Jan B. Hommel criticized Trouw for, in his opinion, only starting to investigate nearly six years later. He accused the newspaper of presenting itself as objective and highlighting both sides of the story but deemed that approach too late and insufficient. Hommel also criticized Agnes Kant, who, according to him, wanted to investigate the effects of mRNA vaccines. He wondered if Kant had previously stated that the side effects were manageable and claimed that Lareb had fallen short. According to Hommel, Kant's current stance showed that she poorly remembered her earlier statements. He expressed his aversion to the assertion that coronavirus vaccines were crucial for reducing the impact of the pandemic. Hommel said an article would soon be published that would, in his opinion, significantly nuance that assertion. As a meager consolation, he hoped that those involved had been vaccinated themselves. #mRNAvaccins #Trouw #coronavaccins (translated)

Jan B. Hommel stated that virologists Shi Zhengli, Ralph Baric, and Vincent Munster had conducted research on adding a furin cleavage site to a sarbecovirus. According to him, Munster, as far as known, only worked with pseudoviruses, while Shi and Baric collaborated on DEFUSE, a project by Peter Daszak for DARPA, since 2017. Hommel pointed out that a pandemic broke out in Wuhan in early 2020 with a sarbecovirus with such a cleavage site and called that a striking coincidence. He wrote that Marion Koopmans did not see a link between those matters and told that Shi had said during Koopmans' visit to Wuhan that he had nothing to do with the outbreak and had only been at the Huanan market. Hommel also criticized Maarten Keulemans, who according to him continued to defend Koopmans. #OriginOfCovid #COVID19 #Virologie #Pandemie (translated)

Thierry Baudet stated that people who appealed to freedom, tolerance, the rule of law, and the open society, in his view undermined those principles. He wrote that the outcome of a won referendum was ignored and that the possibility of organizing new referendums was subsequently abolished. He also said that his political party was not involved in coalition formation, was not allowed to appear in the media, and was systematically demonized. According to Baudet, a draft law had also been prepared to ban the party. He added that the publishing house that released the critical book *The Coronabedrog* won the NS Publieksprijs, but that the prize was not awarded and the procedure was then adjusted. Furthermore, Baudet wrote that the license of a broadcasting organization he founded was revoked and that there were attempts to find ways to close a school he established or to make future similar schools impossible. He asked what the concepts of democracy, rule of law, tolerance, and open society were still worth according to him. #democratie #vrijheid #toleren (translated)

FrauHodl wrote that the district administration Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis replied to her on October 15, 2026, regarding a request under the State Transparency Act for COVID-19 communication between the health department and the city of Speyer from 2020 to 2023, stating that no documents were available anymore. According to her, the authority cited reasons such as a cyberattack in October 2022, deletion periods for personal infection protection data, and the fact that former Corona scouts were no longer employed. FrauHodl emphasized that she had not requested any personal patient data, but rather official communication, scientific statements, protocols, decision papers, and information on medical consultants. At the same time, the administration stated that the Corona task force of the city of Speyer had worked independently and had its own health consultant. FrauHodl asked who this consultant was, who appointed him, and what recommendations and documents there had been. According to FrauHodl, the authority also stated that contact with virologist Prof. Dr. Isabella Eckerle, who is from Speyer, had "as far as can be traced" not occurred. She demanded information about which files were deleted, when, by whom, and on what legal basis, and which stocks had been searched. The response was not a satisfactory resolution for her and raised further questions about the authority's documentation and accountability. #Speyer #CoronaAufarbeitung #LTranspG #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis #CoronaAufarbeitung #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis (translated)

Dr. Bodo Schiffmann described that during the Corona pandemic he had to sit alone in a corner of a classroom behind a Plexiglas wall, which he had carried in himself in the morning and put away again in the afternoon. Even in winter, he often had to sit by an open window and was not allowed to wear a jacket. In physical education and on a running day in the woods, he had to run alone and at a distance from the group due to the lack of mouth-nose protection, he wrote. Schiffmann thanked Yukiko-Mathilda for her courage. What had been done to children would not be forgotten, even if many wanted to know nothing about it anymore, he added. He cited the session of the Bundestag Enquete Commission for the review of the Corona pandemic from October 12, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/6F8zuExUM3 https://t.co/uJo0aIn87e https://t.co/9bvHMrK3tQ #CoronaPandemie #Kinderschutz #Gedenken (translated)

In fact, it was considered a reproach that Sánchez said in an interview on Ser at the beginning of September that there were "sufficient arguments and reasons" for the King to "finally" do so, something he emphasized had not happened on the part of the Crown in 20 years, neither with PSOE nor PP presidents. #ReyesDeEspaña #Marruecos #CeutaYMelilla (translated)
