German politicians were deeply divided Sunday over a warning by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s chief of staff that restrictions for unvaccinated people may be necessary if COVID-19 infection numbers reach new heights in the coming months.
Chief of staff Helge Braun told the newspaper Bild am Sonntag that he doesn’t expect another coronavirus-related lockdown in Germany. But Braun said that unvaccinated people may be barred from entering venues like restaurants, movie theatres or sports stadiums “because the residual risk is too high.”
Braun said getting vaccinated is important to protect against severe disease and because “vaccinated people will definitely have more freedoms than unvaccinated people.” He said such policies would be legal because “the state has the responsibility to protect the health of its citizens.”
His comments fueled a debate in German politics about potential vaccination requirements. The issue has proven divisive, even within Merkel’s own Christian Democrats party. Its candidate to replace Merkel as Germany’s leader, Armin Laschet, said he opposes any formal or informal vaccine requirements for the time being.
“I don’t believe in compulsory vaccinations and I don’t believe we should put indirect pressure on people to get vaccinated,” he told the German broadcaster ZDF on Sunday. “In a free country there are rights to freedom, not just for specific groups.”

Where’s my “Here’s my shocked face” emoji?!
freedom to have diseases which do not exist today.
"Vaccination macht frei", hmm?
They never get tired of that lie. There are many people here who point out that breakthrough cases are more severe due to ADE. The jury is still out on the science of ADE, however it is a fact that breakthrough cases have roughly the same hospitalization and death as unvaccinated cases. The data does not lie even if the CDC doesn't publish it anymore (some states still do).
What anti-vaxxers won't admit is that vaccination reduces the chance of coming down with COVID. We don't know how much, but it does produce antibodies. Too few? Who knows. Too many? Then you might get ADE. It's a tough call and I am 100% against any kind of mandate, and believe people need all the facts, pro and con.

Kinda like a Make-A-Wish thing.
To sum it up, the vaccinated must be protected because the “Jabs” don’t work. Why would the need the unvaccinated to be vaccinated if the shots actually worked?????????
If we were treating this therapeutically, would we even be talking about these “vaccines”, or lockdowns or any of the rest of this? Wouldn’t very low risk of serious illness or death entirely change our perspective?
You sound confident in your conclusions, but so do those who hijacked the last election and now this issue.
Of course ,that’s if you live through the vaccine....Lots did not.....
NWO BS.
Obviously the vax was and is not protection from the virus. Supposedly to reduce the symptoms in most cases. Or cause serious issues in a few cases. Gotta break a few eggs........
I am less convinced than ever for the population as a whole. I acknowledge the known risks and that there might be unknown risks. I also know the ivermectin would probably have cut deaths four-fold compared to no treatment. But there were other treatments so a four-fold decrease overall is unlikely.
I also know there were many premature deaths last year, according to official counts, that were not at all COVID. I know many COVID deaths were untested (just presumed COVID). I know many deaths were premature and COVD had a role. I don't know how that relates to therapeutics but I know the vast majorty of doctors were not stupid or evil.
Enjoy your new Reich, you slimy Nazi krauts.
Scratch a German, find a Nazi.
Dude, that was eloquent... LOL.
Wrong. Everyone will lose freedoms, and rights. Once these "Vaxports" are established and accepted, the concept will be expanded to include just about everything the government ever wanted to control and regulate. Including your lives. We will wonder what happened, that made us all into digital puppets, and it will get worse and worse as time goes on.
Come on Germany send Merkel back to Russia in an Electric Bus
