Optionally carried out on your own responsibility, partly by medical staff.

claims

Corona vaccination centers in Germany: Serious criticism from a Berlin vaccination doctor

“I ask where the rapid test is taking place.

The leader's answer: 'That is not planned.'

There are neither rapid tests nor the facilities for them, ”said the doctor, who does not want to be named.

On the vaccination street in the vaccination centers, on the other hand, there is “a lot of coming and going”.

His criticism: The risk of infection in the vaccination centers themselves is allegedly high because of many contacts and allegedly inadequate corona protective measures.

• Alleged deficiencies in corona protective measures in Berlin vaccination centers:

• Allegedly, vaccination doctors, medical personnel and assigned Bundeswehr soldiers do not have a fever.

• Allegedly too many contacts on the vaccination streets.

• Allegedly careless handling of hygiene regulations.

• Allegedly no quick tests for the vaccinate.

“Now let's imagine that the colleague who obviously had a cold or another, asymptomatic colleague was infected with the coronavirus.

Then they could have infected the other doctors as well as the documentation assistants and the soldiers that day, ”he continued.

With regard to high-risk patients, the doctor said: “Above all, they would have been a danger for the mostly immunocompromised patients.

They come in the belief that every precaution will be taken in the vaccination center to prevent that from happening.

Where if not in this place? "

Doctor from Berlin: Allegedly inadequate corona protective measures in German vaccination centers

In summary he could only say: “I am stunned by the carelessness with which we vaccinate.

Every doctor and every employee who works in a vaccination center must at least do a quick test beforehand.

Otherwise, in the worst case scenario, a corona protection center will become a corona dissemination center, ”the Berlin doctor explained to the

NZZ

.

In the vaccination center in the former Tempelhof airport, the vaccinees had not even had a fever, he continued.

As the

NZZ

writes, the Berlin Senate Department for Health did not want to comment on the vaccination doctor's allegations on written request.
