“Justice at its Lowest Ebb”

(Translation from German article in Transition News – July 2, 2023)

[text emphasis in bold by CoronaCases]


“Once we violate the realm of law

and enter the realm of arbitrariness,

I see in it only the beginning of the end.”

Otto von Bismarck

Dear Readers,

Last week, German justice reached its nadir. The medical doctor,Heinrich Habig was sentenced to two years and ten months in prison for issuing vaccination certificates in 207 cases without vaccinating his patients. He has been in pre-trial detention for over a year (here, here and here).

The decision is only a partial verdict. The trial for more than 400 other possible “fake vaccinations” will be continued in a month. If the doctor is also convicted in these cases, he could face up to five years in prison. Probably purely by chance, the law on “issuing false health certificates” was tightened in November 2021.

In his defence, Habig invoked his oath to the medical association. According to their professional code of conduct, he was forbidden to follow instructions which, in his eyes, were against his ethos and humanity. This was exactly the case when people were forced to be “vaccinated”.

As trial observers report, the prosecutor actually stated in her plea that there were no cases of severe side effects of vaccination. Such claims were “contrarian ideology”.

Since the vaccination campaigns began, there has been a high excess mortality worldwide-even the director of the European Medicines Agency, Emer Cooke, has admitted that over 1.7 million adverse reactions had been registered in the EU by February 2023. Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty alone accounted for almost one million, 0.9 per cent of which were deaths.

In view of these facts, such statements are staggering. Especially in light of the fact that only a minimal fraction of adverse vaccination events are ever reported.

Even more staggering: before the responsible politicians”obliged” people to receive the experimental shot, they knew that it would neither prevent infection nor transmission of the virus (here, here and here). The approval studies had never investigated this either. These are facts, not “contrarian ideologies”.

Humans tend to forget quickly. Therefore, it is worth remembering that the “vaccination campaigns” were an historic attack on the physical integrity and dignity of millions of people. And it must be assumed that governments deliberately drove their citizens onto the open knife.

Will politicians and their hand-picked scientists be held accountable for this? Not in the slightest. Those responsible for this outrageous event will not be prosecuted politically or legally, they will simply be allowed to continue.

The verdict is a disgrace for a democratic country. It brings back memories of the darkest “pandemic” times, of this highly anti-democratic and totalitarian hunt for critics of the official narrative, which in turn was reminiscent of another dark era in German history.

People who followed their conscience and had the courage to speak the truth and act accordingly to protect others from harm were systematically censored, slandered, their existence destroyed and legally persecuted. Nothing has changed in this regard.

This trial is not about justice, but only about making a political example to force people to obey, according to the motto: “Punish one, educate a hundred.”

Sincerely
Wiltrud Schwetje

  • Location: Spain
  • Court: Supreme Court
  • Case #:
  • Plaintiff:
  • Defendant:
  • Trial Type:
  • Judge: Supreme Court
  • Status: Decided
  • Verdict: For the Plaintiff


Background

So far, only five of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions – the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, Andalusia, Cantabria and Galicia – have proposed using vaccine passports to restrict access to public spaces. And all have been rejected by local judges. [1]

Spain’s Supreme Court weighs in on its legality.

 

Significance

Spain’s Supreme Court become the first judicial authority in Europe to rule against the use of covid passports to restrict access to public spaces — specifically hospitality businesses, such as bars, restaurants and nightclubs. [1]

It’s the first time a high court of an EU Member State has challenged the use of vaccine passports domestically. However, it is not the first Spanish court to come out against vaccine passports, but it is the most important. [1]

Decision

Following a caussation appeal by the Junta de Andalucía to a previous decision of the High Court of that community (TSJA), the Supreme Court considers that the presentation of this certificate in drinking establishments is an intense and extensive restriction of individual rights that needs a “substantive justification”; that is, the High Court believes that to decree this measure, it has to be justified that public health is preserved, something that does not occur in the Andalusian case. [2]

The Supreme Court of Spain has overturned the obligation to present the covid passport to enter nightlife venues. The Supreme Court considers that the presentation of this certificate in the drinking establishments is an intense and extensive restriction of the individual rights that it needs of a “substantive justification”.

In other words, the High Court believes that to order this measure, it must be justified to preserve public health, something that does not happen in the Andalusian case.

“It is not a precisely essential measure to safeguard public health in a given space where a social condition of coexistence exists, but rather a preventive measure,” argues the court.

The Supreme Court considers that this restriction could not be decreed in a general way for the entire Andalusian territory and all municipalities without considering the cumulative incidence in each locality and without connection with the health situation or with the situation of the pandemic.

“Precisely because of their severity and because they affect the entire Andalusian population,” these limitations “restrictively affect basic elements of freedom of movement and the right of assembly,” says the sentence.

Re: the Legality of Germany’s 2G rules

 

Back to All Cases

Facts of the Case

  • Dates: December 16, 2021
  • Location: Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany
  • Court: Lower Saxony High Administrative Court
  • Case #: Az.: 13 MN 477/21
  • Plaintiff: Retailers
  • Defendant: Government
  • Trial Type:
  • Judge:
  • Status: Decided
  • Verdict: For the Plaintiff


 

Background

The implementation of Covid restrictions in the retail sector, named the 2G rule, has been challenged in court by retailers from all over Germany.

Those without a Covid passport are now forbidden to enter many shops, restaurants, and cultural events as a result of the 2G law.

Retailers have complained about a substantial decline in sales and the terrible timing of the restrictions during the Christmas season since the 2G rule was enforced in the retail sector earlier this month.

 

Significance

This case highlights the impact of the covid rules on the economy, especially small businesses. It also questions the discriminatory nature of the guidelines.

 

Plaintiff’s Argument

…More information is needed…

 

Defendant’s Argument

…More information is needed…

 

Decision

The execution of the laws impacting retail was suspended by a court in Lower Saxony on Thursday. The restrictions were declared discriminatory by the court.

The measure was not necessary to further contain the corona virus and was also not compatible with the general principle of equality, the court ruled. [2]

One of the reasons given by the court for its decision was that it was not possible to simply transfer research findings from enclosed spaces in the sports and leisure sector to the retail sector. Moreover, customers could also be required to wear an FFP2 mask in the retail sector. In addition, he said, it was not apparent that the country had increased its research on infection pathways to improve the targeting of its protective measures. [2]

 

Aftermath

“The judgment in Lower Saxony makes it clear that the 2G regulation is not a legal sure-fire successor for large parts of the retail sector,” said HDE (German Trade Association) managing director Stefan Genth of the German press agency.

Genth expects that other federal states that have challenged the 2G rule will follow Lower Saxony’s lead.

“The other state governments should now also take this into account, avoid unjustified burdens on the retail trade and not wait until their ordinances are collected again by the courts,” he said in a statement.
