How the Covid-9 crisis generated censorship; during the crisis prof, Walach published two papers that were published, retracted and republished after thorough rereview. One paper was about a risk-benefit ratio of vaccines and argued for active monitoring of Covid-19 vaccine side effects. The second paper dealt with an experimental measurement of the levels of carbon-dioxide under face masks worn by children. Harald speaks of the fact that politically correct narratives may not always be factually correct, and how this affected him personally. Prof. Harald Walach, Next Society Institute, Kazimieras Simonavicius University Vilnius, Lihunaia
This interview is part 2 of a report we made on the Lack of Scientific Freedom Conference in Copenhagen, oct. 24/25 2022. In this report you'll find impressions of the lectures and debates by scientists such as John Ioannidis, Peter Gøtzsche and Tom Jefferson, and interviews by Michaéla Schippers and Rico Brouwer with some of the presenters.
The lack of scientific freedom conference turned quintessential after we had filmed it. We received slander and defamation. Threats even, should we dare publish our report.
We decided to proceed on a path of transparency. In the introduction to this report we show you what happened to us, after we volunteered a preview of our report to the organisation of the event.
The reports is in six parts:
- introduction
- 1 preface and impressions of day one of the conference
- 2 interview with Harald Walach (this video)
- 3 interview with Kim Witczak
- 4 interview with Nicolas Vermeulen
- 5 reflections and impressions of day two of the conference
- 6 conclusions
Links to all parts can be found on https://followthescience.nl/lack-of-scientific-freedom-causes-consequences-and-cures.html
Intimidation does not solve the lack of scientific freedom, it exposes it. Our apologies to the audience and to the speakers who asked us to publish from their sessions. We refer you to the meeting organisers who also filmed at the event. We urge them to publish as transparently, as we had set out to do. Conflict amongst ourselves, only has losers. Let’s choose a different path.
