The virologist was already under heavy pressure in 2020 due to the corona measures and the criticism of RIVM. Then out of nowhere came the theory that he was a child murderer. “The family is scarred for life by libel, slander and threats,” the RIVM writes. “A person’s life has been turned upside down by a made-up story.”
In their internet videos, Joost K., Wouter R, and Hans de M. not only threatened Van Dissel with death, but also Prime Minister Rutte, Minister De Jonge and a doctor in Bodegraven. They did this on the basis of stories from Joost K., who claims that he is a victim.
Eight years ago, K. suddenly started telling that he used to be abused together with other children at a daycare center in Bodegraven. There he would even have seen Jaap van Dissel turn a child’s neck.
Micha K, Wouter R. and Hans van M. believed these ‘recovered memories’ and started an online campaign, spreading calls to pluck those ‘responsible’ from the street, try them and execute them. The cemetery in Bodegraven was turned into a sea of flowers by followers who believed that victims of ritual abuse were buried there. There is no evidence whatsoever for such a network, emphasizes the court chairman. “There are only assumptions and thoughts and patterns.” The case against the conspiracy theorists will continue on Thursday.
