Alice Weidel, December 3, 2021, Corona Policy

AfD Kompakt, December 3, 2021.

What Olaf Scholz and the Minister-presidents have concluded here is an additional document in the hapless and purposeless Corona policy. It simply continues seamlessly according to the motto: If the preventive measures are ineffective and do nothing, we simply make more of them. Children and youth will again be tricked with a general mask obligation during instruction, even though they are the least endangered group of the population and are not vectors of infection events. Contact restrictions for specific population groups are legally questionable, are in fact not enforceable and are thus nothing other than a showy alibi policy. The unconstitutional “2G” rule will not be more sensible for being prescribed as obligatory for the entire country. It merely serves to discriminate against and pressure non-vaccinated citizens and to shovel retail trade into the grave.

Panic-making is no durable policy concept. Instead of diverting from one’s own failures with an unconstitutional vaccination obligation, the policy needs to take hold of concrete measures for the politically incurred emergency situation in nursing, and take care of anyone who voluntarily wants to let himself  be vaccinated and actually make a vaccine available.

A vaccination obligation for medical staff is counter-productive, produces division in the clinics, and will scare off many staff and intensify the personnel shortage. We must shed the policy of force and forbid and return to the citizens’ self-responsibility so as to get out of the dead end of repressive pandemic politics.
