Top Swiss Doctor Put in Psych Ward by Police for Covid ‘Misinformation'
2022-11-26
[SlayNews] He looks dangerous. Question is: to whom?
A top doctor has spoken out to reveal how he was arrested by police and put in a psych ward over allegations that his views about treating COVID-19 constituted "misinformation."

Dr. Thomas Binder, a Swiss cardiologist with a doctorate in immunology and virology, says police forcibly took him to a psychiatric ward to be examined for mental illness.

Authorities determined that Binder, who has held a private practice for 24 years, should be examined for mental illness in response to his public criticism of Covid restrictions, mandates, and testing.

Binder had argued that the methods were unscientific.

On April 9, 2020, Binder published a post on his blog that gave an analysis of Covid and the government’s mitigation efforts.

According to WND, the post received 20,000 views and soon caught the attention of the authorities.

He hoped it would prompt action, but two colleagues alerted the chief of state police, claiming Binder was a threat to himself and the government.

On the day before Easter of 2020, he was confronted outside his home by about 60 armed police officers, including 20 with the canton of Aargau’s anti-terrorism unit, ARGUS.

In a recent video interview with independent reporter Taylor Hudak, Binder said that after examining his online posts and messages, police concluded he was not a threat.

However, the officers sent an emergency physician to examine his mental health.

He was then diagnosed with "corona insanity" and placed in a psychiatric unit.

Binder was released on the condition he takes psychiatric medication and continues to practice medicine in Switzerland.

"These are really Soviet-style, [East German]-style psychiatry methods," he said.
