Corona-Enquete: Experten fordern Datenreform - Streit um Impfnebenwirkungen hält an - Nr.: 9066

·11 min·1 clip

Experts demand a data overhaul for future crises while key COVID-19 vaccine side effect data remains locked away.

The episode opens by introducing the topic of the Corona Enquete commission in the German Bundestag. Experts, including former RKI president Professor Lothar Wieler, argue that during the pandemic, data on disease severity, healthcare system strain, and vaccine effectiveness was fragmented and delayed. They recommend data linkage, automation, and less restrictive data protection for better future crisis management. Other professors like Christian Karagiannidis and Maria Wehreschild support these views, emphasizing the need for less bureaucracy and more digital infrastructure. The episode then shifts to a conflict within the commission: AfD health politician Kai-Uwe Ziegler states that the majority refused to request unpublished raw data on vaccine side effects from the SafeVac app, despite earlier promotions of the app for safety monitoring. The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) did not provide a concrete timeline for responding to related inquiries. Meanwhile, AfD MP Dr. Christina Baum announces that the Bundestag health committee unanimously approved a hearing to reevaluate mRNA vaccine policies, potentially aiming for withdrawal of approvals. The episode cites a PEI report from December 2024, detailing over 350,000 suspected side effect cases from nearly 200 million COVID-19 vaccine doses, including thousands of serious and fatal cases, though causality is not confirmed. Former health minister Karl Lauterbach noted that reported cases alone don't prove causation. The conflict extends to Thuringia, where AfD MP Wiebke Mussall reports that her proposal for a written hearing on data transmitted by the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVT) to the PEI was rejected. She accuses the majority of ignoring minority rights and questions the commission's credibility. BSW representative Matthias Herzog offers a different perspective, explaining that the rejection was for organizational reasons, as topics were already being handled in working groups, and the AfD's request disrupted agreed processes. He also notes procedural uncertainties regarding the vote count and admissibility. The episode concludes by highlighting the ongoing disputes over data transparency and political procedures in both federal and state commissions.
