If you follow the vaccination debates about Joshua Kimmich, Sahra Wagenknecht and Richard David Precht, then you have to worry about freedom of expression in Germany.
The “offense” of the three: They asked critical questions about vaccination that are not fully scientifically covered, but that have millions of people on their hearts. Now they are portrayed as madmen, their worries defamed as publicly dangerous insanity.
▶ ︎ Some Green politicians are now even bringing bans on appearances.
Anyone who defends Kimmich, Precht or Wagenknecht on social media is insulted as a vaccination opponent and corona denier. Everyone has to justify themselves to the mob whether they have been vaccinated themselves (yes, I am – and now?).
It is worrying what Corona has triggered in the public debate, how far it has come when people are insulted for asking questions or simply made another personal vaccination decision.
What many also do not want to understand: Whoever puts more and more pressure on unvaccinated people, publicly denounces them and demands consequences, will not achieve that more people get vaccinated.
We need vaccination motivation, not vaccination punishment.
The traffic light parties do not yet form the government, but have a majority in the Bundestag.
You must end the discrimination against the unvaccinated that is operated from the Chancellery.
