Karl Lauterbach warns of a "catastrophic" fourth corona wave

The intensive care units will soon be full, and intensive care physicians and nurses are sounding the alarm. Sandra Maischberger is looking for solutions.

Berlin – The chairman of the World Medical Association Frank Ulrich Montgomery spoke of a “tyranny of the unvaccinated” on Sunday on Anne Will’s talk show. Referring to this statement, the cabaret artist Jürgen Becker explained yesterday to “Sandra Maischberger. Die Woche “in the ARD the vaccination opponents: inside to the” losers of the week “and called for mandatory vaccination for everyone.

Helene Bubrowski from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung saw it similarly, even if she saw the cabaret artists shine through when Becker came to a head. She does not believe in a general vaccination requirement, but vaccinations for employees of nursing homes or vaccination centers should become mandatory. Otherwise it is not compatible with the professional ethos. In the discussion group, the “Maischberger. Die Woche ”(ARD) introduced, there were few differences that evening and the Spiegel journalist Melanie Amann also agreed with the previous speaker on the question of vaccinations, but raised the question of how such an obligation should be implemented. Coercive measures were quickly discarded, while financial penalties were seen as an effective means of getting people to rethink.

Maischberger (ARD): Karl Lauterbach explains the corona vaccination

Apparently, Volker Wissing, General Secretary of the FDP, had also rethought when, in view of the rapidly filling intensive care units, he quickly deleted his tweet with the claim that the health system was stable. This made him the “loser of the week” for Bubrowski, and she attested that he had “a lack of political sensitivity”.

Wissing’s party colleague Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus got the opportunity in the subsequent round of talks with Maischberger and Karl Lauterbach from the SPD to outline the FDP’s corona policy in more detail. In this conversation, however, one had all too often the feeling that her positions lacked comprehensible arguments, for example when she said that 3G regulations would offer the same level of security as the 2G model.

Quite different to Lauterbach, who patiently explained the differences in the reliability of 3G models with PCR and antigen tests and also refuted the claim that vaccinations ultimately only serve personal safety. Just because vaccination does not provide “perfect protection” from infection, one cannot draw the wrong reverse conclusion that the spread of viruses is not significantly less likely, as various studies have shown.

Karl Lauterbach warns of the fourth corona wave in the ARD talk “Maischberger”

The SPD politician warned urgently about the fourth wave, which would be “catastrophic”, but made it clear that he did not share Christian Drosten’s forecast of a hundred thousand deaths because people would be more cautious in the event of more severe infections if the illnesses increased in their personal environment . What was striking was the caution with which the representatives of the parties in coalition negotiations put forward their different positions.

During the negotiations, the working group on health policy agreed on common positions and “atmospherically there is no problem at all,” said Lauterbach. While watching, Maischberger’s specific inquiries, which brought out the differences between the guests and their leaders, that Lauterbach, in contrast to Aschenberg-Dugnus, was a doctor, were left with the feeling that there could still be many debates in a possible coalition.

ARD-Talk: Maischberger speaks with Swetlana Tichanowskaja

At the end of the program, Maischberger spoke to the Belarusian opposition politician Swetlana Tichanowskaja about the situation in her home country and the situation on the border with Poland and Lithuania. Tichanovskaya repeatedly replied to the moderator’s emotional questions about her husband and children in prison by referring to the many Belarusians who had suffered similar fates. Instead of reducing the conversation to a personal fate, it was possible to talk about the general situation in the country, where resistance is only possible underground because the demonstrations were broken up with great violence.

Unfortunately, due to the poor translation in the program, not all of Tichanowskaja’s statements could be clearly understood, but her appeals to the European Union not to be intimidated by Alexander Lukashenko’s threats and to treat the refugees he instrumentalized with humanitarian values were clear. This is how the entire program, which showed little dissent among the guests but nonetheless contained many urgent demands, could best be summed up in Tichanowskaja’s words: “Now is the time for serious solutions”.
