German Health Minister: "No one will be vaccinated against their will; the vaccine mandate will simply lead people, ultimately, to accept voluntary vaccination."

Meanwhile, four weeks into the Omicron wave, deaths and hospitalisations continue to fall.

Karl Lauterbach, German Health Minister, explained a few days ago that vaccine mandates are actually all about freedom:

I believe that doctors should vaccinate anyone who wants to be vaccinated because of the mandates, or anyone who wants to be vaccinated because they freely choose it. No one will be vaccinated against their will; the vaccine mandate will simply lead people, ultimately, to accept voluntary vaccination.

„Es wird ja niemand gegen seinen Willen geimpft. Selbst die Impfpflicht führt ja dazu, daß man sich zum Schluss freiwillig impfen lässt.“ Der deutsche Gesundheitsminister

We are four weeks into our Omicron wave here in Germany. In this country of 83 million people, a grand total of 631 people are in the hospital with confirmed Omicron infection. Thirty-five of them are in the ICU, and 27 have died (p. 28, Table 5). This is why we have to abolish bodily autonomy.

Just a short post today. Tomorrow, more reader reports on what convinced you containment was a sham.
