Virologist Christian Drosten clarified false allegations during his recent questioning before the Corona Investigation Committee of the Saxon State Parliament. For example, the scientist presented a slide that clearly showed that the number of infections and deaths also decreased with the vaccinations. "We don't need to discuss whether vaccination interrupts transmission. We have the data." In the case of the Omikron variant, the vaccination then at least mitigated the severity of the disease.
Drosten cited another example in connection with school closures. There is an assumption that no other country has kept schools closed for as long as Germany - 183 days. However, this figure only describes the number of days on which schools were closed somewhere in Germany - across the board, this was only the case on 74 days.
