We first clarify with the Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier how the CDU/CSU stands on compulsory vaccination and ask him why the parliamentary group has not yet submitted its own application for a legal regulation.

We also look at the contributions of guest authors on faz.net/einsprechen who have dealt with compulsory vaccination in the past few weeks.

Professor Stephan Rixen recently voted against a general obligation to vaccinate in the German Ethics Council - we are discussing this with him in a dispute.

In addition, in this special episode, we give an insight into the legal history of compulsory vaccination - helpful not only for exam candidates who have an oral exam ahead of them.

At the end of the program we talk to the FAZ cartoonists Achim Greser and Heribert Lenz about the humorous aspects of the topic.
