Health Minister Härtter procedure against vaccination opponents provided
Masternote in Germany
Recently, a 37-year-old woman died of measles, who had been vaccinated against the disease only once in her childhood.
Those who do not have their children vaccinated endanger them and their fellow human beings. A vaccination consultation is therefore mandatory in Germany. (stockWERK /fotolia.com) Stronger surveillance
Federal Minister of Health Gröhe now wants to enforce the duty of vaccination consultation with harsher sanctions than before.
In the future, day care centers should inform the health department if parents do not provide proof of vaccination advice.
Measles can be prevented
According to "Bild," Gröhe said that nobody could be left cold if people were still dying of measles. It is a disease that has been eradicated in countries like the United States that are "vaccinated".
"Kitaplatz only for vaccinations"
The chairman of the Federal Association of Children and Adolescents, Fischbach, even pleads for vaccinations to be a prerequisite for a daycare place.
For example, picking measles, the state should not allow.
fine
Parents who refuse to give advice about vaccinations or simply miss them now have to pay fines of up to 2,500 euros.
Kitas are a virus paradise
Consumers of immunization put children at risk: Kitas are a paradise for viruses, bacteria and fungi: they can spread epidemically among unvaccinated children within a short period of time.
Denunciation or epidemic protection?
To denounce people to state authorities has a bad tradition, especially in Germany. Is it in the vaccination, so the epidemic protection, appropriate?
Vaccination opponents as state victims?
Veto-takers often act as martyrs for the freedom of the individual. But they are not: they harm not only themselves but their children and their fellow human beings.
Vaccination and herd immunity
With vaccinations applies: The more a society is vaccinated, the less the respective pathogen can spread. Even the uninoculated are protected by herd immunity. In the case of measles, the herding immunity is 95%.
Protection of infants
Not only immunocompromised, but also infants are unvaccinated. In addition, babies are particularly vulnerable to the pathogens because their immune system has not yet developed.
opposing vaccination
Vaccination opponents cavort especially in classical religious and esoteric scenes: anthroposophists, "German-believing" neo-Nazis and some myths of homeopathy reject vaccinations as well as Taliban in Pakistan.
Religion leads to disease outbreaks
Thus measles waves spread in Germany in anthroposophical Waldorf schools. Calvinism, measles outbreaks and severe rubella embryopathy, with deaths in fetuses, deaf and multiple handicapped babies, were rampant among Calvinists in the so-called "bible belt" in Holland.
conspiracy myths
Vaccination opponents also overlap with the "lunatic fringe", the "crazy edge" of the political spectrum. In conspiracy delusion, they see themselves as the chosen, who see through secret machinations.
Paranoia and projection
The fear of being betrayed at work, at the authorities and in everyday life becomes a projection that always and everywhere applies. Paranoia meets "Germanic medicine" and narrow-minded half-knowledge.
Great picking
In Germany, as a result of missing vaccines, measles infections are on the rise again - that is, waves of disease that has already been defeated in other industrialized countries. The reason is the picking.
Distrust and half knowledge
If someone has not yet made a judgment about vaccinations, doctors do not explain to him how vaccinations work, or, worse yet, health workers are strangling skeptical questions, then he'll probably check with friends and acquaintances or on the Internet. When people have bad experience with doctors and authorities, it increases criticism and those affected become susceptible to the vaccine opponents.
Legitimate skepticism?
Hardly anything in medicine has been so well documented as the effectiveness of vaccines, and the claims of the vaccine infection have long since been refuted. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) writes: "Based on these studies, it is now known (...) that the measles vaccine does not cause autism, that the vaccination against meningitis does not lead to diabetes and that vaccines are not responsible for the worldwide increase in allergic diseases are."
negligence
The danger especially for children in day care centers is less in the ideological Impfgegnern, but in parents who do not vaccinate their children due to negligence. Consequently, it would also be negligent for the state to ignore these implants.
Recommendation instead of obligation
In Germany, there will be no vaccination in the future. Doctors advise the parents but "tendentious", so they recommend, for example, that all children should receive the first measles vaccine until the second year of life. By 2016, that was just 75%.
Vaccination against self-determination
From 1949 to 1975 there was a general vaccination against smallpox in Germany, today there are vaccination obligations only for certain professional groups such as soldiers.
Vaccination not unconstitutional
The Federal Administrative Court ruled that the obligation to vaccinate smallpox was compatible with the Basic Law - and this would logically also apply to other vaccinations.
vaccination recommendation
Germany, Switzerland and Austria have no statutory and general vaccination obligation, but vaccination recommendations.
compulsory vaccination
The Czech Republic, for example, has a compulsory vaccine for measles, Belgium for polio, France for diphtheria, tetanus and polio - Italy also for hepatitis B..
Consulting shows effect
A duty of advice makes more sense than a laissez-fair attitude. Parents are educated by a doctor at least once - even about the dangers they expose their children to by refusing vaccination.
Child protection in Australia
Australian Social Affairs Minister Scott Morrison said in 2015, "If some families decide not to vaccinate their children, then this will not be supported by medical research, nor should this behavior be supported by taxpayers."
Funds deleted
Since 2016, parents who do not have their children vaccinated lose almost 10,000 euros per year and child in Australia. State support for childcare and tax relief is eliminated.
State self-defense against epidemic danger
Previously, vaccination opponents for "conscience" full government support. On the other hand, the number of unvaccinated children under the age of seven rose in ten years from 24,000 to 39,000.
No complete vaccination
The vaccine coverage in Australia is still 90%. Stable herd immunity is 95% for most diseases. (Dr. Utz Anhalt)
