AfD Kompakt, August 3, 2021.
Children should be vaccinated against the Corona virus with
only one, single object: So as to protect them from a health risk which for
them is associated with a Covid-19 illness. The risk for healthy children to
become seriously ill or indeed to die of Covid-19 is in fact vanishingly small.
A present study, conducted in England from March 2020 to February 2021, yielded
first of all that among those under 18 years the risk of a fatal development of
Covid-19 is one in a million.
Opposed to that, the risk of becoming ill with a heart
muscle inflammation as a result of vaccination with an mRNA vaccine is presently
declared by the German Heart Institute to be one in 100,000. Still more
important: Studies of possible long-term consequences of a Corona vaccination,
namely for children, are so far still incomplete.
Against this background, the AfD categorically rejects the recommendation,
or certainly yesterday’s decision of the health ministers’ conference, for an
initial obligation for the vaccination of children above 12 years who do not belong
to those groups at risk for Covid-19, those with weakened immune systems or
special pre-existing illnesses.
This also especially pertains to all preventive measures
which in fact require parents to nevertheless vaccinate their healthy children.
It is unethical to put in play the health of children and youth so that at-risk
groups of adults do not become ill with Corona. Who nevertheless demands this has
to this day not understood the term Kindeswohl
[child welfare] which plays a central role in our legal order.
