AfD vaccination tirade from the stands - Lauterbach is horrified: "It is my fault that others die"

With a tirade against 2G, 3G and corona vaccinations, an AfD politician caused unrest in the Bundestag.

His numbers are in need of interpretation.

Karl Lauterbach expresses himself clearly.

Berlin - In a turbulent debate, the Bundestag passed the traffic light's new infection protection law on Thursday.

In addition to the legal arsenal of the amendment's arsenal of measures and an unusual intervention by Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), there was also a moderate scandal from the audience: an AfD member of parliament raised serious allegations - and thus brought the SPD experts, among others Karl Lauterbach violently.

Corona dispute in the Bundestag: AfD politician reprimands 2G policy and warns of vaccinations

After the speech by FDP parliamentary deputy Michael Theurer, the Bavarian AfD politician Martin Sichert took the floor - from the stands. Those MPs who do not provide information about their vaccination status and do not want to submit a test are accommodated in the seats above the plenum. Theurer had accused the right-wing populists of “not even complying with the mask requirement in the Bundestag”, but also reported that he himself had a daughter “in the intensive care unit” since July.

Sichert went straight on the offensive: "The fact that I, as a Member of Parliament, have to speak from the balcony here shows how much your policy divides the country," he railed at the address of the other parliamentary groups.

"2G and 3G do not serve the protection of health, 2G and 3G serve to educate the citizens with massive pressure to be willing subjects", claimed Sichert.

For example, the CDU member Sepp Müller had been vaccinated three times and was infected with Corona.

At the same time, every day there are "six deaths as a result of the vaccination and 13 fully vaccinated corona deaths," said Sichert, citing figures from the Paul Ehrlich Institute.

Vaccination dispute in the Bundestag: CDU politician feels "instrumentalized" after AfD speech - Lauterbach expresses himself clearly

Sepp Müller, addressed by Sichert, responded directly to an interim question - and accused Sichert of “instrumentalizing” him. "How you put down figures here in a self-confidence that are completely unfounded!" He shouted. “My first vaccination was with Johnson & Johnson, my booster vaccination was on October 20th. this year, ”he explained. On October 30, the MP made his infection public. He tested himself because "my nose was running," said Müller: "Thank God I was vaccinated: I just ran my nose!" A good friend, on the other hand, as a former marathon runner, rarely comes after a corona infection out of bed. The CDU politician appealed to the people in the country to get vaccinated.

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach meanwhile sharply criticized Sichert's speech in a tweet.

The AfD politician spoke from the stands because he did not want to be tested: "From there he rushes against the vaccination, it is more dangerous than Covid.

And you have to listen to that in the Bundestag. "Lauterbach's conclusion:" People like him are partly to blame that others die. "

Dead after corona vaccination?

That’s the part of the AfD allegations

In its last safety report, the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) reported 0.2 reports of serious reactions per 1,000 corona vaccine doses for the period up to and including September 30 - that is, for 0.02 percent of the cases. "In 1,802 suspected cases reported about a fatal outcome at different time intervals from the vaccination," the report also says - Sichert is likely to be referring to this number. The database consists of almost 108 million recorded vaccinations in Germany.

However, the “time interval” is not synonymous with a causal relationship.

In the previous August report, the PEI

identified

vaccination as a possible or probable

death in 48 deaths

.

At that time, 1,254 deaths were known some time after the corona vaccinations.

AfD scandal in the Bundestag: sober speech from the parliamentary group puts the SPD under pressure

In the course of the debate, however, the AfD had also put forward a sober objection and thus apparently brought the SPD into explanatory difficulties.

The MP Norbert Kleinwächter complained that 3G in buses and trains posed unsolvable problems for many people in rural areas.

Kleinwächter complained that if there is no test option in one place, you cannot even get on a bus on Monday morning to be tested or to go to work.

The SPD's legal policy spokesman, Johannes Fechner, answered rather evasively at the lectern: The federal states are required - further test offers would come.
