Better Than Lying Is Covering Up – Paul Ehrlich Institute Kept No Records During the “Pandemic”When government agencies begin to present their own lack of transparency as a virtue, that’s no longer a bureaucratic failure – it’s a political declaration of bankruptcy. 
The Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), responsible for vaccine safety, kept no records of its pharmacovigilance meetings for three years – precisely those meetings in which potential risks, side effects, and safety assessments of vaccines should have been documented. This is not a minor detail. It’s a scandal.And the only reason we even know about it is the tireless work of journalist Bastian Barucker – not a political investigation, not a parliamentary inquiry, not a special commission, not a public prosecutor bringing charges. Through meticulous research, Barucker uncovered what official bodies apparently neither wanted to know nor were supposed to know: that the PEI kept no meeting minutes between February 2020 and June 2023 – in the midst of the largest vaccination campaign in the history of the Federal Republic.No Records – No OversightThe official explanation: “Exceptionally high workload.” But anyone who accepts that also accepts that authorities may simply suspend their oversight duties in times of crisis. Especially when millions of people are being vaccinated, transparency must be the highest priority. Instead: radio silence.For three years, not a word on what data were discussed, which warning signs were reviewed, which decisions were made. Who knew what and when – and what was concealed? Without records, none of this can be reconstructed. That means: The verifiability of government action was systematically rendered impossible. The Law? Apparently Optional.Section 77a (2) of the German Medicines Act obliges the PEI to document and publish the results and agendas of its expert committees. Legal scholars call this an “administrative breach” – because without records, administrative actions can neither be traced nor legally reviewed. But apparently, in the nation’s health apparatus, laws are treated as mere suggestions when they become inconvenient.Cover-Up Instead of AccountabilityOn its website, the PEI states that its mission is to “detect, investigate, and communicate real and perceived risks of vaccines in a timely and transparent manner.” But how is an agency supposed to “communicate transparently” if, for over three years, it didn’t even write down what it discussed?Public trust in drug safety has been damaged – and ironically, by the very institution that was meant to protect that trust. Even worse: To this day, there have been no consequences. No parliamentary inquiry, no investigation, no public apology. Cover-Up as a Principle of Governance“Better than lying is covering up” – this phrase sums up the self-image of a political culture that dulls its own control mechanisms.The PEI protocol disaster is not an isolated bureaucratic error. It is a symptom: • of a bureaucracy that evades responsibility, • of a government that confuses control with trust, • and of a public that learns the truth only through independent journalists. Citizens deserve clarification – not excuses. And if the state is neither able nor willing to provide it, it falls to people like Bastian Barucker to bring the truth to light. A Journalist Where the State FailedWhile the government, parliament, and ministry ignored the state of the records, Bastian Barucker investigated, filed inquiries, and exposed contradictions – thereby revealing what should long have been the subject of every parliamentary investigation.His work is a prime example of what critical journalism can achieve in times of denial: It replaces what politics and administration refuse to deliver – accountability. Where authorities cover up and parliaments look away, only the public remains. And Barucker used it.
