For all people who think you shouldn't question or criticize the government's Corona measures without being socially sanctioned - here it is!
The ultimate proof that this is not the case.
Every time someone has the feeling that »the media« report one-sidedly or that »the discourse« does not permit a contrary opinion or that »the media elite« »cancels« any contradiction in social media or that »politics« cannot be countered, they send just give him this text.
(This demonstration only works if I still have my column next week.)
What I've always wanted to say and dare to say
Schools are far too badly protected to open.
Parents are given far too little support not to open schools.
Political solution: Accept that children are badly protected.
Angela Merkel's failure to act after the Easter break gate and a more than 14-day political break is a total failure of this government.
It was perhaps a sign of greatness that she assumed sole responsibility, the subsequent inaction is a scandal that unnecessarily cost human lives.

Born in Munich in 1984, is an actress and author.
In 2016 her book “The 100 most important things” (with Timon Kaleyta and Martin Schlesinger) was published by Hatje Cantz Verlag.
In 2009 she was the candidate for chancellor of the »party«, which at the time was not allowed to vote in the federal elections.
She was recently awarded the Bert Donnepp Prize for media journalism for her media-critical column »Wochenschau« (uebermedien.de).
You have to compare Germany's fight against pandemics with that of other countries, for example with Portugal, and when Jens Spahn or others say that you can't do that, then you just have to say: yes!
The only partially effective night curfew is a joke if you leave many companies and offices open at the same time without compulsory testing.
I cannot believe that the government, for fear of the economy, makes neither the tests nor the FFP2 mask compulsory at the workplace, because otherwise the employees would have to take too many breaks.
The protection of human life must not be offset against economic considerations.
The government provides poor people with the worst protection against falling ill.
The fact that Hartz4 recipients have to pay for their FFP2 masks themselves is even more cynical than all of the #all sealing videos put together.
Hartz4 has to go.
The measures are leaving the art and culture industry deserted and the government obviously doesn't care.
Anyone who describes culture as a »leisure activity« in policy papers hates it.
I don't want to see any more politicians at any cultural events that are currently not passionate about the entire industry.
I am afraid of this virus and I don't want to get sick.
I knew people who died of Corona and I am afraid of suffering from Long-Covid for my whole life.
Therefore, I am in favor of a hard lockdown, with which the numbers can be brought down as quickly as possible, as long as it happens socially and economically fairly - which is currently not the case.
That's how it breaks people.
Migrants are said to be more likely to contract Covid than average.
You can easily say that without being considered a racist, if you don't claim afterwards that it is because they deliberately adhere to the rules less.
(But because statistically they work more often in care, factories, logistics or supermarkets, where they are exposed to the virus.)
I can no longer watch conversations with Peter Altmaier.
It is now unbearable how he ignores scientific facts in order to advance economic interests.
His appearances with Anne Will did the rest for me.
It makes me swoon that in the debates we often fail to include the economic perspective and to recognize our own blind spots.
I believe that our discourses in social and public media have to change if we want to use them to get really transformative processes going.
I think it's a scandal that you can no longer get an unconditionally free current account in this country.
I just want interest.
I can't and don't want to invest in stocks or NFTs.
I don't have a driver's license and I'll never get one.
I find some cars aesthetically pleasing and I can understand the joy of driving.
However, I don't want to live in a country where people tend to listen more to the car lobby than to cultural workers.
I felt ripped off by #specialheroes.
All media are stupid!
I don't mean that unironically!
I don't want EM games to take place in Munich with spectators, whether vaccinated or not, as long as other cultural areas such as cinemas, concerts or theaters remain closed, although they also have hygiene concepts.
I hate Brussels sprouts.
I am happy for and with everyone who is vaccinated.
But the vaccination selfies are on my timeline.
I don't care what you dress for vaccination.
But as I said about the vaccination itself: YEAH!
"Tenet" by Christopher Nolan was the best film of 2020. The fact that it was not liked by many film critics and hardly considered at the Oscars shows me that many people lack cinematic competence.
Many of the self-employed and entrepreneurs affected by the lockdowns have not only lost their income for over a year, they not only slip into basic security or are forced to use up financial reserves, they also pay less for their pensions through no fault of their own.
Therefore, I demand that all those affected receive at least one guaranteed pension point for 2020/21 as compensation and for compensatory justice.
This long-term economic disadvantage must finally be clarified and eliminated.
We live in a time in which we are more scientifically informed than before and the likely consequences of our actions need to be clear to us.
You may be smarter and smarter afterwards, but if you don't want to be smart and act stupid beforehand, you act ideologically.
All commentators at the end of this article are right.
Even those who are wrong.
The number of characters available to me in my column is far too few.
As a result, I can often no longer explain complex relationships!
Dear SPIEGEL, I would like that
