compulsory vaccination regime is utterly unworkable, according to organisations who would be put in charge of enforcing it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite forced vaccination still being very much on the cards politically in Germany, a number of companies which would be forced to take responsibility for its enforcement have claimed that the current plans put in place by the government are utterly unworkable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Under the proposed measures, insurance companies in the Federal Republic would be made responsible for enforcing the regime, and would be told to send letters to all of their customers checking whether or not they are vaccinated so fines could be sent to all of the unjabbed.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bild.de\/bild-plus\/politik\/inland\/politik-inland\/impfpflicht-vor-dem-aus-chefs-der-krankenkassen-sperren-sich-79510484.bild.html\">report<\/a> by\u00a0<em>Bild<\/em>, the country\u2019s proposed plans are \u201cimpossible\u201d for the insurance industry to implement on multiple levels.<\/p>\n<p>First, the companies claim that they simply do not have the ability to send the more than 60 million letters the German government will require them to within the time period set out by the plan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Europe is currently facing a serious paper shortage, which would drive up the cost of such a measure beyond feasibility, while EU tendering laws would force companies to advertise requests for external printing orders all across Europe in a process that would take months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe implementation of the entire process is impossible with the in-house and on-board funds of the health insurance companies,\u201d the commercial organisations said.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if these companies were able to send all of the required letters within a reasonable time frame, other issues would remain that would make the plan completely unfeasible.<\/p>\n<p>All of the insurers involved expect that they would face a blowback of complaints and inquiries after sending out the letters.<\/p>\n<p>This would in turn overwhelm their call centres and force them to take on more staff to deal with the deluge, something they reportedly cannot afford.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Then there is also the issue of verifying whether or not a person is vaccinated, with only digital COVID certificates being relatively easily verifiable as real, making the process even more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>There would also be issues regarding those who do not respond to letters sent requesting proof of vaccination.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Under the current plans, these people would be assumed to be unvaccinated and sent fines, but the insurance companies emphasised that some vaccinated individuals may simply not receive a letter \u2014 due to a change in their address \u2014 or may be in a position where they are not able to respond due to some complication, leading to further headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the insurance companies raise the issue of consumer trust.<\/p>\n<p>Under the proposed rules, the organisations would be forced to pass on the information of their unvaccinated customers to authorities so they could administer fines, something the insurance industry\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welt.de\/politik\/deutschland\/article237667359\/Akuter-Papiermangel-Krankenkassen-halten-Corona-Impfpflicht-fuer-nicht-umsetzbar.html\">fears<\/a> could \u201cseverely burden the important relationship of trust between insured persons and health insurance companies\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"

saying that the pandemic could be ended by a vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n<p>However, some of his colleagues do not think the same way, with the German parliament\u2019s vice president,\u00a0Wolfgang Kubicki, warning that the proposal should be pulled so as to not risk a colossal public relations disaster for the three-party coalition government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about time that Janosch
