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.

Germany loves a tyrant don’t they.
Obviously no one has told Merkel the jabs don’t work.
Re ‘the case of a nursing home in Werbellinsee, near Berlin, where 14 residents died. Half of the staff had not been vaccinated’; do Merkel and Spahn really think the care home staff were untested? How naive can they get!! This is now down to political vindictiveness towards people who defy govt edict and rightly insist of making their own medical decisions.
Has she demanded the creation of special places to keep all the un-jabbed concentrated together yet?
I know …… they could call them Concentration Camps ….. to make it sound like the un-jabbed are having a holiday in the woods.
We defeated naziism in WW2 to stop this “show mw your papers” discrimination, didn’t we?
These elites are now terrified. Their deceptions no longer work. People worldwide are awake and peacefully rising up. We have had enough. Elites will inevitably be tried for Crimes Against Humanity at Nuremberg 2. Their attempt to exclude so-called‘unvaccinated’ from society, on spurious ‘control of contagion’ grounds, is a pre-genocide indicator.

Here’s an idea: why doesn’t she build a long wall, how about..erm..I dunno.. through the middle of Berlin or somewhere like that, and all the people who really want to acquiesce to living semi-human existences, subject to censorship, police brutality, 24/7 surveillance with their rights to do anything governed by temporary state granted freedom passes based upon their “status”, and unending state mandated medical experiments can go and live on the other side of it.
And all the rest can live this side.
They test for the flu since they’ve never isolated Covid-19. Which makes me wonder how they can tell there is a delta variant. They never isolated the virus but they use a test to show the damage of a solution does on monkey kidney cells then show the cellular debris as proof of the virus. So, they can use this method to claim an UNENDING! amount of variants. A lot of cancers and “viruses” are probably just different forms of parasites. Since the tests can’t differentiate between cold and flu and covid then doesn’t that mean ivermectin cures both the cold and the flu? Welcome to “they’ve been lying to us our entire lives about everything”. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://health.p0l.org
She’s even started to look like Hitler too
It’s the angry how very dare you eyes and you vill obey expression
That is one heffer that needs putting out to graze.
Why waste grass? Superannuated cows go to make cheap steak pies. Recycling, don’tyerknow.
Would you wanna consume that?!

sums it up
Evidently irony doesn’t translate in German.
For 75 years they have worked so hard to remove the stigma of what happened from 1933-1945. And here they propose creating second class citizens without ever blinking. Come to think of it, since she opened the borders in 2015 to makeup for that time period, what will some future Chancellor need t do to make up for this.0
I’ve just had a business email from a colleague in Germany. “every day new rules and measures from our government”. The quiet desperation is heart-breaking. This will soon come to the UK. I will not be vaccinated under any circumstances. My local MP is extremely keen on “Trans” rights and all things environmental. He appears unconcerned with trivial matters of personal liberty, bodily autonomy, freedom of choice …………
Hitler would protest against this thuggery in the name of the German people.
A madwoman
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.
I suspect the patients who died had all been ‘vaccinated’
The staff who were not ‘vaccinated’ presumably lived
Is it me?
Once again Luke’s intro fails the journalism test and takes the side of propaganda. “To avoid a tough winterand stem a rise in Covid cases…” No. That’s what she claims to be her motivation.
We know vaccine passports do neither of those things.
Merkel does not deserve a place in a nursing home, her place is on the garbage heap of history.
I’d prefer her to be placed below that garbage heap.
The logical way forward for a caretaker government set to be replaced by a democratically elected one would be to abstain from sweeping policy changes. Mrs Merkel is just an interim chancellor by now. Whether or not this actually means she’ll ever vactate this chair remains to be seen, though.
Her left/green successors are even more zealous Covidians.
And the FDP is completely spine- and useless.
Personally, I expect coalition talks to break down because it won’t be possible to get the Greens and the FDP (who already walked out of a similar attempt after the last election) to agree and the so-called grand coaltion continuing due to this being the path of least resistance. But it’s still appropriate to mention that this person is now technically a has-been.
I’m afraid that’s true – and the March 20th “freedom day” was just a distraction/appeasement maneuver, like they’ve had so many before (particularly with regard to masks – somebody pretending to raise the topic of abolishing mask mandates only to be heavily crushed with “objections from the people” the next day).
Yes an EU version of Putin
It always ends with camps
1) Article from almost exactly a year ago: Armed forces arrive at Pontins holiday park ahead of Liverpool mass coronavirus testing.
2) Let’s not forget Schedule 28 of the supposedly hastily produced but 342 page long Coronavirus Act enacted last March: “A designated local authority may give a direction requiring a person to do anything calculated to facilitate the transportation, storage or disposal of dead bodies or other human remains in the local authority’s area or from its area.”
That is called an “enabling” law. Hand over that fleet of vans or sports ground.
3) A famous sports ground in Chile.
Move them all into a ghetto for the unvaccinated. Make them wear a badge to show their filthy unvaxxed status. Then what to do with them?
The final solution to the unvaccinated problem?

