Every duty doesn't just need a reason.
It must also be able to be fulfilled.
The gods have hopefully placed the vaccine before the possible vaccination obligation, which the coalition has refined to a question of conscience and postponed to spring.
If this is missing despite the demand, then it would be embarrassing - and another duty came into focus: the duty of the state to procure sufficient quantities of the vaccine developed in this country.
And to exhaust all other means in order to fight the pandemic in a way that is both freedom-saving and effective.
A job-related compulsory vaccination could and should have been introduced long ago - naturally accompanied by persuasion. And a general duty from which we are not far removed due to the many 2-G rules? Even the FDP, the liberal corrective of this government according to the demands and expectations of not only its supporters, is dawning that freedom and duties are not mutually exclusive. Even the application by the advocate of a “right to autonomous action”, Wolfgang Kubicki, apparently does not fundamentally reject the obligation to vaccinate. In the case of measles and smallpox, the spread is expected to stop. Something similar was said to be “not definable with the vaccines currently available because it cannot be achieved” with Corona.
However, the risk of overloading the health system can be contained.
A majority for the in principle globally recognized instrument of compulsory vaccination should be certain, especially since the Union wants to agree.
MEPs not only from the FDP will insist on a rather simple concept of freedom.
Certainly: If the vaccine is there and every citizen has been written to, as the application suggests, the balance must be reconsidered.
But the pandemic continues.
Will the vaccination opponents become lockdown fans?
Or should we learn to live with an unnecessarily large number of people who have died in agony?
Nobody is an island, not even in the Wadden Sea.
