Karl Lauterbach, Germany’s health minister
The virus is back, baby!
The vax is back!
Take that Putin!
We vax for the Ukraine! We’re taping anti-vaxers to posts!
Germany’s health minister denounced the country’s unjabbed population in a public demand for compulsory vaccination on Thursday.
Karl Lauterbach, Germany’s left-wing Federal Health Minister, salmmed the unvaccinated during a parliamentary debate on Thursday, in which he once against pushed for the implementation of forced vaccination in Germany.
According to a report by Die Welt, Lauterbach blamed unvaccinated people in Germany for the country’s current health situation, claiming that the Federal Republic faces having its health system overloaded.
“The unvaccinated bear the responsibility that we do not get any further,” Lauterbach alleged.
“The whole country will be held hostage by these people,” he continued, adding: “We can no longer afford that”
“2022 is the first year in which we can end the pandemic in Germany with compulsory vaccination,” he went on to say, calling for parliament to vote to make vaccination against the Chinese coronavirus mandatory.
Man werde #Ungeimpfte im #Krankenhaus behandeln müssen, dann befinde sich DE in der "Geiselhaft" genau dieser Menschen, mahnt Gesundheitsminister @Karl_Lauterbach @spdbt. Die #Impfstoffe wirken und müssen eingesetzt werden, um schwere Verläufe und Tode zu verhindern. @bmg_bund pic.twitter.com/y5n9rn5lex

Lauterbach was not the only one calling for Germans to be forced to get the jab, with the health minister’s Green party coalition partner, Robert Habeck, calling for mandatory vaccination in order to, paradoxically, restore “freedom” to Germany.
“People in this country are fed up,” he said as he pushed for a vaccine mandate. “Let’s finally get this pandemic over with, let’s get rid of the virus and then let’s go back to freedom.”
“The freedom interpretation of the few must not lead to the permanent restriction of freedom of the many,” he went on to explain, alluding to the fact that the state would be forcing some people who have not yet received a vaccine to get jabbed.
The pair were met with some resistance in the German parliament, with politician for the right-populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party lambasting those calling for mandatory jabs.
“You’re riding a dead horse, please get off,” AfD’s parliamentary leader, Alice Weidel, told forced vax advocates.
“There is no legitimate and constitutionally permissible justification for introducing mandatory vaccination against Covid-19.”
AfD are the “far-right” party, so they’re constantly denounced as “fascists” by European media.
It’s funny how we are supposed to believe all of these stereotypes about “fascists,” and at the same time believe they are evil for supporting too much freedom for the individual.
This is far from the first time that Lauterbach and his colleagues have called for mandatory coronavirus jabs.
Lauterbach himself has repeatedly demanded the measure be implemented, having previously stated that he has “no plans” to “open everything” on a Federal level despite many other European countries having completely scrapped all of their COVID-19 restrictions.
However, while he has repeatedly called for forced vaccination in the past, Lauterbach’s most recent call for mandatory jabs is strange in that it seems to contradict what are reportedly his less public views on the Wuhan virus.
According to a report by Bild, the German health minister has expressed very different views to those he is usually heard spouting in a recent letter regarding the state of the German pandemic.
Accusing the minister of being in “fear-monger mode”, the publication claims to have seen a letter in which Lauterbach claims that the pandemic has progressed well, and that an “an overloading of the [German] health system” is no longer expected.
Last year, there was a clip of this guy just suddenly fainting at a press conference, but that appears to have been scrubbed clean off the internet.
I guess it was fake news from the Russians or something.
We said from the beginning of the end of the coronavirus earlier this year that it would eventually come back in full force. We’re seeing a lot more stories about it now, with new variants and new mask mandates in various countries and so on.
