Corona vaccine procurement: Why the SPD is now shooting against Angela Merkel

At the end of January Hamburg's First Mayor Peter Tschentscher saw the head of the Chancellery on a talk show, and what he heard made him angry.

Helge Braun (CDU) says that the federal government did not make any mistakes when ordering vaccines.

Tschentscher sees it completely differently.

The Social Democrat has before his eyes the paper that the Federal Minister of Health sent out in October and in which 5 million to 12.5 million doses of the Biontech vaccine were promised by the end of 2020.

Tschentscher remembers how at that time he calculated at least 7000 vaccinations per day for Hamburg and then organized a vaccination center with doctors and nurses in a few weeks.

To find out later that Germany would initially only get very few vaccine doses from Biontech.

From his point of view, Tschentscher has done his job, unlike the Federal Minister of Health and the Chancellery, who are responsible for procuring vaccines.

And now he hears Braun claiming the opposite on television.
