To avoid a tough winter and stem a rise in Covid cases, the outgoing German Chancellor is keen to activate the country’s ‘3G’ rule, which would introduce vaccine passports for most indoor public venues, in an attempt to entice members of the public to receive the jab. 33% of the German population currently remain unvaccinated, with the Health Minister Jens Spahn commenting that the nation is suffering from a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”. The Times has the story.
The chancellor has argued that similar steps should be adopted across the country in an effort to boost the stubbornly low level of vaccination and slow the spread of Covid.
Concern is growing about the prospect of another punishing winter. The number of infections recorded each day has doubled since mid-October and is higher now than it was at this point in 2020. Hospitals in many parts of Germany have warned they could soon be overwhelmed.
The situation is not yet desperate: vaccination has so far kept the number of deaths reported each day relatively low. The closely watched seven-day incidence rate has actually fallen a little over the past week, to 147 new cases per 100,000 people.
Today, however, Jens Spahn, the Health Minister, warned that Germany was going through a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” as the disease propagates rapidly through the 33% of the population that has yet to be jabbed. Merkel is said to have been “particularly shaken” by the case of a nursing home in Werbellinsee, near Berlin, where 14 residents died. Half of the staff had not been vaccinated.
The chancellor favours tightening the country’s ‘3G’ rule, under which people must prove they are vaccinated, recovered or tested (geimpft, genesen or getestet) in order to enter most indoor public venues.
Yesterday, Saxony imposed a stricter ‘2G’ system, meaning only the vaccinated and the recently recovered can go into spaces such as restaurants or football stadiums. Merkel’s spokesman said this was a “logical” way forward.
In Baden-Württemberg, meanwhile, unvaccinated people will instead have to obtain a negative PCR test result — at considerable expense — for these recreational activities. They will also only be allowed to meet five other unvaccinated people from outside their household at the same time.

Let’s put all this in perspective. And it couldn’t be done better than this, Tucker Carlson interviewing (46 minutes) Dr Peter McCullough: https://www.bitchute.com/video/YHJ5XURJrhUY/
Portugal just remembered they want tourist money and have now U turned and will welcome Brits from 17th May
Thanks for the link. Excellent interview, everyone should be ‘mandated’ to see and listen to this , rather than take a vaccine.
‘Something big and dark is going on around the world’, I think he said this 6 times.
NB I hadn’t realised Queensland had made taking HCQ illegal in April 2020! I knew UK and France Govts seperately had taken all the stocks available in their countries by Feb 2020 but I don’t think either had actually made its use illegal until some months afterwards.
Anyone knowing the timelines of many aspects of this, cannot but see the planning involved.
McCullough mentions fear being the motive, but he also makes it clear through the way he uses his language that he no longer believes that is true.
We are watching pure evil at work.

wow they really did ban cures to push the vax.
Indeed, he was careful not to go full conspiracy but he knows it’s there, because I’m in correspondence with him, through Doctors4CovidEthics (the group of which I, part who has written several open letters to the EMA, warning of blood clots, before they paused the AZ vaccine (because of blood clots).
It’s a superb interview, as much for Dr McCullough’s evidence as for Carlson getting animated.
Clown world. They spent all week arguing on where to host the European Cup final only to move it to somewhere you won’t be able to visit until the 30th May? What was the point of that…?
Not safe for Brazillian Electricians either…
Are they lesbo mafia Cressida?
Amazing how you kept your job after THAT fiasco.
well, if Portugal wont have us, at least we can still stay safe on a holiday in Israel – a covid safe war zone
That is the trouble with turning on the fear spigot – it is hard to turn it off.
Aren’t the footie fans being ‘bubbled’ into Porto? Or is that the other final in Gdansk (where UK travellers are definitely not permitted to go)? In any case, that would work. I expect the locals will be getting themselves bent out of shape over it all, though; as well as the locals here about people ‘bringing covid back into the country’.
Apart from anything else, governments’ reactions to this bloody thing has set international relations back centuries. Chinese, Brazilians, Indians … who are we supposed to ‘hate’ next?
This gives me a sliver of hope. Our Government says we can go, their Government says we can’t. Our Government wants vaccine passports, Spain’s tourism minister says they don’t need passports or even a test. France and Germany have a lot of vaccine hesitancy, so that’s good for us. May the confusion continue I say, so that none of it works, ever!
Welcome to sunny Portugal, where faces are banned.
I’ll stay here.
