Horst Seehofer believes that vaccination should remain voluntary and the state should not protect citizens.

Coronavirus: the second wave, the second closure

Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions. At the time of the decision, 5,000 new infections had been identified per day and the number of deaths from the virus mostly ranged from 50 to 100 in 24 hours. The first step is a partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

No additional rights should be granted to anyone injecting a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the German federal interior minister said in an interview on Sunday. Horst Seehofer emphasized in an interview with Bild am Sonntag that

to discriminate the vaccinated against the vaccinated would amount to making vaccination mandatory, and vaccination should remain voluntary.

“Together we got into the crisis and together we have to fight in solidarity to get out of it,” said a politician from the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU).

Asked what can be done if it is not public institutions but companies or social organizations such as airlines or sports associations that give the vaccinated an advantage, he said that this should be avoided because it would lead to the division of society. “The privilege of one person is to discriminate against another,” he explained.

According to him, the state must remain neutral in any case and cannot protect citizens. Medicine provides practical advice and guidelines on a daily basis, which is an important contribution to enlightenment and understanding, but a policy of restraint is necessary in this area.

Prime Minister Gergely Gulyás previously responded to hvg.hu’s question by dissecting this issue:

In Germany, according to a schedule announced by the federal government, the vaccination campaign officially began on Sunday. Distribution of the first approximately 150,000 doses of vaccine among the provinces was completed on Saturday. Delivery of the vaccine to the provinces is the responsibility of the federal government and the administration of the vaccine is organized by the provincial governments.

The government of the province of Saxony-Anhalt in the east of the country did not adhere to the schedule, the first vaccination was administered as early as Saturday afternoon, which was received with strong disapproval in the federal health ministry. Thus, Edith Kwoizalla, a 101-year-old resident of the Halberstadt nursing home in the Harz Mountains, was the first to receive the first dose of a two-dose vaccine jointly developed by German BioNTech and American Pizer.

In the first phase of the vaccination campaign, at the end of March, 8.6 million people in their 80s, residents and workers of nursing homes and nursing homes, and hospital doctors and nurses across the country will be vaccinated.

According to data from the Robert Koch National Institute of Public Health (RKI) on Sunday, 13,775 infections have been tested in the past 24 hours. Although this is a significant decrease from 22,771 in the previous week, it is mainly due to the fact that there are fewer labs in operation due to the holidays. 356 deaths have been reported in association with the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) disease. The number of confirmed infections amounted to 1,640,858 and the number of deaths in the epidemic to 29,778 in Germany.
