Questions for journalists

Some of the many questions that are NEVER asked, not at press conferences, not on talk shows, not by 'science journalists'. Questions from a parallel universe.

I came across this list on Facebook. I don't know from whom, please report if you recognize it. I did adjust it a bit.

1. Epidemiologist J. Ioannidis has indicated in a peer-reviewed article that the IFR of sars-cov-2 for all ages is 0.23% and <70 years even only 0.05%. So why are these drastic measures (including integrated vaccination) necessary?
2. The reason given for the ongoing measures is the limited hospital capacity. Can you explain why the emergency hospitals were dismantled again after the first wave?
3. You often state that it is mainly due to insufficient (trained) staff. So why were these emergency hospitals built in the first wave in the first wave at all?
4. Why hasn't there been a strong focus on building up more capacity in healthcare since March, when it comes to ICU beds and staff? Where is the retraining program?
5. There are numerous media reports from 2016 to 2019 indicating that hospitals and/or ICUs were full of flu patients, why, for example, was it decided to cut >1000 ICU beds in 5 years?
6. Why did you, Mr Rutte, talk about building up herd immunity among the healthy population in your speech of 16 March, but denied ever having said this in the debate of 4 June 2020? https://youtu.be/aLOWhhNvE8Q
7. Why are the many FOI requests still not being met when it comes to matters about corona?
8. Waarom wordt er door u beiden bij een positieve PCR test nog steeds gesproken over een "besmetting"? Vele specialisten, waaronder de uitvinder van de PCR test, stellen namelijk dat je met PCR test helemaal geen klinische diagnose of besmettelijkheid vast kan stellen. Hoe kan een Tweede Kamer tegen wetenschappelijke feiten stemmen?
9. Are you familiar with Peter Borger's criticism and the retraction he uses? He states that the PCR test contains major design flaws and cannot be used reliably. What consequences would this have for testing policy and measures? Molecular Biologist Peter Borger - the design flaws in the Corona test In this technical video, molecular biologist Peter Borger explains that the important internationally applied #SARSCoV2 #PCR test contains major design flaws...

10. You have indicated countless times until the beginning of October that wearing a non-medical face mask does not add anything and it would be a false sense of security, why do you want to make a non-medical face mask mandatory as of December 1 and give a fine for not wearing it?
11. When wearing a non-medical face mask, you, Mr. De Jonge, often talk about achieving behavioural change. Did you know that according to the Nuremberg Code, you are not allowed to make an experiment to change behaviour mandatory? How do you feel about opposing this?
12. Waarom is er op de routekaart coronamaatregelen geen plek voor risiconiveau "het oude normaal"? Bij het laagste risiconiveau (minder dan 50 positieve testen per 100.000 inw) is er nog steeds sprake van een niet medische mondkapjesplicht. Komen we ooit van de maatregelen af?
13. Why has Sars-cov-2 not yet been removed from the list of A-reporting diseases? Given the now known scientific facts, this virus no longer belongs there.
14. Why are the measures disproportionately tested for the possible effect on combating 1 virus, but the effect on the economy, (social) safety and general public health seems to be of secondary importance? Why has a vaccine been the only way out from the very beginning of this crisis, when people claimed to know almost nothing about the virus?
15. And why are only the issued advice of the OMT made public, but not on which scientific facts/information they base this advice?
16. Has an investigation been carried out into conflicts of interest in the selection of the members of the OMT?

These are questions that concern a large number of people. Why don't you ask these kinds of questions? There will come a time when they will be answered... and then other questions will follow. Better to be half-turned than completely wrong, I think. And then the journalists who failed to ask these questions will also have to bear the consequences. That could easily become a criminal investigation.
