It was reported yesterday that the district court of Schönau in Germany has issued an order to arrest Dr. Mathias Poland, a family doctor who used to practice in Zell. He is accused of issuing certificates of favor to opponents of wearing masks during the pandemic. The order of arrest was “against a doctor from the district of Lörrach” for “issuing false certificates”.
The fact, that some German doctors have issued false exemptions from wearing masks has been known for some time. Similar things have also been reported from other countries. Often, these physicians in question seem to be practitioners of so-called alternative medicine (SCAM). To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that a doctor has been arrested for such a crime.
So, what do we know about Mathias Poland?
His is what Dr. Poland tells us about himself (my translation):
I was born in 1958 and grew up in Stuttgart. From 1976 I studied medicine in Ulm, where I came into intensive contact with anthroposophy, which has accompanied me ever since. Further stations of my studies were Münster/Westphalia (D) and Poitiers (F). Doctorate in 1983 in Münster on a pediatric oncological topic. This was followed by further training as a specialist in general medicine in several clinics in northern Germany, acquisition of the additional qualification in homeopathy. Further training in anthroposophical medicine through numerous seminars. In 1990 I set up as a general practitioner and family doctor in Wehr/Baden (Germany) – in the following years I gained additional qualifications in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture at the University of Freiburg (Germany).
Recognition as an anthroposophical doctor by the GAÄD.
I became the doctor in charge of the Kaspar Hauser School Schopfheim 1999 – 2006. From 2009, I took over a GP practice in Zell im Wiesental (D) with an additional focus on proctology.
… Since 1.9.2019, I have been the senior physician in general medicine at the Arlesheim Clinic …
Anthroposophic medicine is a form of healthcare developed in the 1920s by Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) in collaboration with the physician Ita Wegman (1876–1943). It is based on Steiner’s mystical ideas of anthroposophy. Why do anthroposophical doctors issue such false certificates? As far as I understand it (and to explain it very simply), anthroposophical medicine teaches that infections should not be fought against but accepted and experienced. Why? Because they are important milestones that make us better and more whole as human beings.
And why do doctors believe in anthroposophical medicine?

It seems extraordinary that Steiner could have had such an idea, when a few years before, an H1N1 virus had killed between fifty and a hundred million people. How did being dead make them better and more whole?
good question!
Steiner believed in reincarnation, so presumably you feel the benefit in your next life.
It’s rather more odd than that. He believed in reincarnation (believed he was the reincarnation of Aristotle and Aquinas), and that the reincarnating soul can improve if it learns the lessons each life brings. By coincidence, white western Europeans are the most “highly evolved”. I won’t go into who the least evolved are.
Aristotle and Aquinas indeed! No-one ever believes himself the reincarnation of a poor anonymous rent boy from ancient Palmyra who died of syphilis and tuberculosis aged 28.
If one is to buy into SOME of Steiner, surely you must buy into ALL, and frankly out onesself as openly unspeakably racist.
And who, one wonders, is today the reincarnation of Steiner?
could it be Donald Trump?
Hey now! don’t be mean to our Donny. Pick someone from your side of the pond, Professor.
Perhaps your favorite Prince?
alright – Prince Charles?
I see that Mr. Miles Power has uploaded a video to YouTube six days ago in which he comments on the role of HRH Prince Charles in commenting on health matters. THere is even a glimpse of the august but genial host of this blog, near the end, and a comment on the Extraordinary Events at the University.

I too quite like and respect the Queen
And yet there were no lockdowns in that outbreak, which you have GROSSLY exaggerated.
Name Your Source for that absurd figure of 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 or retract the statement.
The Truth is that globally it killed just 151,700 to 575,400.
My source? The CDC:

Mr. Wilkes, I dislike your imperative tone.
The article to which you provided a link, refers to a 2009 H1N1 outbreak.
Note that I wrote (in the first response to this Blog entry) “It seems extraordinary that Steiner could have had such an idea, when a few years before, an H1N1 virus had killed between fifty and a hundred million people.”
Look up when Rudolph Steiner wrote about his ideas, please, and work out what H1N1 pandemic occurred “a few years before”.

Good grief! This is the relevant CDC article:

It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide…
