Please excuse this rant. But I’m really annoyed. I’ve been on the road for the last three weeks. In Italy, my vaccination certificate was scanned at every opportunity. Most of the time they wanted to see my identity card as well. They also checked me in Switzerland, Düsseldorf, and Hamburg. But here in Frankfurt and the surrounding area, almost no one cares whether you’ve been vaccinated, recovered, or tested. Only in two restaurants that opted for 2G were they looking for my certificate. In one rather unwillingly, in the other conscientiously. I can’t remember who last asked for my contact details or at least had a paper form available (apart from my favourite Italian restaurant and my hairdresser) – they all refer to QR codes to the Luca app. No sensible person with an IT background would go along with Luca.
Kids aren’t „supposed“ to wear masks in school anymore. Star football players, former left-wing icons, and philosopher-pop stars talk about long-term consequences and vaccine damage or that they would never vaccinate children (against Covid) because this would destroy their „natural“ immune system or because vaccination is only for their own protection.
That. Is. All. Wrong.
Folks: The incidences are shooting through the roof. Yes, even fully vaccinated people can infect others. That’s no surprise. If more were vaccinated, there would be fewer recipients. And fewer strong spreaders. And wearing a mask, washing your hands and being careful is still the order of the day. That’s not so hard after all.
One bright spot is the German Corona Warn app: My mother and child #1 were informed in the app that because of their age and vaccination date (mother) or vaccine (child) they should get a booster vaccination now.
