It has taken me a long time to put into words what I’ve experienced since the start of “Covid-19” back in 2020. I live in Switzerland so the account concerns mainly the experience of Covid in that country.
I was never afraid of the infection itself, but much more troubled at the loss of freedoms. Measures were taken to halt the spread of Covid-19 like lockdowns to one degree or another. Switzerland largely kept its schools open during the pandemic. Schools had only been closed once – in spring 2020 compared with an overall 5-7 months in Germany.
Talk of development of a “vaccine” and vaccination campaigns began in December 2020. Switzerland seemed to follow in lock-step with the United States, regarding authorizations for their use – and still does.
It was then that I began to do my homework. I recall finding information on the Pfizer vaccine from the company itself which cast doubt in my mind about its safety. The Pfizer document, “5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021”
helped me to definitively decide not to take the vaccination. Appendix 1 at the end of the document comprises a 9-page single-spaced list of “Adverse events” of special interest. This document was available on the Internet at the time.

Reading that it was an “experimental” gene therapy subjected to a very short clinical trial reinforced this doubt, as did the “emergency use authorization” in the United States. Friends and family asked me whether I would get the jab. Most of them finally accepted the injection. I did not.
In 2020, I wrote the first of four opinion pieces for the main newspaper in Geneva, Switzerland, Tribune de Genève, all published. The first one expressed my thoughts on protective measures:
“Insufficient Protection” 7 Nov. 2020
“Just as the authorities do not protect the population from the dangers of wireless radiation such as that emitted by our smartphones, they do not protect us from Covid. Their measures are futile, ineffective and ruin many people's lives - socially, culturally, economically... So why should we be surprised that hospitals are reaching maximum capacity?
“The increasing virulence of this virus is enriching pension funds by eliminating the elderly and the sick. And of course, we have to allow people to enjoy their pleasures and promote lucrative activities such as tourism, which spreads the virus.”
After publication of the fourth opinion, where I mentioned the “yellow star”, a “friend” wrote me a note which accused me of spreading disease by not being vaccinated. Someone else sent a text to the editor of the opinion column of the newspaper fiercely criticizing what I wrote. The editor notified me and did not publish what this person wrote.
Thanks to over ten years engaged in raising awareness about the risks of exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted by wireless technologies, I learned not to trust industry or government regulatory agencies, one of which is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), all of which downplay the risks of products or outright lie about harm, and are more concerned about profit than protecting people’s health.
Lockdowns came and went. Relationships with people I knew began to weaken and die out. I found it difficult to be with vaccinated people who seemed to have bought into the narrative. Their reasons for getting jabbed? Being able to continue to be a part of society? It was troubling to read that some people chose to be jabbed in order to travel, eat out, etc. but even more disturbing to know that many people had to choose between getting vaccinated in order to keep their jobs and earn a living.
I was not happy when members of my family would say to me, “You should get vaccinated”. To me, this is a personal choice.
Very few members of my family chose not to get the jab. One was already home-schooling their children because New York State would not allow exemptions from vaccination of children to attend public schools. Another member's 13-year-old daughter chose herself to get the jab. Perhaps school and peer pressure played a part in her decision, but how can a young person make such a serious decision without researching the information out there, let alone understanding it? Her younger sister, aged 8, also took the jab. Her mother was assured that there are no effects on reproduction from the vaccines. How can we believe this, just because so and so says there are no effects and no tests could yet be done on long-term effects? Vaccine development often takes 10-15 years of laboratory research,
At the end of July 2021, I came down with shingles, I still believe, as a result of shedding by vaccinated people. The doctors did not believe this and attributed it to stress. Several days later, due to an overly strong pain medication and weakness, I fell and could not walk afterwards. Since then, I have not regained full mobility. The doctors could not understand the reason for my being unable to walk after the fall. They also tried to convince me to get the jab. During the 16-day stay in hospital, they focused on a medical issue that had been plaguing me, requiring painful tests and “treatment” costing some $16,000 to the medical insurance. The “treatment” was not at all effective and in fact surgery was recommended, which I refused. Later, some seven months of homeopathic treatment alleviated the condition. I believe that the hospital took advantage of the fact that I had good medical insurance and tried to talk me into a costly operation that would have only benefited the hospital.
