Politikberatung durch Expert*innenräte in der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie in Deutschland: Eine Dokumentenanalyse aus Public-Health-Perspektive

Abstract: Hintergrund In der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie muss die Politik weitreichende Entscheidungen treffen, die von wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen gestützt sein sollten. Angesichts der zumeist limitierten Evidenz in Krisensituationen stellt dies eine große Herausforderung dar, insbesondere in frühen Phasen der Pandemie. Entscheidungsträger*innen haben daher wissenschaftliche Expert*innen einbezogen, welche die Evidenzlage vermitteln und kontextualisieren sollten. Die Formen dieser Konsultationen variierten st… Show more

“…Germany was in the top 10% of nations on the GHS Index in October 2019, but eight other European countries were ranked higher [ 57 ]. All 16 of Germany’s states also had pandemic plans, but in the early weeks of the pandemic many politicians went beyond what the plans had defined in terms of consulting experts [ 247 ]. For one commentator writing in early April 2020, and comparing Germany’s much higher rate of testing and lower case fatality rate than in other countries such as the United Kingdom, “the country was meticulously prepared for a pandemic” [ 248 ].…”

“…Various potential weaknesses in the German response to the pandemic were also subsequently described. A detailed documentary analysis from a public health perspective of the role of expert committees suggested they were “not sufficiently representative and interdisciplinary to take different perspectives into account” [ 247 ]. Despite the initial success in introducing large-scale testing more rapidly than many other European countries, later, in the face of further surges and increasing disagreements between the federal and state governments, it was suggested that “the lack of reliable data” to fully inform policies, including data on issues such as variants, might have been one of the reasons behind the surges [ 253 ].…”

“…In many countries, economic expertise was part of the policy advice process, and socio-psychological aspects were frequently considered by policy-makers. 3 There is, however, mounting evidence to support the claim that there existed an epistemic imbalance in favour of a biomedical perspective and that policy-making was primarily based on biomedical and epidemiological evidence (see Jasanoff et al, 2021;Sell et al, 2021). 4 COVID-19 task forces were dominated by medical experts and policy documents were predominantly informed by biomedical and epidemiological expertise.…”
