Andrew Ullmann

Born in Los Angeles, Ullmann spent his childhood there until he moved to Germany with his family in 1972. After graduating from high school in 1981 at the Reichenbach-Gymnasium in Ennepetal, Germany, he attended medical school at Ruhr University Bochum and graduated in 1987.

During his time as a resident at the University Hospital at St. Josef Hospital in Bochum, Ullmann took part in clinical training at the Spellman Center for HIV-Related Disease at the 250-bed St Clare's Hospital, the only ward in New York State devoted to the comprehensive treatment of AIDS at the time.David E.

In 2008, he became assistant professor (Privatdozent) at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany, and was appointed full-professor at the University Hospital of Würzburg, Germany, in 2012.

Ullmann joined the FDP in 2003. He became member of the Bundestag in the 2017 German federal election.{{Cite web|url=https://www.fdpbt.de/fraktion/abgeordnete|title=Abgeordnete|website=Fraktion der Freien Demokraten im Deutschen Bundestag|language=de|access-date=2020-03-16}} In parliament, he was a member of the Health Committee and the Sub-Committee on Global Health.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bundestag.de/en/committees/a14|title=German Bundestag - Health|website=German Bundestag|language=en|access-date=2020-03-16}} From 2018 to 2021, he was his parliamentary group's rapporteur on technology assessment.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, Ullmann joined forces with five other parliamentarians – Gyde Jensen, Konstantin Kuhle, Dieter Janecek, Paula Piechotta and Kordula Schulz-Asche – on a cross-party initiative to support legislation that would have required all those who have not had yet been vaccinated to receive mandatory counseling to boost vaccination rates, in a second step depending on the immunity levels of the population to activate mandatory vaccination for those older than 50 years of age later that year. The proposal ultimately did not receive the support of the Bundestag.Severin Weiland (25 January 2022), [https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/impfpflicht-sechs-abgeordnete-von-fdp-und-gruenen-wollen-impfpflicht-ab-50-jahre-a-63f87866-ae25-4da4-9a89-bb4c2c67be4b Weiterer Gruppenantrag im Bundestag: Mehrere Abgeordnete von FDP und Grünen wollen Impfpflicht ab 50 Jahren] Der Spiegel.Riham Alkousaa (26 January 2022), [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/german-covid-cases-hit-record-parliament-debates-vaccine-mandate-2022-01-26/ German lawmakers debate compulsory COVID shots as infections surge] Reuters.
