In Marburg, doctors help patients who have symptoms similar to those of long-Covid patients after vaccination. The demand is great. For the AfD, this is proof of hidden vaccine damage. The clinic is fighting back.
AIn the Bundestag debate on Thursday, lice Weidel not only spoke out against compulsory vaccination, but also claimed that there was a “number chaos in the recording of vaccination side effects”. Weidel spoke of the fact that the signs of a “dramatic underreporting of serious health damage caused by the new mRNA vaccines” were increasing. As evidence, the AfD parliamentary group leader cited a special outpatient clinic at the University Hospital in Marburg, which deals with such side effects. The ambulance is overflowing, Weidel reported, there are waiting lists with more than 800 people, and the clinic receives several hundred emails a day. Many right-wing media outlets recently picked up on these reports.
The director of the Hessian clinic, Professor Bernhard Schieffer, is amazed that his work has suddenly become a political issue in the Bundestag and that the AfD is using it for its purposes. Schieffer told the FAZ about Weidel’s performance: “I don’t want to be used as an instrument. And I don’t want political capital to be made from the suffering of these patients and my work as a doctor.” He expressly resists this: “There is no alternative to vaccination against Corona.”
