Life and politics

Huber entered the AfD in 2014 and became after the 2017 German federal election member of the bundestag. [2] In December 2021 Huber left the AfD and their parliamentary group. [3]

Political positions

In autumn 2020 Huber posted several messages in Telegram groups of COVID-Deniers ("Querdenker") and calls on its members to "terrorize" politicians of other parties. [4]

At the end of November 2021, Johannes Huber wrote instructions in a closed Telegram group on how to achieve a false positive test result in a PCR test for a Covid 19 infection. After two weeks of quarantine, one could have achieved the status of a recovered person and, despite the lack of a vaccination, would not be subject to the access restrictions imposed by the 2G rule. When his statements became public he wrote that his instructions were obviously useless and "obviously not serious". [5]

On September 18, 2021, a fatal attack with a firearm on the 20-year-old employee of a gas station was carried out in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. The perpetrator, a 49-year-old man, had been requested by the employee to wear his surgical mask as mandated by the German government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shooting received a lot of public attention and was related by some to the increasing radicalization of the so-called Querdenken movement or to the recent rise of right-wing conspiracy theories, while criminal psychologists pointed to the possibility that the shooter may have been driven by personal or psychological problems. In September 2022, the perpetrator was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in jail; both prosecution and defence lodged appeals against the verdict.
