- Kennedy claimed on X on Saturday that over 1,000 doctors and thousands of patients faced prosecution and penalties over mask or COVID-19 vaccine exemptions.
- In a statement Saturday evening, Warken described Kennedy’s claims as baseless and factually incorrect.
- Warken said doctors were never required during the pandemic to offer COVID-19 vaccines; declining for medical, ethical or personal reasons was not criminal.
- Warken said prosecutions occurred only in fraud and document-forgery cases, such as falsified vaccine or mask-exemption certificates.
“Anyone who did not wish to offer vaccines for medical, ethical or personal reasons were not criminally liable and did not have to fear penalties.”— German Health Minister Nina Warken said this in a statement responding to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s allegations.
