The parliamentary managing director of the FDP parliamentary group, Marco Buschmann, rejects fines for people who miss an appointment for a corona vaccination.
Berlin - "A punishment is wrong," said the parliamentary manager of the FDP parliamentary group Marco Buschmann on Monday in the ARD "Morgenmagazin".
“If I now expose people to a risk of penalties when they sign up, then I'm going to make sure that fewer people sign up.
And that's the opposite of what we need.
We need as many vaccinated people as possible. "
A government intervention such as a fine will not help to increase the vaccination rate, said Buschmann.
Consent is required for every medical intervention.
"Consent presupposes that people have freely chosen this treatment, and I don't think it's good if we come with coercive measures because that would affect this consent." (Dpa)
