Once in a While, The EU Delivers a Punch

 Toward the end of 2020....the EU decided to spend some time working on the basic structure of considerations for Covid and the vaccination business.

27 January 2021.....a document was issued as 'approved' by the EU entitled: "Covid-19 vaccines: Ethical, legal and practical considerations, resolution 2361 (2021)." 

It's a simple document.....which is the shocking part of this discussion....seven pages of text.  You can read it here.  Reading time?  Probably around 16 minutes to read it.  I suspect even a 13-year-old kid could write and understand the text.

Around paragraph 7.3.1......it says: "The Assembly “strongly” calls on the Member States and the European Union to “ensure that citizens are informed that vaccination is not mandatory and that no one is under political, social or other pressure, to be vaccinated if they do not wish to be ”.

In plain words, the EU said it was your right on being vax'ed-up or not.  No one, from your boss, your church, to the government....can make you vax'ed-up or not.  

Germany actually signed-off on this (at least it appears that the Health Minister at the time (Jens Spahn, CDU) did).

All this current chatter in Germany that various professions will be forced to participate?  Well...they might draft up something and attempt to make it a law.  My humble guess is that the EU paragraph will be pulled out and legal challenges made, with the EU court telling Germany to halt this law for a year while they review the 7.3.1 paragraph.  

By the beginning of 2023, I would anticipate the EU court saying the 7.3.1 paragraph could be undone, but it'd require a complete vote by all member states of the EU.  That won't happen (trust me on that).

So this mandate continually talked about on public TV and by the journalists?  Just comical chatter with no ability to achieve results?  More or less.

The anti-EU folks?  Well....they have to be in a state of shock.  For one single occasion.....the EU delivered a knock-down punch against the German government.  Now, the country that could mandate a country-wide vaccination law? The UK, because they are outside of the EU.  Funny how things work.
