Swiss official body BAG confirms that risk of death from Covid just as high for vaccinated
"There are almost only unvaccinated people in the intensive care units," the head of the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) Anne Lévy falsely declared in an interview last weekend and also promoted 2G regulation – a regulation that Lévy said a few weeks ago would be out of the question.
Published: December 18, 2021, 10:08 am
“In view of the increasing numbers, we can’t get around it,” Lévy told the Ringier media group last weekend, pointing out that the 2G regulation offers vaccinated and tested persons “a bit of security”.
These statements are peculiar simply because the data on which the BAG relies do not speak in favor of safety and efficient vaccination protection.
It is also known why the “number of cases” has risen massively again recently: Test capacities have been massively expanded over the past year and a half, as has been the case before each lockdown.
Regarding Lévy’s statement that there are almost only unvaccinated in the hospitals: If one looks at the incomplete data from the FOPH, it shows that more unvaccinated Covid patients have recently been hospitalized. The 7-day average on December 12 was 46.5 among the unvaccinated and 19.7 among the vaccinated patients.
The only problem is that the FOPH does not have the data to support this statement. A look at the numbers in the FOPH’s weekly situation reports makes it clear: The Swiss health authority only knows the vaccination status of around two thirds of all patients who have been hospitalized in connection with Covid-19 in the past few months.
The BAG was therefore asked about Anne Lévy’s false statements in view of this omission. How could she maintain that almost only unvaccinated Covid patients are currently in hospitals without supporting data? The BAG responded on Thursday:
“The FOPH has been recording the vaccination status since the end of January 2021. On January 30, 2021, the proportion of hospitalizations with an unknown vaccination status was 77.6 percent (7-day average). Meanwhile (data status December 9, 2021) the proportion of hospitalizations with an unknown vaccination status is 16.4 percent (7-day average). Averaged over the entire period from January to December 2021, the FOPH does not know the vaccination status of 32.5 percent of hospitalizations in connection with a Covid-19 infection, but this mainly reflects the situation in the first half of the year, when only 40 percent of the total population had at least one dose,” said BAG press spokesman Daniel Dauwalder. He simply ignored the actual question.
What about mortality?
It is noteworthy that, unlike the number of hospitalized people, the number of deceased Covid patients is quite telling. There was no difference in vaccination status in patients who had died from or with Corona. In absolute numbers, roughly the same number of vaccinated and unvaccinated patients recently died. What does the FOPH say about this?
“The data show that the risk of death for the limited number of people who are admitted to hospital despite complete immunization is similar to the risk of death for those who have not been immunized,” according to Dauwalder, citing data from CH-SUR monitoring program. This documents the course of hospitalizations in connection with SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Dauwalder nevertheless claimed that the risk of hospitalization was greatly reduced for fully vaccinated people and he relied on the arguments made by BAG. The authority maintains that the percentage of those who have not been vaccinated is significantly lower, so the absolute numbers among those who have been vaccinated are higher. It may be a possible explanation. Nonetheless, the current booster campaign raises a number of questions.
A look at the age groups reveal that in the age group of over 80s, more vaccinated than unvaccinated Covid patients recently died in absolute numbers. According to the FOPH, 53 fully vaccinated and 45 unvaccinated Covid patients died between December 6 and 12. At the same time, people in the over 80 age category have by far the highest vaccination rate – around 93 percent are fully vaccinated. The question arises as to how the BAG interprets these figures that clearly contradict their public stance.
Furthermore, an excess mortality has been evident since the start of the booster campaign from calendar week 44. Since then, around 1000 more people have died than would have been statistically expected. How is this excess mortality to be assessed?
Many Swiss hospitals only test unvaccinated admissions. As a result, hospitals register more unvaccinated Covid patients. It has also long been known that a positive PCR test can give false positive results. When asked about this, the BAG did not seem eager to pursue the issue: “The test strategy of hospitals are carried out by the cantons and BAG cannot comment on it. However, recording vaccination status is independent of the test strategy.”
The irony remains that the FOPH has not stopped advertising boosters because Covid deaths (in absolute numbers) are not prevented through vaccination. Regarding the number of Covid deaths (in absolute numbers), vaccination status does not play a role at all.
This raises the legitimate question of whether the jab protects against a serious course of the disease at all, as Swiss authorities repeatedly have claimed.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

First visit here for me. I like your work. Best reporting in English on Germany.
We know masks don’t protect against a virus and the shots don’t work so what is the motive behind the COVID hysteria? What are the world governments preparing for?
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects.

MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.
