O-Ton Marco Buschmann (FDP), Federal Minister of Justice: “If the expert council, the Corona expert council, says that the group of unvaccinated people over 50 in particular is the greatest concern when it comes to the question of a future overload of the intensive care units, we have to find a milder alternative one age-related, a tiered vaccination requirement, very seriously. But the supporters of this tiered vaccination requirement must also seriously ask themselves the question: Is it not conceivable that we could use the very promising antiviral drugs that are showing an extremely high level of effectiveness in the studies if we will make them available quickly and across the board. Isn’t that also a perspective and a contribution to protecting our intensive care units and our hospitals from overload? I don’t trust myself to give a final opinion today. But we have to use these milder alternatives to the best of our ability Examine knowledge and conscience.” Original sound Alice Weidel (AfD), parliamentary group leader: “If the state presumes to decide about the bodies of its citizens, that is an elementary breach of civilization. It is a tragedy that we have to talk about it at all. For a corona vaccination obligation, whether for all or for individual population groups, there is no justification, neither medical nor ethical nor legal.A vaccination against a disease that does not pose a life-threatening threat to more than 99 percent of people.With a vaccine that neither protects against infection nor before reliably protects against the transmission of the pathogen is absurd.” Original sound Heike Baehrens (SPD): “A general obligation to vaccinate from the age of 18 sends the clear message: We are all responsible for one another. The healthy for the sick, adults for children, the young for the old. We are all jointly responsible for who are under enormous strain in our hospitals and care facilities. Let’s defeat the enemy together, who threatens all of us, who threatens all of our health. Let’s stand united against the virus. Vote for general vaccination. Thank you very much.” O-Ton Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP): “Dear colleagues, it is often heard that vaccination is reasonable and that the state obligation is therefore a requirement of social necessity. I expressly share the view that vaccination is reasonable. Nevertheless, I think the idea that the state is responsible for all citizens, which is reasonable, is at least problematic. There can be many different reasons for not getting vaccinated. We make it far too easy for ourselves when we explain Mainly corona deniers and right-wing radicals decided against the vaccination. That is by no means the case. We have to respect that there are psychological or religious reasons worth considering for personally refusing a vaccination. Who would we be if we used these reasons in the sense of general protection would consider inadmissible?Especially since we now know that the protection of others through a vaccination is hardly m honor is given.”
