"Small group terrorizes the rest of society"
Virologists agree: if you don't get vaccinated, sooner or later you will be infected with the coronavirus. There is also a growing need for a vaccination, at least in some areas, to be seriously discussed. Almost 60% of the people in Austria would be in favor of compulsory vaccination in health and care professions. But only there: 70 percent are against a general vaccination requirement. What do we do with the noisy minority who do not want to be vaccinated? Prof. Ursula Köller from the Bioethics Commission in the Federal Chancellery and Prof. Ulrich Körtner from the Institute for Ethics and Law in Medicine at the University of Vienna will discuss this with Damita Pressl this week at “Moment Mal”.
In the vast majority of cases, the vaccination protects against severe Covid-19 courses, against hospitalization, against the intensive care unit or death. Vaccinated people can still get infected with Corona or pass the virus on, even if the probability of this is significantly lower than with unvaccinated people. So it is not a matter of so-called “sterile immunity”, explains Ursula Köller. "That would mean that I cannot get the infection as a vaccinated person". What is certain, however, is that the viral load in vaccinated people is significantly lower.
Are a "land of the vaccine muffle"
So the vaccination works. But why then stagnate vaccination numbers? “It also depends on the general attitude towards vaccinations in a country. Unfortunately, Austria is a country that is not vaccinated ”, said Köller. We only have child vaccinations as long as they are included in the mother-child pass. And they are so important: "Vaccinations are the greatest public health measure that has ever existed," says the doctor. Our high life expectancy is mainly due to the fact that there are no longer deaths from infectious diseases in childhood.
Vaccination compulsory privately or by the state?
So whether a mandatory vaccination would help? “We have far too little secured data,” complains Ulrich Körtner, like many other experts. “But we have evidence. In France, President Macron has announced compulsory vaccination for health professionals. You saw that when this announcement came, the number of vaccinations among health professionals rose significantly in the days that followed. ”In addition, there are already certain obligations:“ Politicians shun the word 'mandatory vaccination' like the devil shuns holy water, but in the private law area we definitely have that ”. Big employers like Google now require their employees to be vaccinated. Airlines and hotels also have the option of only making their offers available to vaccinated people. "We have long had employers' vaccination obligations. At the moment we are only discussing possible government regulations. But we ignore the fact that we otherwise leave that to the private sector, ”says Körtner. "The question is therefore: should politics be content with the fact that vaccination obligations only exist in the private sector, or are there reasons for a state-prescribed vaccination requirement?"
For the two experts, there are at least some areas: the bioethics committee, for example, requires mandatory vaccination in the health sector, from the state. “If the carriers do that, then the staff could switch to another carrier, which is why a general compulsory vaccination in the area would be important,” says Köller. The non-implementation of a compulsory vaccination, said Köller, also leads to a "hostage" for residents in the care area: "How do old people get to spend their last years in detention just because the staff does not get vaccinated?" Who does not want to be vaccinated in such professions, "he missed his job", says Körtner, "as hard as that sounds".
But is a world emerging now where unvaccinated people are only allowed to shop and use public transport? "If we are a little unlucky, the very group drives us back into a lockdown, where all of Austria is only allowed to use public transport and the supermarket," says Köller.
And Körtner adds: “Small groups terrorize the rest of society. Then, as a vaccinated person, I will end up being restricted in my basic rights again because a hard-boiled minority has no sense of community. ”He demands more courage from politicians: to“ move the subject to the private law level ”is cowardly. “You can't ask, 'Why am I being forced to get a driver's license? I just want to drive a car like that. ‘” So the state also sets conditions in other areas for access to certain areas of society.
