Vaccination summit: freedom for vaccinated people - what else?

display

The Chancellor will meet again today with the country leaders for a vaccination summit.

Also on the agenda is the question of the conditions under which the restrictions on basic rights for vaccinated people and those who have recovered from Corona can come to an end.

A decision is not to be expected, it is said in advance.

The topic is bulky and complex.

Indeed?

Actually there is nothing to discuss - nothing at all.

Ensures that those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered can exercise their basic rights again.

Right away.

Without any restriction.

The argument against it is that one does not want to create a two-class society.

On the one hand vaccinated people who enjoy their freedom, on the other hand non-vaccinated people who continue to live under restrictions.

That would lead to greater vaccination envy, it is said, to a punch and stab for the rare vaccine.

Fundamental rights are not a privilege

Anyone who thinks this way does not trust us to deal with solidarity when people who are no longer at risk of infection enjoy more freedom than those who can infect themselves and others.

A large majority in the country has shown common sense in the face of strict but undoubtedly necessary measures and continues to do so.

There is no fundamental mistrust.

Fundamental rights are not a privilege, but exactly what their name says.

The normal case is that they apply.

Anyone who wants to withhold them from people so that everyone is as equal as possible and thus calm has to give a good reason.

And that should be difficult.

It was right to vaccinate the elderly and chronically ill first, the weakest in our society.

With those now immunized and not at risk of infection, it is only appropriate that they be the first to be freed of restrictions.

Anyone who has determined a sequence of vaccinations must be so consistent as to allow a sequence for the return to a normal (er) life.

The federal and state governments should now only have one debate: How do you professionally organize evidence for vaccinated people that is suitable for everyday use. That shouldn't be a problem in Germany as a high-tech location. And if we do, we'll walk around the country for a while with the good old vaccination book.
