Vaccination scandal in Donau-Ries: several hundred people affected
Hundreds of people are affected, according to the district administrator. As things stand, some of those affected have deliberately gone to the doctor and picked up a vaccination stamp. Others, however, had themselves vaccinated by the doctor in good faith. There are also some risk patients among those affected. The doctor's practice is closed until further notice. The district administrator promises that there will be free tests for those affected who do not have vaccination protection. A special vaccination campaign is also planned.
Michael Lechner from the criminal police explains that the investigation was started through anonymous tips.
Numerous surveys have already been carried out.
Some of those affected have already had their antibodies tested in advance based on rumors.
These test results indicated that there was no vaccination protection.
The results of the other victims will only be found in a few days.
First report from October 5th, 10 a.m .:

Vaccination scandal in Donau-Ries: These are the allegations against the doctor
The practice mentioned is the general practice of Dr. med. Gerhard Holst in Wemding. The doctor is accused of having issued his patients with vaccination certificates for Corona * vaccinations without actually having injected a vaccine. Eyewitnesses had told the authorities of long queues in front of the family doctor's practice in Wemdingen in the past few weeks. As the
BR
reports, cars with license plates from all over Germany were parked there.
But that is not enough.
He is also suspected of having faked the vaccinations.
So instead of the vaccine, he could just have given his patients saline or something like that.
It is still completely open whether the patients knew about the fraud or not.
Some of those affected told
the
BR
that they had been given an injection in the buttocks.
The doctor had also warned her beforehand that the vaccination could lead to death.
After suspicion of wrong vaccinations: Affected have to do an antibody test
The District Office Donau-Ries * announced in a message that all affected patients must take an antibody test to clarify the vaccination status.
One must be aware that proof of complete vaccination is invalid and must not be used.
In the event of use, there is a risk of criminal prosecution.
In addition, those affected should adhere to the hygiene and contact restrictions and avoid contact.
Antibody tests for those affected take place in the former vaccination center in Nördlingen, Nürnberger Straße 17.
The district office writes, after clarification of the vaccination status, “a special vaccination campaign for those affected in Wemding is planned.”
