People who have not been vaccinated may get infected
According to the CEO National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), Andreas Gassen, uses corona to infect almost all unvaccinated people. “We will see that in the next few months, all people who have not been vaccinated are very likely to be infected,” Gasson told broadcaster Bild TV on Sunday evening.
Measures other than vaccination cannot prevent coronavirus. Garson said: “It is a deceptive security measure when people think that because they don’t go to carnival or still wear masks in the subway, they can be protected from corona infection.”
“Only when the majority of the population is actually vaccinated or recovered, will we have peace in the sense of the epidemic,” said KBV boss. Gasson said that the proportion of people who have not been vaccinated is 30%.
Teachers’ Association advocates mandatory wearing of masks
In view of the increasing number of infections, the German Teachers’ Association warned that schools may lose control of the pandemic. “There have been terrible incidents among children and young people,” the president of the association Heinz-Peter Medinger told the German editorial. “The large number of new crown pneumonia outbreaks in schools must arouse our great attention.” The risk of losing control is huge.
Medinger pleaded to continue to comply with the requirement to wear masks: “I think if the federal states, contrary to the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute, abandon the requirement to wear masks in schools, even though the infection rate of school children is rising, I think it is very worthwhile. Suspicious. Cross the roof.” Research shows that mask requirements make schools safer. The president of the association warned that the leaders of these countries should not place their political will above scientific expertise.
