In November of 2022, ZEIT published a longer piece on the case:

https://www.zeit.de/2022/47/corona-ausbruch-pflegeheim-impfpass-faelschung-ermittlung

- Allegedly, the forged vaccine certificates were given to her by her partner, who later died "with" Covid, at age 49.

- She wore N95/FFP2 masks all the time when at work (aren't the masks working wonderfully?).

- Conviction was deemed unlikely in case of trial because the investigators made all kinds of mistakes (maybe intentionally?).

- The piece ends thus: "Heike L. hat sich diesen Sommer gegen Corona impfen lassen. Die Nebenwirkungen waren milde." (Heike L. got vaccinated against Covid this Summer (2022). Side effects were mild.) All this after infection...

It's almost like the vaccine didn't protect the elderly victims. They should sue Pfizer.

Expand full comment

Well, isn't that the crucial point? If the prosecutors are claiming that if she had actually been vaccinated this would have protected the elderly women, weren't the latter already "protected" (allegedly) by their having been vaccinated? If not, the case for being vaccinated does not stand.

Expand full comment

It's important to make the distinction between protection against infection and protection against severe outcomes. The former has been shown to be bogus with these vaccines. The latter is anyone's guess (complex systems and all that), except Pfizer will hardly admit it.

Expand full comment

IT. IS. NOT. A. VACCINE.

Expand full comment

not in this case. The multiple vaccinated elderly people DIED. This result I would guess we can agree on was as you call it a "severe outcome". Thus there vaccine did absolutely nothing for them. Nothing, they died anyway, at least the 1 person did. So how would the outcome been different had this employee been vaccinated??? How about all the 10's if not 100's of thousands that died in these places?? This is an absurd witch hunt. It's simply the government imposing tyrannyon a person that didnt believe there lies. It's solely for "next time" when they put the boot to the throats of there citizens this person will be an example of what can happen to those who do not comply.

The substance didn’t come from Pfizer, or Moderna, or J&J, etc. The substance came from an outside contractor. That contractor probably paid Big Pharma handsomely.

Haven’t you ever wondered HOW it got to market so quickly? Big Pharma doesn’t even have the capabilities to do what was done, on such short timing, and for millions of people.

Thats because it was a military op. Pfizer and co were contracted to the DoD in USA. You can read the documents for yourself. See Katherine Watts, Sasha Laytova and Karen Kingston's respective Substacks. Its all outlined there.

I would really like to see a true accounting of which people in our government did not take the injection. We can be sure a lot of them did not.

I read about that. If true, it would explain a lot of things that just don't add up. Given my understanding it appears if the covid protecals including the shots are under the control of the DOD then safety, testing etc. are not required. Their edicts take precedence over everything.

No trials (which take years) were done. They all lied and hid information (why they didn’t want it released for decades).

Nevertheless, I caught the flu (or a Covid variant, who knows?) early Dec. 2022 and it was a DOOZY. With an uncomfortably long recouperation period and residual cough phase. At least now I know I am well inoculated against whatever variant of bug that was.

I believe it's the Rockefeller Foundation (or Institute) that was ultimately behind what's going on today, just as they were with the Spanish flu of 1918, due to the meningitis jabs originating from their labs. Strangely, the initial meningitis trials were performed by Dr. Frederick L. Gates, in Kansas, which is "ground zero," for where it all began. I can't find any relations to the Bill Gates family, but it's still a strange coincidence, nonetheless.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2126288/pdf/449.pdf

Further, since I've seen a repeated pattern of coded words, that goes far deeper than what I'm about to show, if one takes the "spell" off the words...

Rockefeller Foundation = Felon Oil Founder Racket.

Think Rockefeller and Standard Oil, Also, a felon is a criminal, and a racket is a scheme for profit, a fraud, or a swindle.

Lastly, the Rockefeller Foundation was formed in May 1913, and then the usury scam called the Federal Reserve Act was passed into law, later that same year.

