in 'sudden unexplained deaths' in 2021 and 2022, i.e. since the start of the Covid vaccination, the expert succeeded in raising his explosive dossier to the federal level. The press conference on 12 December, at which he presented the data showing that
the figures for deaths and various other illnesses are absolutely out of the ordinary, was followed by an interpellation in the federal parliament by opposition members. The majority parties are in the hot seat and are counter-attacking in force.
Interview with Tom Lausen:
Senta Depuydt: Hello Mr. Lausen, thank you for taking the time to answer me.
Tom Lausen:
Hello and thank you for sharing this information elsewhere in Europe, it is very important. I must admit that since the press conference and the questioning of MP Stichert, it has been quite intense. Yesterday the members of the Bundestag (the German federal parliament) spent more than an hour meeting within their parties to decide on the strategy to adopt in response to this scandal.
They are in a very embarrassing position, because the KVB data is really the most reliable data available. It consolidates the information from all doctors in Germany, except for the data from the hospitals.
S. D. That's an impressive figure, more than 72 million insured people! That's more than the whole of France. What a shock this must be for many MPs.
How can they survive the idea that the vaccines they have supported and promoted so wholeheartedly may have taken lives instead of saving them? As an individual and as a party, it is inconceivable.
T.L: Indeed. This led to more than an hour of heated discussions within the parties. Finally, at the end of their meetings, three politicians...well they made statements to discredit me. Dr. Wollman of the SPD called me a data falsifier. Then his colleague Engelhardt called me a charlatan and finally the CDU's Tino Sorge even managed to coin the term 'datensalafist'. So I am a 'data salafist'. That is the reaction of the politicians. And of course they managed to proclaim this loud and clear, on camera, in front of the whole of Germany.
S.D.: Wow, that's hot, but that's to be expected... And what did these three politicians base their statement on? Do they have any kind of expertise themselves?
T.L.: No, they have no expertise in this area. They didn't want to question me and most probably didn't even see the data, but they are personalities with a lot of political weight. This is just their way of counter-attacking. Of course I will react with my lawyer, but in the meantime
they have launched a lynch mob campaign to discredit my report. All this means that I am the one who has the ball. It's like in football, it's the player who dribbles that is attacked.
In fact, they are faced with several very awkward questions.
It is difficult for them to attack the data, as it was provided to me directly by an agency that has official status. They would like to say that it is not reliable, but the KVB data is really top notch. I think it must be one of the best databases on the planet. Furthermore, the Paul Erhlich and Robert Koch Institutes, which have a specific pharmacovigilance mission in the context of the Covid vaccination campaign, have not fulfilled their mission. They should have analysed and presented these data since the 2nd quarter of 2021 and they have done nothing.
S.D: oh yes, what a dilemma! Either their data is worthless, or it shows that their actions are a disaster.
T.L. (laughs): The only solution is to say that I'm talking nonsense. But that's ridiculous and they can't stop the information from flowing. Plus, what's really cool is that since I've made it public, all the guys like me, the analysts, have jumped on it and are digging through it to make their own articles and videos. There's a mathematician who has just checked it all out for himself by comparing my analysis with the source figures that the KVB has finally published on its website. And he has released an explanatory video that validates my methodology. So no, I didn't falsify anything, anyone can check that.
S.D.: Great! It's very important that we can compare them with the official source, because otherwise it's the first thing we'll attack. I know a lot of people who would certainly like to have a look at it.
T.L: Absolutely. In fact, I have developed a search module that generates a table and comparative figures from 2016 to 2021 for each diagnosis. If the values deviate from what is expected, there is a table that is generated. By entering a keyword or using the disease classification codes, you can instantly see if there is a significant increase in the disease in question compared to previous years.
In fact, I'll show you right now with myocarditis. In the cockpit of my module, we can instantly see if there is an increase in the number of cases compared to the years preceding the Covid vaccination. Just fill in the codes or even the word corresponding to a diagnosis. For example, for myocarditis these are the I codes. Let's take I40.
