Doctors Are Posting Nudie Pics To Protest Lack Of Supplies

Doctors in Germany treating coronavirus patients are protesting what they say are shortages of masks, gloves, and visors. They are doing it in the most unusual way. They're posing naked.

Calling their protest Blanke Bedenken, which roughly translates as Bare Concerns, they hope their nudes will draw attention to what they say is a lack of available personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies like disinfectants. They are also encouraging other doctors and health care workers to join in by submitting their own pictures.

Ruben Bernau, one of the doctors taking part in the protest, said that the group was inspired by the French Doctor Alain Colombié, who posted a picture of him sitting in his office naked apart from an armband with the words "cannon fodder" on it. Bernau said, "The nudity should symbolize that we are vulnerable without protection."
