According to the Berlin Medical Association, doctors vaccinating against Covid-19 are increasingly massively attacked in the corona pandemic and threatened with violence and even murder.
"Attacks on vaccinating health workers are also part of everyday life in more and more medical practices," said the professional association on Thursday.
Chamber President Peter Bobbert spoke of a "new quality of hatred that seems increasingly organized and concerted".
Berlin - False reports on social media were named as a possible source of aggression.
A spokesman for the chamber said on request that there was no documentation with numbers on such incidents in Berlin.
But he reported, for example, of a "violent case" in September in which a practice was closed for several days after anonymous threats.
The investigative authorities have been informed.
Overall, it is observed that the tone is getting rougher, even when it comes to corona rules such as wearing masks.
People increasingly reacted with “aggression and physical abuse”.
