Vaccinated people have a clear advantage in Germany. For them, the corona measures will be relaxed from next week. Only in some federal states, but the government wants to change that quickly and introduce a nationwide regulation. Only less than eight percent of Germans are fully vaccinated.
The offer of the Schloss-Apotheke in Koblenz (D) sounds all the more tempting. Biontech globules. The vaccine in «potentised form up to D30 as globules» explains a pharmacy employee to «T-Online». The vaccines from Moderna and AstraZenea are also on offer.
Homeopathy against Corona! Sounds too good to be true. Taken a few white balls and you are already armed against Corona? For the spokeswoman for the Paul Ehrlich Institute, which is responsible for vaccines in Germany, this is all nonsense: “Neither positive nor negative effects are to be expected from the combination of sugar with ‘nothing’.”
Leftover vaccine was used
When asked, the pharmacy explains that the globules should only help to better tolerate the corona vaccinations. How exactly, however, is not explained.
The white spheres were made with the help of leftover vaccines. In other words, residual amounts that would otherwise have been thrown in the trash after opening the vaccination doses.
Specifically, according to the State Office for Social Affairs, Youth and Care, vaccine residues should come from the vaccination center in Koblenz and from an old people’s home. The fact is: “There is no evidence or suspicion that this is a Covid-19 vaccine that can still be administered,” said the state office.
Corona globules have been removed from the range
After criticism became loud, the pharmacy rowed back. The corona globules have been removed from the range. A statement on this was published on the company’s own website. It says: “The product we offer is expressly not a substitute for a vaccination and does not provide any vaccine-like protection.” It was a misunderstanding. The homeopathic remedies were never intended as a substitute for vaccinations, but were only intended to help with the tolerance of the corona vaccinations. Not more.
Nevertheless, the pharmacy is now on the safe side: “In order to dispel any doubts, we are currently contacting all customers again to guarantee the correct application for better tolerance of a vaccination that has already taken place.” The German authorities are now reviewing the case. It is checked whether the pharmacy has violated pharmaceutical regulations with its globules. (jmh)
