resistanceWill the Minister of Health, before another harsh corona winter arrives, let Germany conduct a last-minute exercise and implement new contact restrictions and complete intensive care units again?It sounds a bit like despair and the last call, although Jens Spann Called to hold a national “action week” in the next few days to finally “significantly” increase the minimum increase in vaccination quotas in accordance with the requirements of RKI President Wieler. Spence, the most important epidemiological consultant, said this is the only way to prevent the fourth wave of “brilliant progress” that has already begun. In early summer, despite the highly contagious Delta variant of the virus, Wieler was cautiously optimistic about the growing willingness to vaccination at that time and the prospects for a mild pandemic in the fall.
Less than three weeks ago Bundestag election Spann is also an important supporter of the coalition’s prime ministerial candidate, because he is a pandemic fighter, and he hopes to win a race against spreading the virus. If he can achieve the ambitious goal of making 5 million vaccine-tired, vaccine-lazy and vaccine-sceptical people show their strength across the country within 7 days, but basically respond to the shovel in the upper arm, it will also be a huge challenge. The ambitious members of the CDU have achieved great success in health policy. This will help him and Armin Laschet participate in a different but equally dramatic catch-up match for his party until September 26. It will make you forget any omissions from previous vaccination campaigns.
Spahn has an ambitious vaccination goal
But before Spann enters the final vaccination battle next week, as the responsible federal minister, he has to endure unpleasant problems. Three months ago, after experiencing a lot of convulsions and a shortage of the economy, a large number of vaccination campaigns began to stagnate, and then almost stagnated. Why is it so promising to gain momentum?
Indeed, all well-known media have provided a lot of information on the subject of vaccination, including the risks and side effects of the new vaccine. However, citizens who listen to the Drosten podcast and appear on the “Illner” program almost every week, in the cycle of science journalists, virologists, and politicians, have given all the arguments in favor of accelerating vaccination rates. This is not the case. Important target group.
Where are the information and advertising campaigns targeting the immigrant environment and young people from educated disadvantaged families? A campaign initiated by the Federal Press Office commissioned by five popular influencers on social networks failed.And maybe in Thuringia, Brandenburg and Saxony, where Quote The lowest, and many people have the greatest reservations about corona measures. Is there a need for a different approach from Western vaccination sites such as Bremen and Schleswig-Holstein? This is the task that the Federal Health Education Center under Spann should complete. At least as important as Spahn’s self-critical way of looking at it is simple vaccination opportunities, such as mobile vaccination teams in front of clubs, shopping malls, stadiums, beer gardens or other popular meeting places, especially young people . A pharmacy will also be a suitable place to immunize in a non-bureaucratic way without an appointment.
Why is the biggest incentive for vaccination used so defensively? This is a return to normal life and freedom, which has lifted many restrictions on daily life and leisure time, and is only aimed at people who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered. Only the green-black state of Baden-Wurttemberg is planning a strict 2-G rule. According to this rule, if more than 390 Covid-19 patients are treated in intensive care units across the country, even if they undergo a corona test, People who have not been vaccinated are basically excluded from public life in the country.
It seems that the fear of alienating voters or pushing them into the arms of the vaccine-skeptical AfD and horizontal thinker movement has prompted the Coalition, the Social Democratic Party and the Green Party to avoid this problem in such a large way. Allowing employers to inquire about the vaccination status of their employees to protect the operating procedures during a pandemic should also affect those who do not like vaccination. Spahn also suspects that the appeal (“vaccinations, vaccinations, vaccinations!”) just one week in late summer may not be enough to approach the 85% target vaccination rate. His requirement has been implemented in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate that employees who could have been vaccinated should refuse to continue to pay their wages while quarantined for 14 days, indicating that more stringent measures are planned to deal with those who do not want to be vaccinated. people. But not before the election, that’s for sure.
