Heinrich Fiechtner
Heinrich Ekkehard Fiechtner is a German conspiracy theorist, haematologist and internal oncologist, palliative medicine specialist and politician.
From 2016 to 2021 he was a member of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg for Alternative for Germany. He resigned from the party and parliamentary group at the end of November 2017, because he felt there were too many individuals holding anti-Semitic sentiments within the party. He identifies as a supporter of Israel and Germany's Jewish population. Fiechtner and AfD legislator Wolfgang Gedeon, both doctors, exchanged certificates for exemption from the mask requirement in a video in 2020.
Fiechtner has been described as a radical critic of public health measures against COVID-19, including mask mandates, tests, and lockdowns. He refused to receive vaccinations for COVID-19, and was a member of a pseudoscientific medical group "World Doctors Alliance" which was found to be spreading false and conspiratorial claims about COVID-19.
Fiechtner was expelled from the Stuttgart State Parliament in 2021 by the police after rebuking members of the other parties for being responsible for a riot during the night in the center of Stuttgart. Later, he won a related case on partial claims before the State Constitutional Court of Baden Wuerttemberg.
