In their search for scapegoats for the failed vaccine purchasing policy, politicians have struck gold: The supposedly profit-hungry companies are the culprits.
A comment.
Munich - It is a more than irritating tongue that
crept
into some politicians
' statements
in the run-up to the
"vaccination summit"
: Because the
vaccine manufacturers have proven
to be so unreliable, politicians must now take coercive measures to ensure the protection of the population.
In truth, it was exactly the opposite: private research companies developed the vaccine that would save it at record speed, but due to the failure of politics it does not reach the citizens in Europe in time.
That costs many lives every day.
But the new speech fits into the worldview of the Merkel Republic: good politics are responsible for morality (the refugees! The climate!), Bad companies only for their own profit.
Leaving aside all the garlands of words, the
Berlin vaccination summit
was one
thing
above all: a gigantic
diversionary maneuver
.
The Chancellor wanted to distract from the fact that she had given her oath of office to prevent harm to the German people at the EU cloakroom in Brussels.
And the politicians, who for a year could not think of anything better than
forcing
the citizens into ever new, ever longer, supposedly no-alternative
lockdowns
, wanted to distract companies with their beatings from the fact that, unlike the Asians, they still have any long-term strategy to this day What remained guilty: no timely protection of the homes, no digital lessons, no working mobile phone app for effective tracking of corona risk contacts.
And now we're also
vaccinating
the bottom of the developed world.
Corona lockdown in Germany: the next indictment
The fact that Federal Minister of Economics
Altmaier is
now
threatening
to maintain the lockdown
even if the
incidence value is
below 50 is a cheek.
For months, the citizens have been promised that if they just made an effort, there will be easing.
Now that the 50 has almost been reached, a new firework of fear is being organized around the virus mutants, with the aim of keeping the country locked into April.
That is an indictment.
The next.
