The Bonn virologist Hendrik Streeck admitted errors in an interview with “Merkur”.
For example, he described a drastic warning from the World Health Organization (WHO) at the beginning of the pandemic as “wrong” - a “misjudgment”, as he now knows.
“I stand by that”, the paper quotes him.
"I didn't see the virus as dangerous at first and revised it a few weeks later."
He calls his insight "not a sign of failure, but of progress".
However, some media would consciously try to find alleged false statements and then turn them around.
"What some media like 'Spiegel' do is deliberately 'character killing'", he criticizes.
If you limit yourself to dunning and demand the most radical measures possible, choose the easier way, says Streeck.
However, he wants to continue down the middle path.
