He describes the pandemic as “not a serious epidemic” and is of the opinion that “the Covid vaccination cannot be recommended with a clear conscience”: Jochen Philipp Handel causes heated discussions in the Lucerne community of Ballwil. Because the corona skeptic should become a village doctor. After eight years, the municipality would finally have its own general practice again. But there are people in the village who refuse to visit him in advance, as the “Seetaler Bote” writes.
A look at his website gives an idea of why. There Handel advertises his book “Rescue – the depopulation vaccine and its remedies”. In it, the German doctor speaks of “vaccination victims” who “can still be helped”. In addition, there are “shattering reports from people who, shortly after the vaccination, had to suffer the most severe side effects, some of which resulted in death”. In addition to the European Medicines Agency and a controversial US reporting system for vaccine side effects, he also cites Telegram as a source for this.
«Conventional medicine is a modern danger»
Handel confirmed to the newspaper: “The Covid vaccination cannot be recommended with a clear conscience.” The entire pandemic is “predominantly a political pandemic of the media”. He also strongly condemns conventional medicine: “I consider it a modern danger.”
With his attitude, Handel encounters skepticism and uncertainty among the Ballwil population, as the “Luzerner Zeitung” writes. However, the municipal council under President Benno Büeler is behind him. “There have always been doctors critical of vaccinations. Outside of the Covid period, that would certainly not have been an issue,” Büeler told the newspaper. He can understand the criticism of the population, but Handel’s concept of holistic care for people convinced the municipal council.
The rumors and reactions in the village fueled a degree of uncertainty. Handel says: “I don’t want to fuel any conflicts in the village. My medical practice should be there for everyone.»
No free space for doctor’s office
Handel can’t treat people in Ballwil yet – he doesn’t have a room for his doctor’s office. The municipality wanted to accommodate the trading practice in the castle room. The room is regularly used by the Samaritan association and the mothers and fathers counseling service. The community has been looking for new rooms for them so that they can make room for the doctor’s practice at the end of March 2022. But the clubs refused to go.
According to President Büeler, the community could not come to an agreement with the club’s management. “We weren’t aware that they were so attached to this building,” says Büeler. That’s why there is currently no free space for Handels’ medical practice and it is unclear when the corona skeptic can work in Ballwil. (gin)
