Against forgetting
"I have the suspicion that all terrorisms, whether the German RAF, the Italian Brigate Rosse, the French, Irish, Spanish or Arabs, have little in common in their contempt for humanity. They are surpassed by certain forms of state terrorism. [...] Let's leave it at that. But I really mean what I say."
"If you look very closely, you can see that political journalists actually belong more to the political class and less to journalism."
"Of course the Greens know love of country! We know and despise it."
"I'm also reading this as I speak, I had to write it out, I really only read this study this morning, and I can't say that I've fully grasped all the details [...] so I always have my reservations about such modeling, because, as I said earlier, rough assumptions are always made. [...] But I think we now need to start this thought process among experts in science to also think of unusual options if we believe in these modeling figures. And I do believe in these figures. [...] And the outlook is really desperate. The bottom line of this study is really bad, and we now need to sit down and talk about the possibilities. [...] And at the end of the day, the message of this whole study is that we need something else, we have to do something. [...] We need to find a vaccine or some kind of medication that could be given to older people."
"Not since German reunification, no, not since the Second World War, has there been a challenge to our country that depends so much on us acting together in solidarity. [...] I know how difficult what is being asked of us is. We want to be close to each other, especially in times of need. We know affection as physical closeness or touch. But at the moment, unfortunately, the opposite is true. [...] I appeal to you: stick to the rules that apply for the time being. As a government, we will constantly reassess what can be corrected, but also what may still be necessary. [...] I therefore ask you not to believe any rumors, but only the official announcements, which we always have translated into many languages."
"No orgy of opening discussions"
"We will probably have to forgive each other a lot in a few months."
"To be honest: 80% of our success was the horror pictures from Italy. They are being forgotten. That's why we need a good strategy now."
"To all these cranks and coronavirus critics: there will be no more normality like before."
"I would like to take this opportunity to expressly ask for social disadvantages for all those who voluntarily forego vaccination. May the entire republic point the finger at them."
"Why don't you put on that stupid mask and stay two meters away from me? No one will take away your rights. Nobody. So, the institutions are all there and work in principle, but they're being cornered by a group of antisocial idiots."
"Why do the police actually have firearms? Such gatherings in the middle of the pandemic?"
"Demos of this kind endanger our democracy. I now call these people ricocheters. They should really take a look at what they falsely call the mainstream media, for example what is happening in Brazil. President Bolsonaro is denying the pandemic and the number of infected people is skyrocketing. And here these people are walking without distance and masks, endangering the police and each other. It's all crazy. Any kind of denial of reality gets on my nerves, to put it bluntly."
"Everyday life must be more unpleasant for the unvaccinated."
"The unvaccinated do not have the freedom to take off their masks. They are not allowed into stadiums, swimming pools or supermarkets without a mask. And unvaccinated people and those with only a single vaccination should no longer be allowed to go on vacation."
"I don't see any division. People are adding themselves to a camp by not getting vaccinated and they can get vaccinated."
"If [...] we are then faced with the choice of whether a vaccinated or a non-vaccinated person receives the treatment, then I would say that the vaccination status should be included in the consideration."
"If everyone has been offered a vaccination, it cannot be ruled out that those who have been vaccinated will be able to do more things than those who have not been vaccinated despite having the opportunity."
"No opponent of vaccination will be treated like an enemy of the state. They are just, hopefully soon, no longer allowed to go out among the people because they are a dangerous social pest."
"We are experiencing a pandemic of the unvaccinated."
"I would also like to honestly say that at some point there may be a greater distinction between the rights."
"And it's also about why a minority of society doesn't want a vaccination with no side effects, even though it's free and can save their lives and the lives of many others."
"Then it's also terrible that we live in a country where there are not only people who want to be educated, but also a sufficient number of people who are crazy."
"Now only attrition tactics will help."
"The most beautiful 2G audience in the world is here, ladies and gentlemen."
"Society has to sort it out for itself [...] If you're not vaccinated, then I don't want you playing with my children either."
"What is clear, however, is that most unvaccinated people today will either have been vaccinated, recovered or unfortunately died by then, because the incidence of infection with severe courses mainly affects those who refuse to be vaccinated."
"What you have to do now is to gradually ensure that you manage to protect fundamental rights as much as possible, but still introduce enough measures. And you have to escalate them step by step, so to speak."
"We are currently experiencing a tyranny of the unvaccinated, who rule over two thirds of the vaccinated."
"I don't think anyone who hasn't been vaccinated can actually go out among people [...] Anyone who hasn't been vaccinated is a carrier and a threat."
"The 2G rule should generally apply when crossing the EU's internal borders."
"We really mustn't give those who don't get vaccinated the chance to avoid the vaccination, for example by getting tested."
"We've tried the carrot, now it's time for the stick."
"Exclude opponents of vaccination! Society has long been divided, the time for consideration is over."
"This also includes, for example, the possibility of imposing contact restrictions if necessary in the regime that has now been rearmed by law. So there is a very large arsenal of weapons, and it is now a matter of not only showing it, but also using it where necessary."
"Would the division of society really be such a bad thing? It wouldn't break apart in the middle, but quite far to the bottom right. And such an appendix is not strictly speaking essential for the survival of the whole complex."
"First of all, we need to send a clear message to the unvaccinated: You are now out of social life."
"I don't let unvaccinated people in at Christmas."
"The population will be vaccinated and then this pandemic will be over."
"So unvaccinated people should not celebrate at all according to our ordinance."
"Immediate compulsory vaccination [...] You could make pension payments, pension payments or even access to the workplace dependent on the presentation of proof of vaccination by January 15 at the latest [...] There would then be hardly any vaccination refusers.
"The majority of the population has long understood that the radicalized opponents of vaccination are enemies of the constitution who reject the democratic state and are no longer receptive to rational arguments."
"The tactic of lateral thinkers is to fight for the street bit by bit. The police must take action and use pepper spray and batons when in doubt. We must not give them a millimeter."
However, if so-called walkers do not comply with the requirements, the state is called upon [...] I am prepared to increase the pressure on anti-vaccination campaigners."
"I think you have to consistently exclude these people because it's pretty reckless not to get vaccinated."
"I have no sympathy for people who don't want to be vaccinated."
"Individual physical integrity is a vulgar notion of freedom."
"What rats were to the plague, children are currently to Covid19: host animals!"
"I have no sympathy for that. It's clear to me that I no longer want to work with someone who hasn't been vaccinated."
"[...] no matter what my German voters think."
"Our weapons help to save lives"
"Twitter can only remain relevant if these very rats - to stay in the marketplace image - are beaten back into their holes."
