Life and politics

edit

Huber was born 1987 in the West German town of Moosburg and studied sociology at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.[1]

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

edit

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]
