Harald Walach

[3] He worked for a time at the University of Northampton,[4] then as director of the Institute of Transcultural Health Studies at Europa Universität Viadrina,[4] where he led a training course for doctors in complementary medicine and cultural sciences.

[18] Starting in 2001, along with theoretical physicists Hartmann Römer and Harald Atmanspacher, Walach developed when they termed a model of "weak quantum theory" or "generalised entanglement" that purported to explain anomalous phenomena, such as non-specific therapy effects and parapsychological claims.

[22] In 2012, Walach received the negative prize "Goldenes Brett" from Austrian skeptics, an annual award for the "most astonishing pseudo-scientific nuisance" of the year.

[27] In June 2021, Walach published two high profile papers containing research pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic, one exaggerating the risks of vaccination, and the other concluding that children should not wear masks.

[36] In a press statement, the Poznań University of Medical Sciences dissociated itself from Walach and asserted that his vaccine study "misleadingly used data to yield conclusions that are wrong and may lead to public harm.