I believe some beer brewers switched from brewing beer to brewing venom .The profit for making the latter is many times more than brewing beer .The vaxxes can be made out of next to nothing ,for example horse piss .No one knows what it is .Some claim it is lab made snake venom .Pfizer could not care less ,no one can sue them . It seems that most people don't care either ,since most of them could hardly wait to be jabbed .Only lately do some hesitate to get more boosters .The already jabbed now carry a time bomb in their body .Many Dr. s warn the poison is doing its silent work to destroy the body , shortly after injection or in month or years later .The immune system is damaged ,leaving the jabbed open for all kinds of illness .My I.Q. is below absolute zero ,but I was wise enough to avoid all injections or mis treatments from the medic mafia

There are no juries in Germany and the judges have been shown to be very partial on the corona topic, up to the highest court.

They never did protect anyone! The German government got exactly what they wanted, just like Canada.

The original virus from the Whuhan lab is the actual Bio Weapon. It did what they intended it to do. The jab is supposedly a counter-biological weapon to make Phizer, Moderna (USA) and Fosun (China) Yes, the USA DoD partnered and contracted with a Chinese Pharmecutical Company - this jab was designed to make them all filthy rich, and hero's to boot. Never mind the sweaty masses who died in the process.

However, they didn't count on all the peons talking so much about the deadly side-effects.

Can't sue Pfizer. But we can prosecute the government bureaucrats who indemnified Pfizer. Actually, fraud eliminates the indemnification, and there is increasing evidence of fraud. Just a matter of time before an ambitious lawyer stakes his career on it. They'll become wealthy beyond their wildest imagination.

She is guilty of forgery. Everything else is virtually unprovable and probably false. Furthermore, I thought the narrative now accepted that the vaccines don't prevent transmission- what difference would it have made?

Expand full comment

All the reasoning, including the distancing and the masking, seems to be around 'diminishing' viral loads i.e. exposure. While not quantifiable and abhorrently anti-scientific (being just a theory/hypothesis no-one seems to be interested in even really testing), it serves as the stick to hit people with. The uneducated judges rule on the basis of "it could have been possible the viral load would have been lower if (...), Hence you are guilty of taking risk and hence missy suffer the consequences". This woman will be punished in some way, so much is certain. It prob. won't be jail time, but it will have an effect, like a rep sheet (or however that's spelled).

In other news, former NY governor Andrew Cuomo, who ordered Covid+ patients to be moved INTO nursing homes during the first year of the pandemic, remains at large.

Expand full comment

this is a really crucial point. they did this in many places to free up hospital beds, it was an important early lockdown measure.

you're going to prosecute ordinary care home staff for doing their jobs, after directly sending the virus into nursing homes, killing untold thousands with ventilators, and all the other truly insane shit that went down during wave one lockdowns? gtfo.

Expand full comment

I was in a forum for critical care workers. By late March / early April 2020, 2 things were already widely known in that group of several hundred front line staffers:

1- Comorbidities were HIGHLY correlated with severity / death. The more you had, the worse your prospects.

2- If you were placed on a vent, you had about a10% chance of survival.

Weeks later, Trump and Cuomo held a press conference to announce an initiative to crank out more...

Ventilators.

My first response was, "So they can kill more people? Or are they retarded?"

Never reached a conclusion on that.

Expand full comment

I'm going to go with UNDER INFORMED and ILL ADVISED (By some CV-19, WEF, co-conspirators in the DoD perhaps?) And too quick on the draw. Trump wanted to gain respect as a man of decision and action. He wanted what was best for the USA, and the US to be the country that found "The Cure" to a world-wide epidemic.

But at that point, except for a few highly specialized Virologists - *no one really knew* what were the Best Practices as this virus acted differently than any preceding it

(And why I will always say CV-19 was a hybrid, man-made, virus straight out of a lab! All part of the overall scheme. Do you remember the SARS Breakout in the Middle East around 2013 during the Obama Administration? The SAME people - the same MO, but that was a test-run)

Remember, Trump was a Businessman - NOT a politician. It was his admin that was hammered w/ the initial outbreak. I am quite sure neither politician ever understood the implications of putting a Covid patient on a ventilator - and no one was about to educate them.

Here's another "I WONDER" - TRUMP SENT A SPECIAL NAVY HOSPITAL SHIP OVER TO NYC in early 2020 (when the panic was starting to rise, thanks to the media) so Cuomo could put the Known cases under quarantine and special care by Navy Docs and nurses.

