German officials have given the green light to prohibit the unvaccinated public from attending the Berlin Christmas Market. Those looking to gain access will have to provide proof that they are double-jabbed or have recovered from Covid, with the only exception being children under the age of 12, who have not been offered the vaccination. Although venues can set their own rules, thereby permitting the unvaccinated to enter (albeit with a negative Covid test), a number of Berlin Christmas Markets have already pledged to bar the unvaccinated from the premises. The MailOnline has the story.
Under a strict ‘2G’ model, those over the age of 12 must be double vaccinated or recovered from the virus and would be denied entry even if they have a negative Covid test, reports German newspaper Tagesspiegel.
But organisers of the markets, which return on November 22nd would be able to opt for a less strict ‘3G’ model which would allow unvaccinated people to attend – but only if they show proof of a negative test.
Yet with the more lenient rules, visitors to the Christmas markets in Berlin must wear face masks and social distancing will be enforced.
A number of the German capital’s famous Christmas markets – including the WeihnachtsZauber market at Gendarmenmarkt – have confirmed that only vaccinated people over the age of 12, or those who have recovered from Covid, will be allowed entry, reports the Local.
The only exception to the rules is for children under the age of 12, who are currently unable to get vaccinated. But the youngsters will still have to show a negatives [sic] test, although children under the age of six will not have to provide proof.
The move is the latest example of countries in Europe banning unvaccinated people from public events.
Last week, Austria’s Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced that the country is considering a Covid lockdown which would only restrict those who are not fully jabbed.
Schallenberg announced that if the number of Covid patients in intensive-care units reaches 500, or 25% of the country’s total ICU capacity, entrance into businesses such as restaurants and hotels will be limited to those who are vaccinated or recovered from the virus.
If the number reaches 600, or one-third of total ICU capacity, the Government plans to impose restrictions on unvaccinated people. In this case, they would only be allowed to leave their homes for specific reasons. Currently, the number of Covid patients in ICUs stands at 220.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, the French Government announced it would be extending the requirement for a ‘health pass’ for people to access restaurants, bars, cinemas, museums and tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower.
The pass means that only those who are fully vaccinated, recovered from the virus in the last six months, or a negative test result in the past 48 hours are allowed to visit the public venues or access long-distance transport.
The Government also announced that for those who are unvaccinated, Covid tests will no longer be free and those who have not been jabbed will have to pay for a test each time they want to travel to the venues.

“Yet another nail in the coffin of the zero-Covid policy.”
But Devi Sridhar wrote a book about where everyone went wrong (not early enough and not hard enough presumably)
Par for the course. She’s one of Schwab’s “Young World Leaders”, along with Trudeau and some other not-so-young half-baked tyro despots, and it thus follows that everything she comes out with is so much ordure.
And by all accounts the WHO is working on a treaty to remedy that exact problem so that “next time” they can go in early and hard.
Are these the accounts from anyone credible? I’ve asked to see the receipts on this one before, and the evidence didn’t support the claim.

actually it’s the WHO infographic, EU council only published it

Not surprising. I was waiting for something to be sent to me from China, but the shipment tracking came to a full stop. Further enquiries with the China end informed me that the carrier’s business and warehouse had been locked down by the provincial government, for an initial period of 10 days, or perhaps longer.
or someone is desperately trying to FUBAR global trade.
A welcome re-appearance of ‘FUBAR’; it’s been away for far too long!
Exactly.
I just simply don’t believe any aspect of this story. China has a Covid crisis because the CCP wants or needs a Covid crisis. The Chinese leadership is too smart and too savvy to cause economic damage because of a relatively minor outbreak of a now exceptionally weak and insignificant respiratory virus. They’re playing the same games now as the West has been playing for two years.. Why?
Because they’re not smart and savvy. On average, people are pretty stupid and they are doing stupid stuff all the time. This includes people whose only relevant skill is CCP-internal politics. Xi has boxed himself in with his Zero COVID strategy. He can’t admit that it was a stupid idea which was bound to end in a dismal failure, hence, he has to press on.
It’s not a small point that China does not really have a national health service. If people need medical attention on mass, they have no where to go.
My default position on China with regards to COVID from day one was that if the population required mass medical attention the CCP was going to be found out for the con job it really is.
The hospitals built in a few days, the armies of people in hazmat suits, it’s all smoke and mirrors. They can do that at a relatively small scale. But they can’t deploy that sort of thing across the country. Not even in their wildest dreams.
So any disease that causes a substantial uptick in those requiring medical care will expose a system in which medical treatment is paid out of pocket and only really available for the well to do. And even for them the system would be badly stretched.
It would basically be a catastrophe for the CCP.
Because they are part and parcel of the great reset. What were they promised or paid?
Disney world and the covid scamdemic seem to have an awful lot in common to my mind.
One of them is a place with lots of rules and uniformed people spouting things only children could believe and the other is Disneyland.
My understanding is that the Magic Kingdom is a happy hunting ground for ruthless predators, and that the harm done to their child victims is hushed up.
So, yes, same-same.
Xi has a ‘special relationship’ with Disney.
Well, if you create a virus and not a way of stopping it, you get no Mickey Mouse. What kind of idiots create a bug and do not know how to stop it? The Chinese and Tony Fauci.
The Americans were involved in this bioweapon.
NOT. AGAIN.
The zero-covid policy is one that regards the population like a herd of cattle and the state is like the farmer. In such a society, your body is not yours, it belongs to the state and it can test you, isolate you, vaccinate you at any time it decides. You are quite literally a slave of the state.
And that is what our overlords aspire to for us as well.
Last I checked, these “health” measures are being imposed in provinces and newish cities with a high proportion of Cantonese and Hakka speakers, and mobile migrant workers.
I’d suspect this may be their ruling class reminding uppity vassal groups that all comrades are equal, but Mandarin comrades are more equal than others.
Have they got round to locking down chickens yet?
Zero Covid was always a pipedream. Interesting that those who have practicised it the hardest are experiencing the biggest waves now. What are these authoritarian leaders seeking to prove exactly? That their strategy will work if only it is applied long and hard enough? 40 years to eradicate smallpox and it still emerges from time to time. Personally I blame the reverence accorded to this handful of fringe scientists (aka as THE science”) by a fawning media. For christ sake most of them are not even qualified to comment on these issues.
May as well go to the doc and get a prescription for deja-vu
That’s another downer. Well it would be if I was planning on going to China and Disney land. Fortunately I’m planning neither, so I couldn’t give a F.
Disney closing? Lucky Chinese!
They’re getting ready to release a new virus upon the world, mark my words.

Closing Disney land? 3 hearty cheers for the disease, or rather the reactionto it! ANYTHING that adversely affects the crass Disney franchise can’t be all bad.
What is up with China? Is China willing to let its workforce starve to death, locked up in their homes. What about China’s goal to become the world leader? Surely you cannot achieve that goal when your entire country is locked up. I smell a big rat.
