As undogmatic Atheist, I have not resolved for me as yet, entirely, whether or not there is a hell or not. Completely safe, however, I am, how you would feel, were it not for you: two weeks of Spring, which I suffered in March 2015.

for several days of high fever, painful cough and complete loss of appetite plagued me – what resulted in turn in complete loss of strength. My first attempt after a week and a half to leave the apartment briefly to the shopping, I had to cancel after three steps, exhausted.

the reason for these two hellish weeks was a measles disease, which I caught. And I was not the only instance in these weeks of Spring, as the statistics show. A total of 2064 people were stuck in Berlin this year, with the disease, it was the largest measles outbreak since introduction of mandatory reporting in 2001.

Four years have passed since then and I have refreshed in the meantime, not only all the relevant vaccinations, but also have a serious talk with my parents about why they let me as a child, not against the disease vaccinated. You have gezögerte so, my mother said, because in their environment again and again in front of the Impfrisiken warned. “With my present Knowledge I would have acted differently.” I believe her.

The problem

I couldn’t believe, as the Greens-protest party in the Bundestag, most recently, against the proposal of the Grand coalition, a vaccination for measles to introduce order. Instead of forced, you have to put more on education and Remind the parents, said the Green MEP Kordula Schulz-ash. First of all, I thought it was a single opinion.

But I was then but of the health policy spokeswoman for the party, Maria Klein-Schmeink, one of the Worse taught: A vaccination compulsory, it will not give with the Green. “Measles are dangerous,” wrote to me the politician. “Both children and adults should be vaccinated”.

however, Because in children the vaccination Coverage is already very high, in adults, in contrast, significantly lower, also holds Klein-Schmeink nothing from the obligation to vaccinate: “Given the low vaccination rates in adults the requirement for a vaccination for children is at the core of the problem is over,” she wrote me.

of all places the Green so that to understand love as the spearhead of a progressive milieu, back to the topic of measles vaccination in the proximity of the conspiracy theoretical Impfgegnern? The only acts on the first glance, like a contradiction. For in truth the Eco-party supported for many years, an audience, not least from Aluhüten.

how do I know? I myself come from this Milieu, and I spent my youth with Demeter vegetables, Tartex spread and the Waldorf school. I remember the classmate, whose Mumps illness with a Globule and gem-forces should be healed. And I remember the teacher who wanted to cure me of my left handedness through eurythmy therapy “” (today, these Experiments would run in the category of “body injury”).

the Green one is reminded, meanwhile, is very accurate, which is the esoteric nonsense parts of their own electorate attachments. The example of Prenzlauer Berg in the Berlin District has not only for years, the worst vaccination rate in the German capital. To Share he is also congruent with the election to the Bundestag circle 83, which, in turn, is the only constituency of Germany in which the Greens were able to win at the last election to the Bundestag with a direct mandate.

A rhetorical balancing act

Small Schmeinks Statement is therefore also a rhetorical balancing act: For the rational parts of the electorate, calls for the vaccination, while for the Simple group, the vaccination compulsory will be rejected. Worse still, with their ambivalence regarding the mandatory vaccination, the party sends out the Signal that – perhaps, possibly and could – but something could be wrong with the Seeding. This is a Signal to all those who, like my parents, actually, to the Aluhüten, and just from your environment, were unsettled.

in a Responsible health policy is not working. The Greens will have to decide whether you want to be a people’s party or parliamentary representation, or a conspiracy theorist. Not both at the same time.

The guarantee of the basic law on free expression applies even for Crazy. But she pushes at boundaries, where they threatened the integrity of others. You know, of course, also in the case of the Green: In the last week of the main urban land Association of the party, brought together with the Hessian of a legislative initiative to ban so-called conversion therapies in the Federal Council. Right – because homophobia may not be a cure, Gays and lesbians, but you can protect them from Homophobic. And the same applies for the opponents. The company will not have to accept a ground set of hocus-pocus-believers, due to them body and life, you must fear.

by the way, after three weeks of harmless. A little Boy, however, had less luck than I had – he, too, fell ill with the measles and died. Maria Klein-Schmeink is wrong, therefore, if you write to me, all who are in favour of a vaccination, would have to first explain how they could be implemented. It is the Greens rather, the need to explain why a vaccination compulsory. And you should start with your Declaration of the family that must mourn until today, her son.
