The first corona vaccinations have started in Germany.
However, there could be problems with the vaccine supply.
Norbert Röttgen criticizes.
The number of
Covid 19 cases
in
Germany is
still very high.
Corona risk groups
and important medical staff vaccinated in this country
since December 27th
.
Nevertheless, the supply of
vaccine doses is
not
going
completely smoothly.
Berlin - Shortly before Christmas, many people in
Germany
breathed a sigh of relief
.
After weeks of testing, the
corona vaccine was
approved
by Biontech and Pfizer
in the
EU
.
Since then, the serum has also been used in this country in the fight against the
coronavirus
*
.
It has already been administered to the first people in Germany.
So far, no other vaccine besides the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine has been approved in the European Union.
In contrast, Great Britain
approved the second vaccine
with the serum from
Oxford University and the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca
.
Meanwhile,
bottlenecks
in the
corona vaccine
threaten within the EU
.
Critical words came from
Biontech boss Ugur Sahin
, who accused the European Union of failings.
It took too long in the EU for the order to go out, said
Sahin
*
.
Some critics also thought that the amount ordered could be expanded.
Norbert Röttgen (CDU): Error in Corona policy - Germany "always too late"
That is why the
federal government
had to
listen to criticism
for its
corona policy
.
From the point of view of
CDU
*
politician
Norbert Röttgen
*
, who is also trying to become the CDU chairman in the 2021 election year, mistakes have been made in dealing with the
corona pandemic
*
.
“It is one of the lessons of the year that,
despite the experiences of the first wave
, we
were and are
always too late
,” said Röttgen in an interview with Die
Welt
.
"We have to evaluate this self-critically, at this point we have to change, also with a view to other crises," warned the
candidate
for the
CDU party chairmanship
*
.
"Otherwise we will immediately gamble away people's newly gained trust."

Röttgen
said that the federal government around
Chancellor
* Angela Merkel
* cut
a good figure
at the beginning of the
Corona
* crisis
.
“That brought back a profound trust that resonates.” However, politicians have a duty to continue to make the right decisions.
This is the only way to be sure of the continued trust of the population, said Röttgen to concerns.
Norbert Röttgen (CDU): Lift restrictions "if someone cannot endanger others"
When asked whether
vaccinated people
should get
special rights
, Röttgen saw “some
practical difficulties
.
You can't tell if you have been vaccinated.
Should everyone have a vaccination card with them?
And then there would have to be
controls
too
. "
The question of how #vaccinated people should live is falsely debated morally.
It would be more important to talk about it from a pragmatic point of view.
There are practical difficulties because you cannot tell whether someone is vaccinated or not.
We need to clarify these questions.

The
Christian Democrat
sees the situation more clearly “when someone can no longer endanger others.” Röttgen made it clear: “When the practical questions have been resolved and there are
no more objective reasons for the restrictions
, then
they must be lifted