Large-scale COVID-19 vaccinations are currently underway in many countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we report, besides generation of neutralizing antibodies, consistent alterations in hemoglobin A1c, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation profiles, and renal functions in healthy volunteers after vaccination with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Similar changes had also been reported in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that vaccination mimicked an infection. Single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before and 28 days after the first inoculation also revealed consistent alterations in gene expression of many different immune cell types. Reduction of CD8+ T cells and increase in classic monocyte contents were exemplary. Moreover, scRNA-seq revealed increased NF-κB signaling and reduced type I interferon responses, which were confirmed by biological assays and also had been reported to occur after SARS-CoV-2 infection with aggravating symptoms. Altogether, our study recommends additional caution when vaccinating people with pre-existing clinical conditions, including diabetes, electrolyte imbalances, renal dysfunction, and coagulation disorders.
Jabbing often gives the jabbed a diabetic blood profile!
Two words for you, Angela: Nuremberg Code.
Correction: Nuremberg Trials.
Guess she has the same puppet master banking dynasty as her predecessor had 80 years ago?
because segregation and demonisation of a government determined set of people worked so well in Germany s past. Why not repeat the strategy
They are good at it and love to do it.
But it’s not that other people can claim a moral highground in that regard anymore.
Least of all Brits and Americans.
Their capitulation, collaboration and execution of the abolishment of freedom is the biggest surprise and biggest disappointment here.
In contrast, the German ones were to be fully expected, and they are indeed the most despicable ones in light of their history.
The rest of the cowed people aren’t worth mentioning, least of all French and Italians.
Exempting the freedom fighters in those countries from my verdict in particular, as they have it the toughest, much tougher than Brits or Americans, first and foremost the critical doctors and scientists, as their professions have become the most crucial and corrupted.
A sizable part of the activity of the Merkel-government is Der Kampf gegen rechts, the fight against a supposedly hostile, evil and worthless population on behalf of the so-called allied powers or what’s still left standing of them. That’s the mindset among the politically and socially powerful German babyboomers and they’ve really driven this to absurd lengths, eg, recently initiating criminal justice proceedings against a disabled, 96 year old lady who was secretary in some KZ when she was 18 for being a mass murder accomplice.
You should really put this particular bit of fame where it belongs to. That’s not the Germans all natually being nazis but the successfully re-educated and thoroughly Americanized elite doing what it’s supposed to: Implement US policies in a dependent state.
Exactly, grouping all the anti-covid-measure protesters in the same category as nazis was a very early propaganda measure that German government has undertaken.
They were all hit with the “Nazikeule” (nazi club) – and the gullible majority of Germans who have been conditioned like Pavlov dogs into an allergic reaction to anything “right-wing” or “nazi” immediately fell for this narrative.
The prosecution of this 96 year old shows that the supply of defendants for these World War 2 Nazi show trials is obviously running dry but I suspect that medical science will come to the rescue, once again, through cryogenically suspending future defendants who will then be defrosted at regular intervals to allow their prosecution ad infinitum.

Sorry I posted a link, but decided it was a bit gross!
Heres something different, never heard of this chap before yesterday Dr. Shankara Chetty | How Longterm C-19 Vaxx Fatalities will Play Out posted this yesterday Dr Shankara Chetty | “8th Day Protocol”
Any idea when his first video was made? It’s much more strongly-worded than the 2nd one, i.e. on his drug protocol. He starts to sound like Mike Yeadon. However, I still don’t see how it helps pharmaceutical companies. They profit from having lots of chronically ill patients who become ill in their 20s or 30s and struggle on to the age of 80, popping pills every day.
Only found out he existed yesterday! But there’s plenty of youtube’s of him.
To be honest, still don’t buy the depopulation narrative, they’d have to knock off 100s of millions to make a difference, even the most brainwashed ovine would notice, they would have their heads on pikes when the cattle class woke up to it. I don’t see how they’d ever get away with it.
Still think it’s about economic reconstruction to a zero carbon digital economy & geopolitical positioning. The only way to force people into accepting that is with a controlled demolition of the carbon based economy. One thing neoliberals hate is chaos & anarchy!
Oh go on… …post it and be damned!

Those guys are always a good and fun read. Maybe it can be run through xyz translate.
This is a scathing putdown of the recent critical statements by Lafontaine, Wagenknecht, Precht, Kubicki, Kimmich&co.
They think that those people are just fake opposition.
A purist and real opponent must oppose any adminisrration of the gene therapies, any testing and any mask wearing.
It’s beginning to look a lot like genocide
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten
Myocarditis once again
The chronic kind that kills you really slow
It’s beginning to look a lot like genocide
Clots in every vein
But the ugliest sight to see
Is the Palsy that will be
Freezing cheeks again.
It didn’t take long to forget “never forget”
Exactly what I keep thinking! Every May hypocritically stating “never forget”. Sneeze a few times and it’s “forget what?”
Her inner East German is obvious.
