With a new publication, the LGL is trying to create clarity on corona incidences.

Söder also advertised the old numbers.

FDP politician Kubicki wants to see his resignation.

Munich - There was already a lot of turmoil around Bavaria's corona incidences for vaccinated and unvaccinated people in 2021.

Now the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) tried to remove doubts by publishing raw data.

But Wolfgang Kubicki from the FDP fires against Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU).

Kubicki zu Söder: "Sufficient reasons for a resignation"

“Either Markus Söder wanted to paint a crooked picture of the risk of infection from unvaccinated people and thus officially stigmatize a group of people - or he doesn't have his business under control.

Both the one and the other are sufficient reasons for a resignation, "he told

.

At the beginning of December there had already been a political dispute over the creation of the corona incidences in Bavaria.

The accusation of "deception" was in the room.

Among other things, the SPD and FDP had accused the LGL and thus the state government of having conveyed a deceptive security with distorted incidences among vaccinated persons.

There was talk of “questionable numbers”.

Even then, the LGL rejected the allegations that the data had not been published correctly.

“This accusation is absolutely absurd.

In all of our publications by the LGL and on our website, we refer to our calculation bases as well as to the limitations of the values ​​with which we can work, ”emphasized the President of the LGL, Walter Jonas.

Poorly reported corona incidences in Bavaria?

LGL publishes data

Söder also publicly advertised the numbers.

Significantly different incidences between vaccinated and unvaccinated people conveyed clear messages to viewers: "Unfortunately, corona infections are increasing dramatically, especially among unvaccinated people," wrote Söder in mid-November to a graphic on Twitter.

Background of the calculations: In the meantime, people with an unknown vaccination status have been added to the group of unvaccinated persons. A look at the tables that have now been published shows that this did not separately falsify the calculation of the incidences. Rather, the values ​​in an observed interval were significantly closer to the recalculations carried out four weeks later. Nevertheless, the values ​​naturally changed again with the late registrations. And only estimates are possible. This inaccuracy of estimates increased with the general increase in the number of infections.

"Even if the number shown in this way was understood as a pure 'unvaccinated incidence' ', this procedure was superior to leaving out the unknown in the entire period of publication," a spokesman for the LGL told the German press agency on Friday.

"The incidence of unvaccinated and vaccinated people was neither technically nor legally a key indicator for describing and assessing the pandemic situation in Bavaria, but a partial aspect, one of many of the far more comprehensive and publicly available monitoring of the situation by the LGL," writes the state office on theirs Page.

FDP Vice Kubicki went on to say: “Markus Söder has obviously deceived the public with the numbers about the vaccination status of unvaccinated and vaccinated people.

It does not matter for the assessment of the facts whether he has done this consciously or unconsciously. "Anyone who spreads false reports in a crisis situation, according to Kubicki," should have the decency and draw the necessary personal consequences to avoid the office of prime minister from further To preserve damage "..

On the other hand, Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) declared: “It made sense to report the reported cases with an unknown vaccination status together with the group of the unvaccinated.” The values ​​would have been closer to reality than would have been the case if the group of unknowns had been omitted would.

Wolfgang Kubicki recently made headlines again and again with Corona statements.

He is against a general vaccination requirement - and subordinate vaccination advocates already a bad intention.
