Unvaccinated Germans mostly vote for AfD

In a conversation with the newspapers of the Funke media group on Thursday, the German Government's Eastern Commissioner, Marco Wanderwitz, linked the comparatively low vaccination rates in eastern Germany with higher support for the AfD.

    “There is a clear connection between approving the AfD and rejecting vaccinations. It cannot be ignored,” said the CDU politician, alluding to AfD stronghold Saxony.

    Wanderwitz compared the “aggressive” stance of the vast majority of AfD officials against vaccination and all Corona measures with that of former US President Donald Trump. But Trump was responsible for the mass vaccine roll-out “Operation Warp Speed” and boasts about it now. Also, Democrats who had vowed never the get the “Trump” jab on social media, have suddenly morphed into vaccine fanatics.

    The Eastern Commissioner is therefore assuming “that we will see a Corona wave in Eastern Germany in autumn due to the Delta variant that will once again push the health system to its limits”.

    The Eastern Commissioner had previously said that there was “something wrong with the AfD voters”. During the presentation of the report on the status of German unity in July, Wanderwitz said that nothing justified the protest vote of a “right-wing extremist” party like the AfD, because it endangered democracy in Germany.

    1. Here in the USA, liberals claim to be motivated by “science.” However their “science” is 100% political.

      Liberals claim that only vax resisters are political. This is a lie. Vax resisters are not political. Vax resisters just want to be left alone in peace. Vax resisters know that most Republican politicians support vax mandates, and that Trump himself was a vaxxer.

      Meanwhile Covid rules do not apply to liberals. At BLM riots, “gay pride” marches, Obama’s birthday bash, Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s fiesta and so on, people do not wear masks.

      Since Covid rules do not apply to liberals, vax mandates don’t apply either.
