00:00.512 --> 00:09.396
In light of recent events, here is an appeal from Dr.
Ronald Weikl, vice chair of the association “Physicians and

00:09.396 --> 00:15.060
Scientists for Health, Freedom, and Democracy, e.V.” (MWGFD):

00:15.060 --> 00:21.629
“Thanks to a large number of supporters—thanks to you—our
petition calling for the immediate repeal of the Measles

00:21.629 --> 00:26.494
Protection Act, or rather the de facto
mandatory measles vaccination it entails, has reached

00:26.494 --> 00:28.980
the required threshold of 30,000 signatures.”

00:28.980 --> 00:34.620
A total of 38,272 people signed the petition.

00:34.620 --> 00:37.340
Thank you very much again to all the co-signers.

00:37.340 --> 00:44.256
And that is why a hearing is now being held before the
Petitions Committee of the German Bundestag in Berlin.

00:44.256 --> 00:51.408
Together with my esteemed colleague on the working group, Beate
Bahner, I—and we—will have the honor of representing the

00:51.408 --> 00:58.580
entire Measles Protection Act Working Group next Monday,
September 21, starting at 12:00 p.m. at the German Bundestag,

00:58.580 --> 01:03.712
Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus, Room 3101 in Berlin,

01:03.712 --> 01:09.878
We are permitted to present to the members of this committee the
arguments compiled by our working group in favor of

01:09.878 --> 01:15.900
the immediate repeal of the Measles Protection Act
and the mandatory measles vaccination requirement.

01:15.900 --> 01:22.049
I think it's time to put an end to the gauntlet that parents—who,
for understandable reasons, do not want to have their

01:22.049 --> 01:28.580
children vaccinated against measles—or adults who do not want to
be vaccinated themselves, have to endure; that this gauntlet

01:28.580 --> 01:29.940
will finally come to an end.

01:29.940 --> 01:36.359
And that the persecution of doctors who have
supported these people—those seeking help—by issuing

01:36.359 --> 01:39.240
exemption certificates will finally come to an end.

01:39.240 --> 01:45.860
It should actually be a simple matter to finally repeal
the completely unjustified mandatory measles vaccination.

01:45.860 --> 01:52.476
"And to make sure we succeed—this coming Monday,
September 21—in opening the doors to this in the

01:52.476 --> 01:56.500
Bundestag, we could really use your enthusiastic support."
