In this context, he strongly criticized a doctor from Hallein, who is said to have prescribed a deworming agent for a patient and who is said to have died.
Huss mentioned three ways to take action against such doctors. If patients are harmed, criminal law can come into play. Furthermore, there are disciplinary possibilities of the medical association, which extend to a prohibition of the practice of the profession. And finally, the ÖGK could withdraw the health insurance contract. There could be no contracts for such doctors, emphasized the ÖGK chairman. He has “little understanding” when doctors speak out against the vaccination. Vaccination is the only way to get out of the pandemic.
Specifically to the doctor from Tennengau, Huss announced that they would proceed “quickly and with full force”. One will not watch when patients are endangered. Now the first thing to do is to secure evidence that will then be handed over to the public prosecutor’s office. And if the suspicion were to be confirmed, the health insurance contract would also be gone.
ÖGK general director Bernhard Wurzer strongly criticized the protests of the vaccination opponents. The 5,000 employees of the ÖGK health facilities and all other health care workers did not deserve to be threatened if they were frightened and demonstrations were being held in front of the houses. The employees could be proud of their achievements, emphasized Wurzer.
A uniform approach in the pandemic would have been better
The ÖGK leadership also regretted that the politicians had not accepted the offer of the health insurance company to handle the corona vaccinations through their facilities. In the pandemic, a uniform approach would have been better than nine different vaccination strategies, said Huss. Only Carinthia had recourse to the structures of the ÖGK and that worked extremely well. And Vienna made use of the outpatient clinics.
Huss also gently criticized the fact that the ÖGK proposal for an adult vaccination program has not yet been implemented. The Federal Target Control Commission has already passed a resolution for this, but the financing is still open. Huss pointed out that with the e-vaccination pass, the social insurance companies had created the appropriate instrument for this.