CUOMO DIDN'T SEND one patient there for specialized care! I can remember very clearly, the mainstream news showing this empty Hospital ward ...... on this magnificent, fully-staffed, Navy ship! Cuomo instead sent these very ill people to NURSING HOMES FILLED WITH ALREADY OLD, SICK PEOPLE.....

Now what was THAT all about?

"So they can kill more people? Or are they retarded?"

Both. Thank God, both Trump and Cuomo are no longer in power.

Just as bad in Canada: in early 2020, the fear porn meant that nursing home workers abandoned their jobs. People in some of these homes died of neglect with the armed forces called in to clean up the aftermath. I don't think anyone was charged over the tragedy.

In southern California and in Spain, the entire staff of care homes just abandoned the residents and here in Detroit, our mayor Duggan, who I used to like until he started licking WEF posteriors to make Detroit a green cities hub, had to call in Doctors without Borders as the nursing homes are owned by private equity and did absolutely nothing for their workers or residents. This criminal case does sound like a show trial. If the [minced oath] had feigned a scabies outbreak, they could've saved all the people with ivm. Polypharmacy is a huge issue in the private equity run nursing homes of America, where the captive elderly have huge numbers of pills sluiced down their throats, but no vitamin D or healthy food or exercise. Elder care here is a big franchise. I saw an ad in a Southwest airlines magazine for investment in what I called an Alzheimer's Disneyland, franchising petting zoos and faux farms and old fashioned soda shops to take the demented on on field trips.

This poor woman, how totally [minced oath] unfair.

Were the care home residents vaccinated? Of course they were. BUT they died from/with the 'virus' (or the vaccine). Vaccine seems very effective then doesn't it??? "She is alleged to have been infected without noticing" - So the UNVACCINATED care home worker had such a mild case that she didn't even realize it. The vaccinated died! Why then is she responsible for their deaths? UNBELIEVABLE. I have spoken to a small funeral operator that knows of 100's of elderly people that died within 2 weeks of vaccination. Govt says they died of covid. Pfff.

I'll tell you why they're really charging her. Because she had the gall to be disobedient to "authority".

My partner and I have been together for 18 years. And we've never had a cold at the same time. Of course, it never occurred to any of us to isolate from the other if one of us was under the weather.

I am with you. But I feel I should mention this exposure incident I had around 2017 before the plandemic, before the masks, everything.... I flew to see my grandchild in her high-school play. The auditorium was over-crowed and filled with crying, sneezing, wiggling, sniffling, coughing younger siblings also in the audience. (apparently, in their town no one knows what a BABYSITTER is) Despite arming myself with extra zinc, vit. C, D, more liquids, extra sleep, etc. before and during the trip, It took around 9-10 days and I was back at home sicker-than-a-dog with a nasty flu and laryngitis.

It was miserable and I got over it in time, no life-altering events (except lost time)

My point is, I am pretty darn sure that I picked up my bug in that warm, crowded, high school auditorium; although it could have been a virus on the airplane(s) as well. I will never know - but the timing was perfect (around 9 days) for it to be the young-child-infested auditorium. It certainly was CLOSE PROXIMITY caused.

I worked in a nursing home during a college summer break. It was rewarding, but very challenging work. Everyone there worked very hard for minimal pay. Living paycheck to paycheck, they needed their jobs and understandably likely would have done anything to keep them, including faking a vaccination.

The world has gone mad. Honest data and science have gone by the wayside in favor of unfounded mandates, blame and cruelty. This is not the type of world I wish for us or for future generations.

I know of so many people that have used a fake vaccine card. They were very easy to make as a model of the official one could be downloaded. If you printed it the correct size and on 120lb stock paper, printed both sides, it was easy to fake. No one ever gave more than a quick glance at the card, and no one could do any sort of verification check if if they wanted to. The vax injection sites in the beginning were a confused mess....tents in parking lots, sign a liability paper, get a quick jab, drive away. People were sloppy with records. It might be harder in Europe if things are digitized there, but where I was, everything was rushed and written by hand by the injection health worker.

