Thaiger Posted December 16, 2021 #124642 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Police in Germany have foiled a plot by so-called “anti-vaxxers” to kill the premier of the eastern state of Saxony. The state currently has one of the lowest vaccination rates in Germany and some of the highest Covid-19 infection rates. Protest action has been growing in the country in opposition to mandatory vaccination, which becomes law in March for staff working in hospitals, care homes, and other healthcare environments. German police say they uncovered the plot to murder Saxony politician Michael Kretschmer on the messaging platform Telegram. According to a Reuters report, messages from members of a group known as […] The story German authorities uncover plot by “anti-vaxxers” to murder state politician as seen on Thaiger News.

Easterneye Posted December 16, 2021 #124654 Share Posted December 16, 2021 There are 5 million anti vaxxers in the uk and as long as 5 million in one country alone are not vaccinated then new variants will be allowed to form and multiply forever . Its a choice they have been allowed to make , however imo to balance things they should NOT be allowed nhs hospital treatment when they do become seriously ill , but allowed to die gracefully as they have wished for , thus freeing up beds for those who have complied . 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/9193-news-forum-german-authorities-uncover-plot-by-%E2%80%9Canti-vaxxers%E2%80%9D-to-murder-state-politician/#findComment-124654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being vaccinated doesnt stop you from contracting the virus , it just makes the symptoms less severe . Vaccinated people can still contract the virus and also be the cause of a mutation and if unvaccinated people shouldn't get NHS treatment , then neither should those who got sick from their vaccination, because their injuries were self inflicted 8 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/9193-news-forum-german-authorities-uncover-plot-by-%E2%80%9Canti-vaxxers%E2%80%9D-to-murder-state-politician/#findComment-124675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 wrong things in that sentence alone, complete rubbish. Quote Its a choice they have been allowed to make , however imo to balance things they should NOT be allowed nhs hospital treatment when they do become seriously ill , but allowed to die gracefully as they have wished for , thus freeing up beds for those who have complied . Vaccinated or not, people pay taxes in the UK, which fund the NHS. End of story. (to stay polite, not easy with a statement like yours here). Also since you are vaccinated, like myself by the way, therefore you are protected, right? And since you can still catch and transmit it but are protected from dying, why do you care about people not vaccinated by choice? Why so much hate? 11 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/9193-news-forum-german-authorities-uncover-plot-by-%E2%80%9Canti-vaxxers%E2%80%9D-to-murder-state-politician/#findComment-124787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew the risk, nevertheless they went to mcdonald, kfc etc... everyday.

Smithydog Posted December 16, 2021 #124797 Share Posted December 16, 2021 To me this is not about the Covid-19 debate nor vaccinations vs no vaccination. If the evidence is proven, then lock them up. If they have done this, then they are extremists and don't represent the reasonable people objecting to mandates and probably only hurt the cause they say they support. They have no place in this debate no matter what side they support. Too many of the wrong people use justifications like "I was pushed into it" as excuses for satisfying their need for violence. Resorting to violence, in my opinion, has an uncanny knack of turning supporters away from the cause you support and gives the opposing side in the debate just ammunition to point to. 4 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/9193-news-forum-german-authorities-uncover-plot-by-%E2%80%9Canti-vaxxers%E2%80%9D-to-murder-state-politician/#findComment-124797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You admit that there is some efficacy in being vaxxed, but you would deny treatment to people who have done their bit to try to protect themselves. To compound this, they were following gov advice, and you want to punish them for this? I despair of the thinking processes of some anti-vaxxers.

Why should we follow all the rules and fight in the trenches to fight this pandemic if spitefull people step over the Fallen that followed the rules. I've made the following point many a time, and I have yet to see anyone undermine it: We have non-smoking areas because of the known risk of passive smoking. Passive smoking leading to death is cumulative and takes 20+ years to kill. A few minutes contact with a CV infected person can lead to death with days. Given that, why should those who wilfully choose not to get vaxxed, be allowed to socialise with those who are doing their best to protect themselves?

Elected governments have a mandate to legislate. If people refuse to vaccinate after given a reasonable timeline to do so, IMO, they should expect to have limitation on freedom of movement imposed; the unvaccinated do not have a 'right' to potentially infect others. Personally I would be very angry if I contracted Covid from an anti vaxxer and had to go into isolation.
