He said adverse reactions occur at a rate of one in 10,000 doses and can cause 'severe disabilities'.
And yet back in August 2021, Lauterbach said on Twitter that the vaccines had "no side effects," further questioning why some Germans refused to get vaccinated.
During an interview on ZDF's Heute Journal on March 12, Lauterbach was asked by anchor Christian Sievers about the claim he made in the summer of 2021, confronting the health minister with his previous tweet that stated the shots are virtually free of side effects.
Lauterbach responded that the tweet was "misguided" and an "exaggeration" he made at the time, noting that it "did not represent my true position".
"I've always been aware of the numbers and they've remained relatively stable... one in 10,000 [are injured]," Lauterbach said.
"Some say that it's a lot, and some say it's not so many." Lauterbach's remark on vaccine adverse events came after the German network played a segment of several Germans who have been seriously injured after getting the shot.
This included a 17-year-old gymnast who previously competed in the German Artistic Gymnastics Championships before she was hospitalised for more than a year shortly after receiving the second dose of the BioNTech covid-19 vaccine.
Lauterbach said: "What's happened to these people is absolutely dismaying, and every single case is one too many. I honestly feel very sorry for these people.
There are severe disabilities, and some of them will be permanent." Steve Kirsch, executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, did not agree with Lauterbach, but he commended the health minister for making "progress" when comparing his latest remark to his previous comments regarding the safety and effectiveness of covid-19 vaccines.