My daughter is a nurse in a rehab type facility that also takes care of the people who are too old and weak to live alone any more. She got a religious exemption very easily, she only had to ask for it. She worked in several different facilities over the past 3 years and there simply was not much covid caused death, if any. People entered the hospitals in very bad shape, and they were expected to die relatively soon within t he year. They had all sorts of other health issues that were responsible for sending them to their maker. Covid illness (supposedly) swept through many times, and people recovered from it, and few of them were even all that sick. She had a 104 year old patient who recovered just fine! In any case, I'm sure a lot who died (of other issues) may also have tested positive for covid, but they didn't die of it they died with it. My daughter got covid in Nov. 2020 and never got sick again, despite being around all these "covid" outbreaks. They often put her in the with covid patients because she had already had it. She remains unjabbed and only had covid that one time. Where we live in Northern California, there really wasn't all the stupid hysteria you would see in big cities elsewhere. People mostly just went on as usual, with not many more precautions that there would have been in a typical flu season. It wasn't any worse than that.

Expand full comment

I understand getting a fake vaccine card if you need to put a roof over your family and feed your kids, but I do think it adds to the problem. It gives the semblance that more people accept mandatory vaccination than really do and puts the unjabbed and unwilling to go along with the mandates at greater risk. I wasn't subject to a vaccine mandate, but what I learned is that to push back against unlawful mandates people need to do so en masse, i.e. everyone should refuse to provide their vaccination status. A nursing home wouldn't be able to function if everyone refused. The challenge is persuading one's fellow employees and that isn't easy. After all, I couldn't persuade a single family member or friend not to get the jab.

I'm really glad your daughter was able to get a religious exemption. Yes, most people didn't die from Covid, just as most people don't die from the flu. Young and healthy people don't generally die from infectious diseases. The Covid counts are a complete scam. I'm in Southern California. Things were crazier here, but at least I don't live in LA. I love the California weather, but I still want to move out of CA to a state where policies are sane and discrimination isn't viewed as a collective good.

I hear you. I also notice a sharp change since the turn of the 21st Century - even though there were warnings as far back as the 70's. I could actually make a case for the anti-war movement of the 70's having malevolent underpinnings from an outside agenda.

One of the nice things about being older is having a point of reference, and I assure you that the 'old days' were nothing like today as far as our individual freedoms were concerned; FEAR mongering is rampant, and not just by the government. Also people seem so much more apathetic and docile, except unfortunately the Leftist nutheads, who seem to be powered by a permanent manic episode.

But then again, back then our communication technology was, the telephone, the television, radio, and printed newspapers! Everyone read The Paper. *There was this monstrous teletype machine, I think the grand-dad of the Fax Machine, that could clatter out a printed message from afar, but few places had one.

What I'm saying is, I think this reduced gossip, rumor, misinformation, PROPAGANDA, and panic. There's a downside to our Instant Communication we take for granted today.

There are very old videos on Twitter of former government operatives talking about propaganda in conjunction with the news business. I'm sure it has always been a thing from the very beginning of the country. We were much easier to control when we had only a few television channels. We have always had free speech, but everyday people really didn't have the reach. Twitter is really the "fullness of free speech." I can reach anyone on Twitter, a head of state, etc. Not saying that they would pay attention to what I say, but I could technically reach them. That is why the government is so determined to censor it, because if people know the truth they can demand more of their governments.

I also do think our government has legitimate concerns. Many countries limit free speech, but those same countries can take advantage of free speech in our country, especially on platforms like Twitter. Also, I think there is a concern about posts going viral. I recall a rumor went viral on Facebook in another country and a bunch of people killed some other people based on rumors. Also, our government probably doesn't want us tweeting too much or at all to leaders of foreign countries. We could start an international incident. So I do think our government has legitimate concerns. But manipulating our internal elections and preventing people from getting truthful information about Covid policies, therapeutics and vaccines was abhorrent and completely unacceptable. Instead of censoring, if our government officials are so confident in their positions and policies, they should be able to make persuasive arguments and convince the American people. I think Twitter and Substack are a net good for humanity.
