(21 June 2024) (CH-S) Doctors have the Hippocratic Oath to which they must adhere. After all, we trust them with our health and, not least, our lives. We entrust teachers with our young people, our most valuable asset, our future.
Wouldn’t it be time to think about a “Basic Law for teachers”, analogous to the Hippocratic oath? Scholar Michael Felten does this with regard to Germany, but his thoughts are no less important for Swiss teachers.
(21 June 2024) (sv) In a press release dated 5 June 2024, the doctors of the FLCCC Alliance (Front Line Covid19 Critical Care Alliance)* announced the founding of a new medical journal. They are thus drawing the consequences from bitter experiences during the Covid pandemic: their tireless, scientifically based commitment to the efficient treatment of Covid patients with already known, inexpensive drugs was massively opposed by the WHO and the pharmaceutical industry. Dr Pierre Kory illustrates this battle in his book “The war on Ivermectin.”1 – The new scientific journal provides helpful guidance for laypeople and healthcare professionals with regard to further pandemics.

(14 June 2024) In an impressive demonstration, over one hundred thousand Hungarian citizens expressed their desire for peace. They applauded their prime minister for several minutes before he could even begin his speech. Viktor Orbán seemed visibly moved by the demonstrators’ approval. It comes as no surprise to observers that most Hungarians are behind Orbán, as he is doing everything he can to save his people from a devastating war. We present extracts from his speech in which he addresses the question of war and peace.
Interview with Peter Hänseler,* Moscow
(7 June 2024) (CH-S/gk) Peter Hänseler is one of the few people who can draw direct comparisons between Switzerland, Germany and Russia based on his personal life experience. He worked in Russia for many years and now lives in Moscow, where he also works as a journalist. This makes his views on various areas such as current politics, everyday life and the Russian perspective on Switzerland even more interesting. “Swiss Standpoint” had the opportunity to interview him in detail.

(17 May 2024) The special print of the “Criminal complaint against Swissmedic” gives a comprehensive impression of what went wrong during the pandemic to be better prepared for the future. The criminal complaint is an important legal part of coming to terms with the coronavirus period, as is also necessary for all other areas of society.
