“We need compulsory vaccination for the pandemic to become endemic.” In her second speech in the Bundestag, SPD MP Carmen Wegge spoke out clearly in favor of mandatory Covid 19 vaccinations last week. In addition, the 32-year-old clearly rejected comparisons with the Nuremberg Code. “Duty and coercion are different in a legal sense,” she said. Half an hour later, Wegge, who had been a professional politician for three months, received her first death threats.
