Die Pest-Prophezeihung: Heiko Schöning und Beate Bahner sprachen schon im Januar 2025 über die Pest

Discussion Summary

Beate Bahner and Heiko Schöning discuss reports that Oxford researchers, working with AstraZeneca, are developing a plague vaccine. They say the research is motivated by concern about a potentially antibiotic-resistant strain.

Schöning notes that plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and argues that it is generally treatable with antibiotics. He questions whether a vaccine is currently needed in Western countries.

Broader Claims and Predictions

The speakers frame the vaccine news as part of what they believe is a broader effort to generate public alarm. Schöning links plague stories to historical accounts of social upheaval and argues that fear of disease has been used to justify increased regulation and surveillance.

He also alleges connections between Oxford, military biological-weapons research at Porton Down, and preparations for future health emergencies. These wider claims and predictions are the speakers’ interpretations and are not established by the subtitles as independently verified facts.

Schöning predicts that a major health emergency could be declared between 2025 and 2028, followed by a period of synchronized elections from 2029 to 2033, during which he suggests war might occur. He connects the article’s mention of Russia to what he sees as a developing war narrative.

The conversation also briefly refers to reports of a respiratory virus in China and to monkeypox, which Schöning says did not generate the same public response.
