When it comes to corona decisions, world medical chief Montgomery wants more speed from Stiko.

While the Commission is doing a good job, it needs to act faster.

Munich - The corona situation in Germany is out of control and worsens with every new day.

The number of new infections has reached a new record at more than 65,000.

The Robert Koch Institute gave the 7-day incidence at 336.9 - also a new high.

In view of the delicate situation, RKI boss Lothar Wieler predicted a “terrible Christmas”.

Today

(November 18)

the Bundestag is deliberating on the draft of the traffic light parties to fight the pandemic after the end of the epidemic emergency.

Corona escalation: criticism of the Stiko - "find faster procedure"

The chairman of the World Medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, has now criticized the processes involved in combating the pandemic.

According to him, these take far too long.

In this regard, Montgomery targeted the Standing Committee on Vaccination (Stiko).

The world medical chief called for faster action.

In principle, the Commission is doing a very good job, "but it could have hurried a little more".

Sometimes you have to "get off your scientific horse in order to quickly help the population", according to the head of world doctors on the television channel "phoenix".

They are constantly lagging behind other countries such as Israel, the USA and England and implement the decisions made there with some delay.

According to Montgomery, faster processes are necessary at this point: "Stiko has to think about whether it can find a faster procedure, because the other countries are showing us - and showing us."

Corona criticism of the Stiko - Montgomery warns of "political squabbles"

The fact that people are currently trying to organize the third vaccination and lose time can also be explained by political errors.

World Medical Chief Montgomery also criticized the Federal Minister of Health Spahn, because he had transferred the booster vaccination to the general practitioners without consulting them in advance.

“A lot more coordination would have been necessary here,” said Montgomery.

He hopes that the Bund-Länder-Round will present a logistical concept.

He also warned of political dead ends: "I hope that this doesn't end in political scuffle again, because I'm just tired of the fact that politicians cannot agree on such vital issues."

Corona vaccinations "low-risk and effective" - ​​world medical chief calls for vaccinations

Montgomery announced its support for the planned 2Gplus regulations.

In highly polluted areas, he also saw contact restrictions as an option.

Anyone who does not want to be vaccinated will have to live with the consequences in the future, and this could even lead to job loss.

The world medical chief promoted the vaccination against the corona virus.

She is safe.

"These vaccinations are the lowest-risk, best-effective, harmless vaccinations that we have ever had," the world medical chief was convinced.

A rejection of the vaccination is therefore not rationally understandable.
