Those who decline to acquire a COVID-19 vaccine should be "automatically regarded" to have waived their entitlement to COVID-19 treatment in a public hospital, according to the CEO of a major medical equipment manufacturer.

According to Stefan Dräger, CEO of Dräger, a prominent German medical producer, anyone who refuse to acquire a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine should not be allowed to receive publicly financed hospital care for the condition. Dräger is regarded as one of the world's leading ventilator manufacturers.

"Anyone who declines immunization must forego hospital care," he added, according to a German-to-English translation of other German media quoting Welt. "If he declines, it is instantly regarded a patient decree that if he contracts the virus, he will not be treated in a hospital at the expense of the general public," Dräger said in the interview, which was released Thursday.

His justification for such a strategy, which will almost certainly be panned, is that it "avoids overburdening hospitals and workers," he continued.

"What disturbs me about obligatory vaccination is that the state then makes the decision for the people and absolves them of their responsibilities," the German CEO added.

"A big, quiet majority in our nation," Dräger added, "is today suffering from an unrepentant minority." "I also mean this in a medical sense," says the author, "since other diseases or surgeries must be postponed."

In the wake of declining case numbers, a number of European nations have pushed to repeal various COVID-19 provisions, including vaccination passports. Germany and Austria, on the other hand, have chosen to impose greater limitations.

The German government is allegedly contemplating requiring everyone over the age of 18 to get vaccinated.

"I'm certain today that without forced vaccination, we won't be able to bring the vaccination rates up to the level needed to get us out of the epidemic," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who succeeded longstanding former Chancellor Angela Merkel, told news outlets in January.

A similar bill was passed by the Austrian parliament and signed into law by the country's president earlier this month. Individuals who fail to comply might face hefty fines of thousands of euros multiple times a year.

A top German court on Friday dismissed a legal attempt to halt the implementation of a CCP virus requirement for health-care workers, which was set to take effect in March. The German government applauded the action.

Scholz has stated that making vaccinations mandatory is required since he and health experts predict COVID-19 infections will increase in the fall and winter of 2022. He restated his position during an address to Parliament on Friday.

The chancellor said, "Because the coming autumn and winter will see an increase in illnesses, the universal vaccination requirement also makes sense."