My trust in the medical profession has been eroded since this experience. Most doctors – to this day – continue to follow the narrative and actually are doing harm to their patients. When Dr. Peter McCullough suggested we ask our GPs how they would treat Covid, the physician recommended by the hospital avoided answering me. I started following Dr. McCullough’s advice around August 2021 regarding “disinfecting” the upper respiratory tract - nose and throat – twice a day. Since then, I have had only a minor "flu"/cold once or twice.
I did not believe in PCR testing and had no reason to resort to it although I missed the pleasure of attending rehearsals of the Suisse Romande orchestra. Almost all my friends and family have had both jabs and some, at least one booster. Almost all seemed okay, until a family member was diagnosed with cancer. I continue to fear for the health of friends and family, given what I am hearing about the continued long-term effects of the vaccines. A cousin died at age 40 from a seizure. He had mentioned that he thought he was suffering complications from the vaccines.
The Swiss media is complicit in and still following the “narrative” as in so many other countries. To this day, The Tribune de Genève calls Robert F. Kennedy Jr. an "anti-vaxxer". Swissmedic, the agency which authorizes medications and vaccines receives generous grants from the Gates Foundation. Off-label, effective treatments like ivermectin continue to be “demonized”. My pharmacist, when presented in 2024 with a prescription for ivermectin from my GP, advised against having it filled because it would have cost over $400 for a 10-day treatment (twenty 12 mg tablets whereas I had paid a friend one Swiss franc (about one dollar) per 12 mg tablet; the pharmacist intimated that the medications produced by the Swiss pharmaceutical companies were preferred and most doctors prescribe these. If they do not, they may be penalized in the form of heavy fines. Ivermectin is not part of the Geneva university hospital protocol for Covid-19 treatment. In 2022 when I asked the pharmacy about ivermectin, I was told that it could only be prescribed for scabies and not Covid-19.

Four months after charges were filed, the Public Prosecutor’s Office had not even informed the legal team responsible whether or not proceedings had started. As the authorities had remained largely passive, on 14 November 2022, the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, including Zurich attorney, Philipp Kruse, announced this lawsuit in a press conference, presenting to the public the facts and the results of their comprehensive year-long investigation.
The presentation of the complaint show that Swissmedic seriously and permanently violated their duty of care in relation to medicinal products, with serious consequences for young, healthy people and the entire population. The complaint alleges Swissmedic violated Switzerland’s criminal code by approving poorly tested, ineffective vaccines and then ignoring thousands of Swiss cases of related disability and death.
Among many alleged injuries listed in the complaint, including disability and deaths, was this: “Collapse in birth rates: over 6,000 missing babies in 2022.”
Listen to this excellent June 2023 interview with Attorney Philipp Kruse.
Swissmedic criminal complaint dated February 7, 2024 – Version 2.0
Extract from Executive Summary: “Suspicion of a Crime” (p. 32)
“In the present case, we are dealing with the greatest threat to and violation of human health caused by pharmaceuticals themselves and by official misinformation in this regard that has ever occurred in the history of Switzerland. The mRNA "vaccines", which are largely ineffective against SARS-CoV-2 infections and pose an above-average risk, have been proven to pose a far greater threat to the healthy population than the SARSCoV-2 pathogen itself, against which these "vaccines" were supposed to protect. Swissmedic, or the persons acting on its behalf, are primarily responsible for the harm to human health already caused by mRNA-based substances and for the further resulting risk. By law, Swissmedic has the task of protecting the health of the Swiss population from ineffective or harmful medicinal products. According to the Swiss Therapeutic Products Act (TPA), it is obliged to ensure that only high-quality, safe and effective therapeutic products are placed on the market. It must also protect consumers of therapeutic products from being deceived in this context (Art. 1 TPA). Those acting on behalf of Swissmedic repeatedly and to a considerable extent failed to comply with these and other clear legal obligations to the detriment of the injured complainants, which is why they have been under urgent suspicion since December 2020 until today.”

I am dismayed to note that even now, censorship of truthful information on the Covid vaccines is increasing. I cannot to this day believe that so many people are still in denial regarding the truth about the vaccines, the loss of freedoms, violations of countries’ constitutions, that so many people in the medical profession do not see the harm they are perpetrating on people. One of the worst violations was former U.S. President Joe Biden saying in December 2021, “It will be a winter of sickness and death for the unvaccinated and their families…” – from the leader of a nation whose duty is to protect its people. Instead, he has demonized nearly a quarter of the population of the nation.
