The Bundestag, Germany’s federal parliament, has rejected a vaccine mandate for people over the age of 60, with the left-liberal coalition government’s proposal losing by over 80 votes.
The vote is the first significant defeat for the leftist coalition government since it took power in Germany last year and both Health Minister Lauterbach and Chancellor Olaf Scholz, both of the Social Democratic Party, backed the idea of mandatory vaccinations.
In December of last year, Scholz stated that he supported mandatory vaccinations not just for those over the age of 60 but for all residents of Germany. He stated“What we need is a legislative procedure in which every member of parliament votes according to his conscience on a general vaccination obligation,” Chancellor Scholz said.
“Now it has the opportunity to imitate the Germans with something reasonable and necessary, namely the rejection of a compulsory vaccination regime that tramples on fundamental rights and freedoms and lacks any scientific evidence,” he added. Around 600,000 Italians over the age of 50 are set to receive a fine for being unvaccinated despite the Italian government reviewing a loosening of various Wuhan virus restrictions.
