With sometimes drastic words, actor Jan Josef Liefers reported on his use in a corona intensive care unit. “All Covid patients here in intensive care were seriously ill, closer to death than life. All young, from 28 to 48 years old. All unvaccinated, ”wrote the 57-year-old Tatort star in a guest post for bild.de.
Accordingly, two very pregnant women were among the named patients, “whose children were fetched by emergency operation and are still alive”. The mothers, however, would not have made it, wrote Liefers.
The “Tatort” star took part in the #allesdichtmachen campaign in spring, in which dozens of film and television actors commented on corona politics in Germany with ironic-satirical clips. After strong criticism, Liefers announced in a dispute with Health Minister Jens Spahn that he would register for the counter-action #allemalneschichtmachen.
The medical blogger “Doc Caro” had called on the actors to work for a shift in the ambulance service or in an intensive care unit.
According to Liefers, he was employed as an “intern” two weeks ago. “I couldn’t help much, I was only able to make myself useful when moving, wrapped in additional protective clothing, with an FFP2 mask and a kind of diving goggles on my eyes.”
Why it hits some so hard is still unclear, wrote Liefers. “However, nurses and doctors agreed that no one would have ended up here with a vaccination.”
No general vaccination call
Liefers did not want to call for vaccinations directly: “Is that a vaccination call after all? Well what can I say? I am in favor of adult vaccination, absolutely clear. But I’m not giving medical advice, I’m just telling my story. The decision is up to you. ”

The guest post shows that the 57-year-old was given an mRNA vaccine.
Liefers concludes with the words: “When I think back to my day at the ITS and how the strange and sometimes ruthless lottery of life went there for the seven, then I know in any case, I made no mistake.”
development
Jan Josef Liefers’ contribution is also remarkable because it shows a development. With #allesdichtmachen, the actor was much more on the side of the Corona skeptics. Even in his media appearances after the action became known, Liefers showed solidarity with the other activists. At “May Illner” he had complained that the action had hit a neuralgic point, there was also strong applause. And: There are more and more people who say that one shouldn’t say this and that any more. In any case, Jan Josef Liefers left the impression that he would repeat such an action. Also because only such an action can generate such attention.
Here the critic of this “Maybrit Illner” edition was wrong. Jan Josef Liefers went his own way, he went to the clinic, to the intensive care unit. And he did not take part in the action #allesaufidentisch “by Volker Bruch and Wotan Wilke Möhring. What a difference! (with dpa)
