Ulrich Oehme, March 5, 2021, Vaccination

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 19/216, p. 27234. 

Right honorable Herr President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen.

Since the beginning of Corona, the solution of this crisis was narrowed by the Federal government and parts of the opposition to only one possibility of termination: The vaccination panacea. And the people were ever further distressed with PCR, rapid and antigen tests of unspecified time. When may you finally begin to put your strategy on scientific fundamentals? And how will you know which herd immunity meanwhile has been achieved? Many citizens possibly need not be immunized, since they have developed antibodies. We must finally develop a scientifically based strategy.

            René Röspel (SPD): A tin foil hat strategy!

What the Federal government is offering us is an unbearable chaos. Each draft law or motion was placed on the same shaky scientific fundamental and stubbornly adjusted to this one solution.

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Perhaps you need a strategy.

And apparently colleagues of this house are still making a monetary profit out of it.

A large part of the people are more than sceptical in regards the analyses, evaluations and the derived preventive measures; those whose discontent since last summer was nevertheless ignored. That now a Herr Lauterbach, one of the leading Corona, test and lockdown zealots, is now for a rapid conclusion to this situation, is a more than transparent diversion. Who at one time demanded water cannons against peaceful protesters, need not now think that the people have for once forgotten everything.

Do you still remember the swine flu of 2009-2010? Of the 34 million doses delivered at that time, only about 5.7 million doses were used to vaccinate. Why? Because – first – the people were not willing to be used as test rabbits, and – second – the quarantine measures concerned sufficed to master the outbreak. “Swine flu” is now called “Covid-19”; nothing has been changed.

            Carsten Schneider (SPD-Erfurt): Oh Gott!

Now here the FDP’s motion comes into play. And now the people’s vaccination readiness is not very high,

            Carsten Schneider (SPD-Erfurt): My goodness!

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): In which world do you live? I think you come from                    Saxony!

primarily because an alleged wonder vaccine again does not produce the promised effect. And at the same time heap up reports of side-effects, problems of compatibility and even cases of death, which have not been investigated. And why does Pfizer practice a recall of its vaccine?

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Nah, it might be slowly embarrassing for me.

And despite this, you stubbornly hold fast to this one solution. The motion sounds good. It is nevertheless not the solution. Since the pandemic could in a brief time alone subside, possibly yet again millions of unused vaccine doses might need to be destroyed.

            Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus (FDP): Such idiocy!

Instead of evidence of antigens, we should test for evidence of antibodies. The test for antigens should only be done for people with serious symptoms, not for everyone.

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Is it still not done, the AfD delegation’s speech?

That would be essentially more cost beneficial, in the long-term more meaningful and plausible to the citizens.  

            Andrew Ullmann (FDP): Which evidence do you then have for that?

It may be once more recalled that the European Council in this year’s Resolution 2361 has maintained that there may be no compulsory vaccination and no one on grounds of non-vaccination may be discriminated against.

It is fermenting in the people; the state framework groans under this unnecessary load. Open the cages, give back to the people their legally vested rights of freedom, unchain the economy from the sanctions and, without masks, let this country breathe again.

Many thanks.

Kordula Schulz-Asche (Greens): “Let all the people die”, that is the demand that after all you have!

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): You must nevertheless put on the mask here!           

            Kordula Schulz-Asche (Greens): And in fact over the nose!
