The presence of health economist Lieven Annemans in the Celeval, the advisory body that assists the National Security Council, is seriously questioned by several experts. According to the newspaper De Morgen, it came to a hard confrontation on Wednesday between Annemans, an ardent supporter of easing, and experts who have been warning for the rising corona figures for several weeks.

Both current and former members of the Celeval would – anonymously – question the scientific integrity of Annemans. Too often he would make premature conclusions and then still look for scientific evidence. Typical is the open letter that Annemans signed at the end of August. He later retracted it and was then allowed to join the Celeval.
In De Afspraak Annemans was confronted with the article. “We agreed not to say anything about the internal kitchen,” he said. “I take my assignment to heart in the interest of everyone. If you create a culture of fear, you will get a wrong reaction in the population. We have to stop doing that. The government has called for more balanced measures. That is what I now defend within the Celeval. ”
