My first post got removed because I used AI to create a summary in English. Well here’s a probably worse summary in my own words:

The canton of St. Gallen has a new proposal for health laws spanning 50 pages. The most controversial one is article 18 which allows the canton to force certain people to vaccinate. As an example these could be healthcare workers or risk groups.

The punishment for not following this law is a fine up to 20000 Fr.

Against this are obviously SVP and FDP
but also SP and the Greens criticize the proposal especially the large fine.
Dario Sulzer from SP says „Every vaccination needs the approval of the affected person.“
Dario Sulzer from the Greens says that Switzerland did well so far because we focused on voluntarism.

  1. You need a driving license to be a bus conductor, because it protects the users.

    Why can’t you enforce the same measure for healthcare workers, especially if they are in close contact with weak patients?

  2. You don’t even need to use your own words bro, what do you think people did before they started asking AI for literally anything and everything? Just slap the article contents in any of the many perfectly fine online translation tools available and ta-da…

  3. I can‘t figure out how to edit the post right now but there’s a mistake. The quote from the greens is from Daniel Bosshard

    Good, if you don’t believe in science don’t work in healthcare. I wouldn’t want anyone treating me medically that doesn’t believe in what they’re doing including vaccines. Why should you be able to endanger patients because of your tinfoil views.

    So… Not letting people who work in healthcare put their patients at risk is bad because…?

    Incredibly based of St. Gallen. Vaccinations are incredibly important. Also very normal already and nothing new. For example for people working on building/maintenancing railways had to get a lot of different vaccinations.
