The health minister for the current traffic light* coalition government in Germany, Karl “Klaboosterbach” Lauterbach, has always seemed somewhat loopy, but it now appears that his recent infection with COVID-19 — despite his being fully vaxed and double-boosted — has completely detached his mooring lines from reality.

Bemusement over Minister of Health
“Mentally ill” and “confused”: Heavy criticism of Karl Lauterbach
Berlin
Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) caused great astonishment with two statements. The Bild newspaper calls him “confused”, and the former head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Hans-Georg Maassen, speculates about a “mental illness”.
Contrary to his various documented demands that everyone under the age of 70 should also be vaccinated against Corona a fourth time, Lauterbach claimed last night in the ZDF heute journal: “I never said that all younger people should now be vaccinated. That’s just wrong.” In fact, the SPD politician had recently said in Der Spiegel, among other things, that if you wanted to enjoy the summer without the risk of illness, then he would “in consultation with the family doctor, of course, also recommend the vaccine to younger people.”
On Twitter, the Minister of Health also distanced himself from the fact that people should be vaccinated every three months. But that is exactly what his “Corona Protection Concept” presented, together with Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (FDP), if one does not want to be subject to any restrictions on fundamental rights. Only those who were vaccinated less than three months ago are recognized as vaccinated.
Lauterbach responded to the criticism of this regulation with a strange tweet: “Do you seriously believe that people get vaccinated every three months in order to be able to go to a restaurant without a mask??????” If he were to observe this, then he would also “close this loophole”. Then “general mask requirement or test would be the consequence”. The picture is then captioned: “Confused Lauterbach tweet from Corona isolation”.
Maassen wants a “medical examination” of Lauterbach
In an interview with the YouTube program “Hallo Meinung” (Hello Opinion), the former head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution went much further. Hans-Georg Maassen said: “If you look at what Mr. Lauterbach said — sometimes he is barely able to finish a sentence without making a mistake — you really have to ask yourself whether the man still has the necessary mental strength to carry out his duties as a minister or whether the Federal Chancellor should not have to have him examined by a public health officer.”
Maassen also referred to statements made by Lauterbach in 2020. At that time, Lauterbach had doubted the efficacy of mRNA vaccines, as now being used against Corona. Maassen continued: “If he were my employee, I would have the greatest doubts about his ability to work. I cannot judge whether it is mental illness or through medications that are administered. But I think the man is no longer master of his senses.” [I’m not even sure that guy had had any senses to begin with.]
Afterword from the translator:
As the doctor and author Gunter Frank said in “Talk im Hanger-7”: “Mr. Lauterbach lives in his own delusional world. He has completely removed himself from reality. He is simply telling untruths. It’s crazy; we’re being run by a madman here as far as health policy is concerned.” Well, Germany “voted” for him, didn’t they? It was no secret who would become “Minister of Unhealth” in Germany after Jens Spahn (of the windward passage), if the Red-Green-Yellows get into power.

Not just a screw loose or deluded. I think we have let a dangerous psychopath in a powerful position, and worse, he isn’t the only one, just the loudest. Given the irrationality all around, anyone even trying to remove him is guaranteed to hurt him- or herself. History may not repeat, but how it rhymes…
I know a schoolmate of him, says he was the nerdy kind, from very modest origine, which he can not be blamed for,
