New bill for compulsory vaccination from the age of 18 - also for pregnant women
The German government is planning to introduce compulsory vaccination from the age of 18, and with it further deep encroachments on the rights of citizens. Pregnant women are not excluded.
In a 49-page motion, more than 150 members of the German Bundestag demand that every citizen over the age of 18 who has lived in Germany for at least six months must be vaccinated against COVID. Anyone who refuses to do so could face fines of up to 2,500 euros. However, the bill, which is to be debated in the Bundestag on March 17, does not provide for "mandatory detention" of refusers. However, changes to the text are still possible until then. The regulation is initially limited until December 31, 2023, "in order to limit the burdens associated with compulsory vaccination."
The draft "Law on Education, Counseling and Vaccination of All Adults against SARS-CoV-2" (SARSCovImpfG) states that COVID-19 is one of the most contagious communicable diseases. People are considered fully vaccinated if they have received two vaccinations plus a booster. The rationale for the compulsion, which is scheduled to take effect Oct. 1, 2022, is that current vaccination rates are insufficient "to contain the expected very rapid and sharp increase in disease incidence."
An estimated 6.5 million to 10 million adults remain unvaccinated to date, according to the printed document. In addition, the aim is to avoid overburdening the healthcare system. This is despite the fact that this danger has never existed, but that around 9,000 intensive care beds have been cut in German hospitals over the past two years.
In order to achieve the "protection of public health and vulnerable groups" and a return to the predictability of public and private life, the introduction of the law is intended to help "sustainably increase basic immunity in the population." To this end, the first step is to expand the vaccination campaign one more time. For the first time, all adults will be personally contacted and informed by their health insurers about counseling and vaccination options. Building on this, mandatory vaccination is envisaged.
These measures are intended to "reach all members of society." This means that adults who have had their habitual residence in the Federal Republic of Germany for at least six months will be required to have proof of vaccination or convalescence from October 1, 2022, and to present it to the competent authority upon request. Irrespective of this, these persons are required to present this proof upon request of their health insurance fund or their insurer with whom they have private health insurance, or their medical care provider, as of October 1.
Changes possible at any time without Bundesrat approval
The law also authorizes the government to make changes at any time. Without the consent of the Bundesrat, it may re-regulate vaccination, convalescence or testing requirements "provided that such deviating requirements are advantageous to the persons concerned in each case." Thus, among other things, the government may change intervals between individual vaccinations. The number and possible combinations of individual vaccinations may be changed, and new vaccines may be introduced. The duration of the convalescent status may also be changed.
Minors and people who "cannot be immunized with one of the approved (…) vaccines" are exempt from mandatory vaccination. Even for pregnant women, vaccinations are provided after the first trimester of pregnancy. At the same time it is said:
Depending on the state of medical science, vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is to be carefully recommended in certain circumstances according to medical judgment."
Once again, if passed, the bill would restrict the Basic Law by undermining Article 2 (right to physical integrity). In order to give the government extensive leverage, it also interferes with the Social Security Code because health insurance companies would be allowed to store the vaccination status of their insureds in patient records in the future. This would open the door to the introduction of a central vaccination register.