S.D.: Yes, it's very clear and congratulations for the tables which are really meaningful. We can clearly see that in 2021,
there is an excess for myocarditis which varies from 20% to 35% depending on the different forms of the disease. (Uberhang = excess compared to the 'expected' figure)
And we can even follow the trends with tables that show the evolutions per quarter. As far as myocarditis is concerned, it increases especially from the third quarter of 2021, which corresponds to the start of vaccinations for young people.
S.D Yes, it's really alarming.
I've heard many cardiologists talk about this. Most of them had only seen a few cases in their career and now they see almost one a week.
I hope that this will wake up a lot of people in Germany, especially doctors. On the other hand, your system might be complicated to use for researchers of other nationalities. I see that the keywords are in German and that the codes are based on a version of the WHO's International Classification of Diseases that is adapted to Germany, the ICD-10-GM
Didn't you think of contacting the European Medicines Agency?
T.L.: No, this has not been done yet. The main thing for me is to work with everything that is official in Germany. I interact with the German authorities and use German data. Presenting data from other countries works when it is to support government policy, for example if you want to push vaccination, but it is immediately discarded if it is to give a critical opinion.
S.D.: I understand, but it would still be important because it is in Europe that decisions are taken, marketing authorisation, purchase contracts, etc. The debate should be able to go back up the ladder to the European level. The debate should be able to go all the way back there. Moreover, it is likely to be complicated because the Member of Parliament who launched your dossier belongs to the Alternativ fur Deutschland group. I'm not in Germany and I don't do politics, but in Europe, AFD is considered an extreme right-wing party.
T.L.: Yes, I have thought about this a lot.
The problem is that this issue is so hot that nobody in a government or a political majority wants to take it on. The parties are not going to scuttle the issue. I have always wanted to avoid this party. But in this case, I thought that I really had something very important in my hands and that it had to be given maximum attention. I saw no other possibility than to approach the main opposition force to impose this debate at the federal level. But people have to understand that this is more than politics. It's their lives and their health that are at stake, and we can't go on without addressing this issue.
It's true, now I have an ugly label and other politicians will avoid me. I'm 'burnt', but it's a choice I don't regret. Even if this tactic costs me, at least it works!
S.D.: Thank you for these explanations. It is indeed complicated. With the pandemic, we have seen this phenomenon increase in most member countries, in France, Italy and elsewhere. The parties that call themselves democratic have adopted authoritarian policies and this ultimately pushes people towards extremes.
T.L.: It's true, but more and more people are reacting and feeling concerned, whatever party they belong to. And we are far from finished!
S.D.: I agree, that's why we are here. Thank you very much Tom. See you soon then.
A note about consultation and verification of data:
However, they are not easy to understand as they are
- the German system uses an adapted version of the international WHO codifications, called ICD-10-GM based on the WHO ICD-10. (Note that since January 2022, the WHO has introduced a new classification system CIM-11 or ICD-11 which is quite different).
- Tom Lausen has built a search module to make it easier to consult the data provided by the KVB with the official codes used in Germany. You can consult it from the cockpit of his module.
- The most interesting part is the tables in his powerpoint presentation which you can download here Download
- You can also see the press conference dubbed in French here
However, the key thing is to take the measure of what these figures reveal in a global way to demand a moratorium on Covid vaccines from the European Medicines Agency and our national authorities and to demand that they carry out similar checks.
.. Yeah that is really weird, didn't know all that. My gf and I were discussing why it might've taken her until now to "speak out" and all I thought of was, most of these medical people have their world view and idea of themselves SO wrapped up in the whole thing (vaccines good, trust The Science etc) that they're starting off a very long way from reality, so it could take a long time or a big shock for them to come out of their delusion.. Obviously that's ascribing them the best of intentions... Dunno what to make of it now.
