It's a six-line story which will have dramatic legal entanglements and probably force an opinion (positive or negative) out of most Germans.
The CDU Party head of the German Federal Health Ministry (Jens Spahn)....wants to put into place a mandatory measles vaccination rule....for all German kids attending public schools and Kitas (kindergarten operations).
Friction? Well, yeah.....there are various political elements (even with in the Green Party) which are anti-vaccination.
To get this passed, Spahn would need the support of the SPD Party (part of the coalition) and some folks within that party don't want this to be so....blunt.
A national health crisis? No, not really. But the fact that some schools have shut down for a week or two in the past six months, as measles passed via a community.....has some people asking questions.
If this mandated process occurred? The rule by Spahn would go into effect in March 2020....meaning all these kids who are unvaccinated would have to take the shot or be denied entry into the schools.
The odds of a legal challenge in court? Virtually guaranteed, I think.
