Berlin – The Berlin Senate is planning to expand the corona protective measures. This is about the so-called 2G rule, which already applies in clubs and is now to be introduced in other areas of the private sector – in addition to the option of opting for the 3G rule. However, if a bar or cinema votes for 2G, a corona test would no longer be enough to get into it. Even hairdressers who opt for 2G will then only be able to serve those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered. That would exclude some people from public life.
Every freedom has its price. It cannot be obtained effortlessly!
And calls the minority of the voluntarily or willingly unvaccinated on the scene. They see themselves being deprived of their freedom of movement, development, entertainment, etc., and thus of their basic rights. Indeed, the freedom of the individual is unconditional with regard to his or her dignity. However, it is subject to conditions: It ends where the freedom of the other begins. In short, we all want our freedoms, want our normalcy back, but some want this completely effortlessly or effortlessly, and that means at the expense of the others. But every freedom has its price.
Incidentally, this is a general political principle in democracy and thus also the real political issue in the debate about the lockdown and other protective measures. On the one hand, this means something more abstract: our freedom is not leisure time fun. And on the other hand, something more concrete: Those who consciously and willingly place themselves outside the community should bear the consequences – and stay outside. That too is freedom. When I, as a vaccinated person, wear the mask in the subway or in the restaurant, then among other things to protect those unwilling to be vaccinated: I share your recklessness.
You free riders, finally stop complaining: At best it is a kindergarten illusion that our freedom is only there for you. Grow up!
