Dr. Franz Allerberger is a medical doctor and head of the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES). The German equivalent to this is the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).

In an approximately 90-minute video interview with the Ovalmedia series “Narrative”, the internationally recognized expert questions many government measures on the corona pandemic. Allerberger’s memorable central statement makes you prick up your ears:

The expert is also skeptical about the mandatory mouth and nose protection. According to him, the effect of simple cloth masks and surgical masks outside of homes and hospitals was not medical but political.

This would have “helped” to take pressure out of the public discussion, for example to maintain public transport. In addition, he emphasizes that many measures have mainly had a socio-political impact.

The expert condemns that basic medical care has been cut back and made dependent on PCR tests. He finds it unjustifiable that people in need of care had to get lonely in old people’s homes and die alone.
