"[S]hutting down schools, driving the economy against the wall — there was no reason for it," Knut Wittkowski said. "The only reason that this nonsense now goes on and on, and people are inventing things like this ‘second wave,’ which is going to force us to change society and never live again, is that the politicians are afraid of admitting an error."
This is a MUST READ interview with a world-renowned epidemiologist. He says the CDC knew the VIRUS was over BEFORE Easter but kept up the LIE.