In “The Bodies of Others”, Dr. Naomi Wolf wrote about her resistance to Covid measures: walking into a restaurant in New York City and intending to ride the subway without a mask. My only resistance is having not been vaccinated and placing a fake name and address on the sheets we were obliged to sign in restaurants during lockdowns because I had no cell phone and therefore could not hold it against the QR code on the restaurant table for tracing. (Later, the unvaccinated could not enter restaurants and other places without a "vaccine pass” and/or proof of a negative PCR test.)
My friends whom I used to see on a regular basis – nearly all vaccinated - no longer kept in touch. It is as if my having made the choice not to get vaccinated has disturbed them. Some of them were faithfully following and still do - the “narrative”, glued to CNN, BBC News, the New York Times. One of my friends stated regarding vaccination, “I will be protected. I don’t care about other people.” Another, as I said, just about accused me of being a “leper” after publication of my comment on the “Yellow Star”.
The great tragedy is that too many people continue to believe in the false narratives. “Covid” and censorship are not over.
In August 2022, I discovered that the “vaccine” contracts for Switzerland with the manufacturers had been posted on the site of the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health, following a freedom of information request. Curiously, the documents were in English, not in any of the official languages of Switzerland, and most of the texts blacked out. I looked at only one document, Pfizer’s “Head of Terms”, signed in October 2020:
Link to Procurement contracts for COVID-19 vaccines on Swissmedic site: to download, click on Pfizer AG – “Head of Terms”
"Switzerland acknowledges and agrees that the Suppliers' efforts to develop and manufacture the Vaccine are aspirational in nature and subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Notwithstanding the efforts and any estimated dates set forth in this Head of Terms, the Parties recognize that the Vaccine is currently in Phase 1/2 clinical trials and that, despite the diligent efforts of the Suppliers in research and development and manufacturing, the Vaccine may not be successful due to technical, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing or other challenges or failures."
The whole liability section was blacked out except the first sentence:
"Appendix A - Full liability and indemnity provision for the Definitive Agreement -
Indemnification by Government. The Government hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pfizer, BioNTech..."
There – in black and white.
Does this mean that the Swiss Government – and the pharmaceutical manufacturers -- knew the inoculations might not be effective and would carry risks, prior to jabbing a majority of the inhabitants of the country? The document also clearly states that these products were currently in Phase 1 / 2 clinical trials. Has there been a reaction from the media, the medical profession, government members?
The latest violation of right to health has been the recent confiscation by Swissmedic of an order of ivermectin which improves my health. The package was confiscated by Swiss customs. I received a stern letter from Swissmedic informing me that I would have to pay a fine and that the package would be destroyed. It seems that ivermectin is on the list of drugs for which it is illegal to import more than a quantity corresponding to one month's treatment.
After writing to Swissmedic, the agency changed its position, informing me that if I could provide a prescription from my doctor, they would return the package. So I asked for a prescription from my doctor (the doctor had already given me a prescription which a pharmacy in Switzerland had hesitated to fill). This time, the doctor totally ignored my request for the prescription for Swissmedic. This doctor could have replied that he could not provide the prescription, but he did not. (His patients who travel to Asia and Africa provide him with ivermectin.)
We are well aware of the controversy surrounding this inexpensive and effective drug. During a current search we could find no information on the drug protocols at Geneva’s University Hospital (HUG) for treatment of Covid-19. Several years earlier, there were statements that effective treatments with drugs like ivermectin were not allowed, however, remdesivir was on the list. Orders for the drug by Canadian physician William Makis, who prescribes it to successfully treat cancers and many other conditions, have been confiscated in his country by customs officials, which he says is a crime. Some of his patients, including children, have died as a result. It is unjust for Swissmedic to determine what constitutes a one-month treatment of a drug. Treatment is long-term, so a one-month course is not realistic.
COVID-19 vaccination in Switzerland is recommended in the autumn/winter 2024-25 for the following groups:

- People aged 16 or over with trisomy 21
- Pregnant women
This is my testimony.
