Since the introduction of 2G, this phenomenon has become more and more common in Switzerland.
Anyone who is infected with the coronavirus in Switzerland and goes through the disease receives a recovered certificate. An SVP local politician from the Zurich region wanted to take advantage of this fact in order to obtain this certificate. In a Facebook post that has since been deleted, she wrote that she had tried “pretty much everything” to get infected with her only slightly ill son – without success. The research collective write about it “Element Investigative” and «look».
“I let myself be coughed up”
20 Minuten has already reported on the phenomenon: In order to bypass a vaccination and get a recovered certificate, unvaccinated people also drink the spit of infected people. This is not only questionable for health reasons. Intentional infection with the coronavirus can, if it is assessed as the malicious spread of a dangerous disease, also be seen as a criminal offense and result in up to five years in prison in Switzerland.
The local politician now resorted to a similar means. She wrote on Facebook that she had “smeared” her son’s saliva “around her nose” and let him drink it from her glass. “I sat with him in his unventilated room, coughed up, watched television next to him and licked his spoon.”
Facebook profile deleted
Five days later, however, she still had no symptoms and the rapid test was also negative, writes the woman, who says she has been vaccinated against the corona virus. “Either I’m immune or my high vitamin D level is to blame for the fact that I just don’t get sick.”
Opposite “Blick” the woman stated that she did not write the article. She is rarely on Facebook. But she did not want to tell the newspaper who wrote the post with her name and profile picture. This writes that the woman’s Facebook profile disappeared a few minutes after the call.
