DThe increasing number of coronavirus infections has sparked a debate about more restrictions on unvaccinated people. “This is not discrimination against people who have not been vaccinated,” said the Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Sihofer (CSU) In an interview with RTL/ntv. If someone decides not to vaccinate for personal reasons, he will respect it. “But those who have not been vaccinated must also understand that we must protect the entire society, so only vaccinated people can participate in larger community events.”
At the same time, Seehofer opposed a Compulsory vaccination“We must convince people that they will be vaccinated.” Most importantly, vaccination should not be a prerequisite for employment or signing an insurance contract. “We cannot start in Germany,” said the Federal Minister of the Interior.

And left boss Jenny Wisler Oppose Braun’s advancement. She told Le Monde that it is wrong to threaten to discriminate against people who have not been vaccinated. Especially since the permanent vaccination committee still does not have vaccination recommendations for many people, such as children under twelve years of age and pregnant women.
Criticism comes from Liberal Democratic PartyThe deputy chairman of the Bundestag, Wolfgang Kubicki, described Braun’s proposal on Sunday as “introducing mandatory vaccination through the back door” and “clearly unconstitutional”. Montgomery severely criticized these objections. Anyone who, like the Liberal Democratic Party, suspects that vaccination is mandatory to pass through the back door and who refuses vaccination enjoys more rights is serving “primitive populism” and does not correctly understand the concept of freedom. “Only through vaccination, we can regain our freedom. The Liberal Democratic Party-the so-called Liberal Party-should finally understand this,” Montgomery said.
