This doesn’t make sense. What about antibodies? What about the fact that vaccinated still catch and spread the virus? None of this adds up and it’s likely it all goes back to Wikileaks.

What about antibodies? How will Pfizer get paid with your antibodies? You sound ridiculous.

I’m confused. I thought vaccinated people can spread the virus. Why are they not locked down too?

Because the risk of transmission is understood to be significantly lower, and since unvaccinated people are more likely to cause the virus to mutate it's in the governments best interest to get people vaccinated, a way of accomplishing this could be making life inconvenient for the uncompliant.

As a double vaccinated German, I am very disappointed and angry about this move.

Our politicians have failed to prepare the country for the Winter (who could have known...). We lack a basic strategy how to cope with Covid.

And now they try to fix this by dividing the country in two. This will have no effect whatsoever on the infections, it will just continue to drive a divide that is already existing and will make anti-vaxxers even more convinced that this is a big conspiracy.

The current thinking is that new variants are most likely to evolve in immunocompromised patients who experience prolonged infections. While I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, the vaccines aren't very effective in people with malfunctioning immune systems.

Total fucking NAZIS!

In Austria they are arresting and throwing into prison people who refuse to get the vax.

In Australia they have concentration camps for people who are testing positive.

Anyone cheering this on is on the WRONG FUCKING SIDE OF HISTORY. You all will perish and if it is war you want - WAR IS COMING!

NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS!

NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS!

NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS!

NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS! NAZIS!

Actually the vaccines themselves are causing the variants.

The more you know! :)
