On the basis of the doctor's oath or - vow, we can no longer agree with the current corona measures and ask for an open and free dialogue about the goals and arguments below. In our opinion, this takes place with a broad representation from society, clearly visible, respectful, unbiased and based on the correct data. We make this appeal with all respect for the swift action during the start of the pandemic and with sympathy for the sick and surviving relatives of those who have died.

Goal 1: Remove the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the list A of notifiable diseases.

Statement: COVID-19 does not appear to be more dangerous or more deadly than other flu viruses.

More than 98% of people do not or hardly become ill when infected. Mean mortality is now estimated at 0.3% and is probably lower.

Goal 2: Scaling down the measures and returning to 'normal' as soon as possible

Statement: The current corona measures cause more damage than they try to prevent.

The collateral damage in the social, economic, physical and psychological areas is enormous and is disproportionate to the intended or necessary protection against the virus.

Goal 3: Lifting restrictions on freedoms and fundamental rights.

Thesis: The threat of the virus no longer justifies restrictions on freedoms and fundamental rights.

Vulnerable people deserve extra attention. Measures may only be applied in consultation and on the basis of free choice. Based on scientific evidence where possible.

Goal 4: Clarify the purpose of the measures

Statement: The original goal (flattening the curve) has long been achieved.

In March, the policy aimed to prevent overburdening of hospital care. Now the policy seems to be aimed at preventing infections, with very far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. And based on a wrong test situation.

Goal 5: Discontinue use of the PCR test in people who do not have flu symptoms.

Statement: Positive tests are falsely reported as "contamination" and "outbreak".

The PCR test should only be used to detect a virus in a sick person and is not suitable for detecting "infections" in the general population.

Goal 6: Government policy should primarily focus on health promotion.

Thesis: current policy harms health more than it promotes or protects it.

Health status plays a very important role in the course of infection with COVD-19. The current 'fear of the virus', the one and a half meter measure and the mouth masks unnecessarily lower the resistance, which further increases the risk of infections and other (chronic) conditions. There are many methods, including lifestyle, to increase resistance.
