Those who do not want or cannot vaccinate against Corona sometimes feel excluded.
Affected people from the Erding district tell.
Dorfen
- are you actually vaccinated?
That is currently the crucial question.
Many who have not yet been vaccinated feel almost discriminated against - but not everyone who is afraid of the prick is also an opponent of the vaccination.
The 3G rule exacerbates the discussion.
Nevertheless, Dr.
Lorenz Bott-Flügel, chief physician for internal medicine at the Erding Clinic, clearly in favor of immunization: "The side effects are in no relation to an infection."
Corona vaccination as a social problem?
"There is a rift through families and the circle of friends"
For Nicole Schönheit, the subject of Covid vaccination is now a social problem: "There is a rift through families and friends - I can no longer express my opinion without being put in the corner of lateral thinkers." The village woman distances herself from the corona deniers and vaccination opponents.
"I take the virus very seriously - but I am afraid of the vaccination." In her opinion, the vaccines came onto the market too quickly and were not adequately tested, so she hesitated.
"I'm just skeptical about the little-tried and gene-based mRNA and vector vaccines."
However, doctors disagree with this.
The researchers already have experience with other coronaviruses and do not have to start from scratch.
In addition, states around the world have supported the development with hundreds of millions of euros at the same time.
And some test phases, which otherwise took place one after the other, ran parallel, but just as strictly.
Corona vaccination: "Don't get me vaccinated - I'm scared"
Luise König (64) is less well read, she argues from her gut.
"I know so many people who had severe side effects after the vaccination," says the woman from Dorfen.
“I'm not getting vaccinated - I'm scared.” A cousin has had heart problems since the vaccination.
And a friend was sick in bed for weeks after the second prick.
She is generally an opponent of vaccinations.
“The measles, mumps and rubella vaccination triggered autism in a friend's son,” says König.
Dr.
Ludwig Rudolf, however, clearly back, there are clear scientific data on this, explains the former chief physician of the Dorfen clinic.
This alleged cause of autism is nothing but a rumor, which also goes back to a fake study from the 1990s.
"The rumors persist, although it was proven to be fraud at the time," reports Rudolf of the case of the British doctor, who claimed this because of personal economic interests.
Corona vaccination: Doctors want even more people who want to be vaccinated
Many claims about the corona vaccinations that are online would also be incorrect: "In order to get the pandemic under control, as many people as possible have to be vaccinated," concludes Rudolf.
Head physician Bott-Flügel also wants more people willing to vaccinate: "It's not just about protecting your own skin, there is also a social aspect - you also protect people in the vicinity." Because the Delta variant, the The cardiologist and pulmonologist knows that it is on the advance, be highly aggressive.
And: “There are hardly any diseases for which there is a contraindication.” Of course, people with chronic diseases should clarify immunization with the treating specialist in advance.
There is also a risk-benefit assessment for pregnant women.
Unvaccinated in the corona pandemic: "The pressure is getting higher and higher"
47-year-old Anna from Taufkirchen suffers from lupus erythematosus, a rare autoimmune disease. She doesn't want to read her last name in the newspaper. “I'm almost bullied by my colleagues because I'm not vaccinated - I don't want people on the street to look at me wrongly,” she says. Her doctor had made her aware of the side effects and advised against the vaccination. “But people don't understand that. Colleagues and even many friends say I'm just pushing the disease forward. "
Lupus and other autoimmune diseases require medical consideration, confirms Bott-Flügel. “The effect of the vaccine is greatly suppressed. It's like being vaccinated with a fever, the protection fizzles out. You think you are safe, but you are not. ”There are also immune diseases with an increased risk of thrombosis:“ Anyone who has such pre-existing conditions is usually in dialogue with the doctor treating them. ”Bott-Flügel advises people with allergies to clarify the components of the vaccine in advance.
Since the 3G rule came into force, people who have not been vaccinated have to prove more often that they are corona negative.
“That's okay with me,” says Nicole Schönheit, “I know about the risk of infection, then I have to stay at home or have myself tested.” However, Luise König doesn't think it's fair that she has to be tested before going to a restaurant: “The The pressure is getting higher and higher. ”
