250 Mondays of Resistance – 5 Years of Vigil in front of the RKIFor five years, Oliver Herde has been standing tirelessly every Monday in front of the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin. For 250 Mondays, through heat, rain, snow, and wind, his vigil has made visible that health policy must not serve corporations or government interests, but the people. 
His quiet yet steadfast presence has long become a symbol: for transparency, for scientific integrity, and for returning to what truly matters – the dignity and health of every individual. But while Oliver Herde shows his face week after week, the RKI still refuses to answer a central request that he submitted back on October 28, 2020. Specifically, he demanded the release of the evaluation of the ring trial of Group 340 (Round 4, 2020), which could either confirm or cast doubt on the reliability of PCR tests. At that time, the results had already been sent to the participating laboratories and, according to the Freedom of Information Act, should have been made accessible within just a few days. The urgency was obvious: fundamental rights restrictions depended on the PCR test results, affecting the entire country. Measures such as lockdowns, contact bans, and school closures were based on these figures – figures that were repeatedly and misleadingly presented as “case numbers.” Already in 2020, Oliver Herde pointed out that such measures were disproportionate without transparent review. He demanded clarification. But what has happened since then? Nothing. Almost five years later, no response has been given by the RKI. Not even an extension, not even a comprehensible justification for the silence. A democratic institution that preaches transparency has not considered it necessary to respond to a legally binding request – while right outside its doors, Monday after Monday, a citizen stands with persistence and courage for precisely this transparency. This contradiction could hardly be greater: inside the authority remains silent, outside stands Oliver Herde, week after week, unwavering. His vigil has therefore become not only a protest, but by now a memorial against lack of transparency and political arbitrariness. It shows that democracy does not come into being through Sunday speeches, but through citizens who continue even when institutions stonewall. On September 29, 2025, this vigil will mark its fifth anniversary. Between 12 and 2 pm, it will be commemorated in front of the RKI – not as a boisterous celebration, but as a deliberate reminder that resistance can also be peaceful, persistent, and dignified. That democracy is impossible without accountability. And that a single person, if he remains steadfast, can embody more integrity than an entire authority that ignores its own transparency obligations. Oliver Herde has thus become a role model: for courage, perseverance, and self-empowerment. His example reminds us all not to remain silent where clarification is being denied. The unanswered request from 2020 is not just an open file – it is a symbol of the lack of accountability that the population must no longer accept. Five years of vigil – that means five years of lived democracy. And at the same time, five years of institutional silence. The question remains: how long will the RKI be allowed to remain this ignorant?
