Lauterbach versus Wagenknecht: Debate "morally charged and heated up"
But also Lauterbach and Wagenknecht: In the talk show "Anne Will" it became clear that the two often disagree.
In the broadcast at the end of October, Lauterbach called for the comprehensive implementation of the 2G rule in almost all areas of life and the booster vaccination of those who had already been vaccinated.
He has no understanding for unvaccinated people, he said at "Anne Will".
Wagenknecht had recently made public that she was not vaccinated.
She then countered Lauterbach on the show that the whole debate was “morally charged and heated”.
Prominent people are repeatedly criticized for not getting vaccinated.
One of the best-known examples is the professional soccer player Joshua Kimmich.
The FC Bayern player had announced that he wanted to wait for long-term studies.
In November, Kimmich contracted the corona virus.
