At a federal election event, Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had a heated debate with anti-corona vaccine opponents.
Churches - Shortly before the federal election in 2021 *, Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had a heated debate with anti-corona * vaccine opponents during an election campaign in churches in Rhineland-Palatinate on Friday (17.09.2021).
Several Twitter videos testify to this.
Spahn's campaign speech in front of the local hospital was repeatedly disrupted with boos, whistling concerts and heckling, reports the Altenkirchener Kurier.
Bundestag election: Spahn vigorously contradicts anti-corona vaccination campaigners
When the CDU politician, whose party is still in the polls *, asked for questions from the audience, a woman named Lilli answered.
At the event for the federal election she wore a T-shirt with the inscription: "You can vaccinate yourself Spahn".
Your points of criticism: The corona vaccines have not undergone any carcinogenicity studies (studies on long-term effects and cancer-causing potential -
editor's note
), there is a risk of heart muscle inflammation and only a few corona infected people between the ages of ten and 19 have died.
“Why should I vaccinate myself?” She asked Spahn.

Spahn on corona vaccines: "Jesus Christ folks, let's stick with the truth"
His answer: The corona vaccines were approved in a procedure by the European Medical Agency (EMA). After only a few sentences, the Christian Democrat was interrupted by heckling again. The interferers claimed that the vaccines were only "conditionally approved". Here Spahn contradicted vigorously: "Good God folks, let's stick to the truth," he shouted. Because: In the USA and Great Britain there was an emergency approval - in the EU, however, a proper approval.
In December, Spahn had to take a lot of criticism for the fact that the corona vaccines had already received emergency approval elsewhere. “We took a closer look, got proper approval, that was the reason. So: let's stick with the facts, ”said Spahn. "The vaccine itself is no longer in the body after a few days or weeks," the member of the Bundestag continued. Immediately there was howling and laughter again. One person shouted, "All at once".
Thereupon Spahn got louder: “Not all at once!
The vaccine is gone, the immune response is still there.
We have now carried out hundreds of millions of vaccinations around the world.
If everything that is always said in the Whatsapp groups really happened, then it should have happened a long time ago.
When will you finally accept: Everything that has been said all day, from infertility to Bill Gates and Jens Spahn trying to plant some chips in you - none of it happened.
Let's look at the facts instead of what is in the Whatsapp group ”.
Bundestag election campaign: Spahn refers to RKI data for corona vaccination for young people
With regard to the corona vaccination for young people, Spahn referred to the data evaluation by the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) at the federal election campaign event - also with data from other countries.
“At www.rki.de, you will find 30 pages with all references to the relevant studies.
This is not an assumption or an assertion, it is derived from scientific studies.
Evidence that shows very clearly that with the delta variant, the probability is very high that every unvaccinated person will become infected in the next six months ”.
Based on the data, Stiko carried out a risk assessment.

Spahn emphasized that he had suspended the corona vaccinations with Astrazeneca * when reports of the dangers of cerebral vein thrombosis surfaced. “When in doubt, we play it safe,” said the minister and continued: “If you look at what the infection can cause and what the risks of the vaccination are, then the risk of infection is many times higher. So: get vaccinated ”.
Apparently, Spahn's arguments did not convince Lilli.
She said: Spahn had been wrong in the past with predictions about incidences and a lockdown.
So she wondered why she should believe him about vaccinating.
Spahn's answer: “You don't have to believe me, you don't anyway.
Just listen to the scientists, doctors and researchers.
That would be enough ”.
