An Austrian PhD student in German studies advised the federal government on pandemic control and wrote a central part of a Covid 19 strategy paper for the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Home Affairs (BMI).
This is the result of research by WELT AM SONNTAG.
In March 2020, 52-year-old Otto Kölbl was appointed to an expert committee of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which was supposed to create a strategy paper entitled “How we can get Covid-19 under control”.
At the time, the ministry needed a well-founded analysis in order to be able to “assess, prepare and take decisions on measures and their effects”, as stated in an email from State Secretary Markus Kerber.
It is about being able to plan “measures of a preventive and repressive nature”.

At that time, Kölbl was working on his dissertation at the Swiss University of Lausanne and also worked part-time as a language examiner.
A letter from State Secretary Kerber to the university management, according to which Kölbl had been admitted to the BMI expert council, was considered by the dean to be a forgery.
