Discussion about Corona: Virologist says - trenches stay!

Zwettl, Österreich - A planned discussion program of the ORF Lower Austria, which aimed to overcome trenches in the corona pandemic, has now been canceled. The reason for this is the cancellation of the renowned virologist Norbert Nowotny from the Veterinary University of Vienna, which he gave Martin Rutter on the basis of the invitation of the critical corona skeptic. Rutter is known for his controversy views and had already caused a stir in protests against Corona measures. Nowotny expressed that he had dealt more intensively with remutter and found alarming content in his telegram channels. He explained: "What I found there was beyond any facts," which ultimately moved him to his cancellation, as the Krone reported.

unclear future of the debate

The discussion intended for Thursday in an inn in Zwettl wanted to illuminate which facts spoke for the Corona restrictions and how many mistakes were made during the pandemic. Rutter, who is known for his provocative statements, had called for his followers to appear in large numbers, which Nowotny rated as a potential threat to a factual discussion. He would have preferred that an evidence -based debate could take place without a rutter. The ORF had initially explained to want to listen to all the points of view, but the cancellation of two experts is now questioning the entire event, as noe.orf.at . The ORF remains unclear for the time being, how to proceed after this cancellation.
