The German public health agency, RKI, received 2,500 pages of covid protocols from early 2020 to April 2021 but the files were heavily redacted, similar to state secrets concerning high diplomacy or military matters.
German online magazine Multipolar has filed a legal action to enforce disclosure of the redacted parts, which amount to about one-third of the files but the legal battle will be lengthy. In the interim, Multipolar has published what it has received so far and the questions it raises are proving politically explosive.

The following is an article titled ‘Why were Germany’s covid files redacted?’ written by Italian documentary maker Manfred Manera and published by The Spectator UK.
There are two kinds of long covid. One is a medical syndrome, the other manifests as a healthy obsession – an urge to shed light on what happened during the pandemic crisis.
Too many questions remain unanswered: why did Sweden come out of the pandemic better than other countries without having endured a lockdown? Why were masks imposed when scientific studies repeatedly demonstrated that they were unnecessary? Why was discrimination introduced between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated when it was clear that vaccines were incapable of blocking the transmission of the infection? And why, since the lockdowns, has there been such a high excess death rate in Europe?
Such questions have motivated Multipolar, a small German online magazine, to fight for the disclosure of Robert Koch Institute (“RKI”) documents. RKI is the prestigious German equivalent of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. This institute is meant to provide the scientific basis for the public health (and lockdown) decisions of the German government. It also has extensive influence on smaller neighbouring countries, such as Austria, where RKI’s suggestions are regarded as the gold standard for health policy.
