A family with children who dress up in white coats in order to be vaccinated as supposed doctors and helpers, fake certificates and outbursts of anger in doctor’s offices: Since the start of the corona vaccinations, the Cologne doctor Jürgen Zastrow has experienced a lot that he had before the crisis would not have thought possible. In the new podcast episode “Talk with K”, Zastrow, who not only has a practice in Niehl, but also experiences the processes in the Cologne vaccination center at close quarters, how he has experienced the situation since December and how he has dealt with vaccination precursors deals with the “cowboy mentality”. “Everyone is allowed to do everything and there is no longer any morality,” he sums up. Morality is indispensable for a society.
The enormous pressure on medical practices will increase with the lifting of the vaccination prioritization from Monday, June 7th. “We don’t make phone calls anymore because the lines are always full. When I pick up the receiver in the practice at 4 p.m. on a Saturday to make a call, someone is already on the line who tells me his story of suffering, ”he explains. More and more “no-show patients” who did not even show up for the vaccination made the work even more difficult.
Politicians raise false hopes with the lifting of the vaccination prioritization, always try to spread positive news, then others would have to implement it. In view of the shortage of vaccines, it is about time that politicians honestly declared who could not get a vaccination at first. “We can’t catch up with what we missed ordering vaccines last summer.”
