Germany’s Health Minister Accused Of Making Up ‘Tens Of Thousands Of Heat Deaths’

Karl LauterbachGermany’s federal health minister made up 300,000 fictional heat deaths, accused of spreading fear through the public.

Now that the Corona pandemic has been exposed, for the most part, as being a large-scale vaccine swindle and government overreach, Germany’s federal minister of health Karl Lauterbach [pictured], SPD-Socialist, has now shifted his focus to a new scare story: summer heat deaths. [emphasis, links added]

The solution: more government control.

Recently Lauterbach introduced his National Heat Protection Plan, claiming that there are between 5,000 and 20,000 heat-related deaths each and every summer.

Especially older, chronically ill people, pregnant women, newborns, and small children are at risk, according to Lauterbach.

Lockdowns in some form or another may be needed when the weather is hot.

Lauterbach feels that the alleged summer heat death numbers of 5,000 to 20,000 are more than enough to justify the implementation of a drastic nationwide heat protection plan.

However, it turns out Lauterbach has wildly exaggerated the numbers by nearly 10,000 a year!

The newly created Nius.de here reports on Lauterbach’s gross exaggeration and presents the true figures going back to 1990 (blue bars):

Chart: Nius.de

Lauterbach claims 5,000 to 20,000 (orange) die from heat in Germany annually, but the blue-colored bars tell a [different] reality.

Wildly exaggerated

Nius.de calls Lauterbach’s figures “completely made up”, and adds:

“In 25 of the past 31 years, there have been fewer than 5,000 heat deaths, and in 17 of those years fewer than 2,000. So Lauterbach is inventing tens of thousands of heat deaths.”

The [average] mean of Lauterbach’s 5,000 to 20,000 is 12,500.

But the real mean from 1992 to 2022 is about 2,500, which would mean Lauterbach made up some 300,000 fictional heat deaths for the period.

That’s more than 100 deaths per summer day!

From or with heat

When NIUS asked the Federal Ministry of Health multiple times on which [databases] Lauterbach made his claims, they never got an answer.

Perhaps Lauterbach now counts heat deaths like Corona deaths: If a patient dies from or during a heat wave, then the cause of death is heat.

Nius.de adds:

“The figure of up to 20,000 heat deaths would indeed be disturbing – if it were not highly unserious.

“But that doesn’t move the minister at all. Following France’s example, he wants to be allowed to cancel events when it is very hot.”

    I know this website gives quality dependent articles and additional material, is there
    any other website which provides these kinds of information in quality?

    Sounds like another Gore or DiCaprio in the making

    Hello there I am so happy I found your webpage, I really found you by mistake, while I was looking on Bing for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say thanks
    a lot for a tremendous post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love
    the theme/design), I don’t have time to browse it all at
    the minute but I have bookmarked it and also added in your
    RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the great job.

    Sounds like there all reading from the same book. Steven Guilbeault, Canada’s minister is even spreading the same, fear people is their game! I only listen to Michelle Sterling!

  5. Dave O says:

    Anyone who died during Covid died from Covid.
    Anyone dying during a hot spell obviously died from the heat. Same play from the same playbook, since once a lie is in the lexicon of information, almost impossible to correct it.

    It sounds more like Orwell’s Ministry of Truth instead of Ministry of Health. JUst make up stuff that is clearly false and expect the sheeple to just follow their orders.
