For months, Lisa Maria Kellermayr has been terrorized by corona deniers and opponents of vaccination. The doctor, who is highly committed to Corona, even has to close her practice. Now she died there. Without third-party fault, as the police say.
The Austrian doctor Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, who had been under threat for months, was found dead in her practice in Seewalchen am Attersee. According to the “Standard”, the police found no evidence of third-party debt. According to the “Kurier” farewell letters were found. The doctor has been threatened for months by corona deniers and opponents of vaccination, both physically and online. She had to close her practice because of the high security costs.
Kellermayr had appeared publicly as a corona expert several times and had always referred to the effectiveness of the vaccination. So she became the target of radical forces. On her website, she announced that she had been subjected to reprisals “from the anti-Covid measures and anti-vaccination scene” at irregular intervals for more than seven months. You have already spent 100,000 euros on protective measures and employed a security employee to protect yourself and your employees.
At the same time, the doctor sparked another debate: Kellermayr openly stated that she no longer felt protected enough by the police. She never received personal protection, only a patrol was sent from time to time.
There were threats to the end. As reported by “Standard”, a man from Upper Bavaria wrote on Twitter just a few days ago that she would be dragged before a “people’s tribunal”. So he did that before. Kellermayr took legal action against him, but the German authorities probably did not react: the statement was probably covered by freedom of expression, it was said.
The police in Upper Austria said of her death: “The case is very unfortunate. We have looked after Ms. Kellermayr intensively since November. We intensified that again after she closed her practice. She was regularly contacted by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.” The investigations against the threats are still ongoing. Some of them were discontinued because responsibility falls into the hands of Germany. There are indications of suspects who could have written the threatening letters.
“What can happen to me can happen to any citizen who is not a celebrity or has special connections,” Kellermayr recently told the “Standard”. The state must protect threatened citizens. In their case, the authorities would have failed.
