I want to break through

Vaccine breakthroughs are currently a hotly debated topic. Such infections are not conducive to an already faltering vaccination campaign, especially not when the emerging extent of this phenomenon takes on frightening dimensions. The reactions of those responsible and those in favour of vaccination could not be more bizarre, which...

Note on our own behalf

Lately, there seems to have been an increasing amount of speculation in about Expressis-Verbis and our intentions as a non-profit association. Obviously, we have still not formulated the purpose of the company, which we have presented in detail on our “About Us” page, in a sufficiently comprehensible and transparent manner....

Letter from a shattered mother

Voices for the silent march

I was not really planning to write about the White March again after “1,200 ignorant people”. I assumed — wrongly, as it turned out — that all the important things had already been said and there was no need to repeat them.  But when instead of 1,200 people in...

A general practitioner, caught between his professional conscience and a world of directives that opposed his medical convictions, made the decision to follow...
