Acting German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced new restrictions for unvaccinated citizens on Thursday. Moving forward, Germans without the jab will be barred from enjoying various activities throughout the federal republic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccess to leisure, sports and cultural activities will be limited Germany-wide to those who are vaccinated or have recovered (from COVID-19), irrelevant of the incidence rate,\u201d Merkel stated. \u201cAdditional testing, the so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berlin.de\/en\/news\/coronavirus\/7074463-6098215-senate-agrees-expansion-2g.en.html\">2G Plus<\/a> rule, could be applied in some instances. 2G rules will be extended to the retail sector, with the exception of shops selling everyday needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Merkel justified the measure due to a fourth wave of positive cases throughout her country despite having an almost 70 percent national vaccination rate. However. the fatality rate of COVID-19 has failed to be persuasive enough to reach Merkel\u2019s threshold of a 75 percent vaccination rate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chancellor Angela Merkel said she is in favor of a vaccine mandate in Germany \u2013 given the COVID-19 vaccination gap and the healthcare system on the verge of being overwhelmed. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4cfVQ1BzTR\">pic.twitter.com\/4cfVQ1BzTR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DW Politics (@dw_politics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dw_politics\/status\/1466439417061679112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>By creating two classes of people, the German government believes it can increase the attractiveness of receiving a vaccine. Merkel\u2019s likely successor, Olaf Scholz, fully supports the measure while alleging the government has given its citizens more than enough time to comply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese access restrictions are now acceptable because everyone has the ability to change his situation by getting vaccinated,\u201d Scholz stated. \u201cThere are enough vaccines available and everyone could have done it a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Germans have not been forced to get vaccinated yet, however, Merkel may be prodding her people to get the jab for Christmas before it becomes mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMandatory vaccinations will be discussed and voted on in the German Parliament, and the government and the states will ask the Ethics Council to work out a recommendation by year\u2019s end,\u201d explained the German Chancellor. \u201cMandatory vaccinations could then, if approved in parliament, become effective around February 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Merkel mentioned that staying up to date on one\u2019s booster shots will be crucial to the state\u2019s definition of \u201cfully vaccinated.\u201d Germany\u2019s measures are similar to those of Austria and New Zealand in trying to get people vaccinated through discriminatory policies rather than the science.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/chinas-pursuit-of-hypersonic-weapons-raises-regional-tensions\/\">China\u2019s Pursuit Of Hypersonic Weapons Raises Regional Tensions<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this Tuesday, March 30, 2021 file photo, German Chancellor Angela Merkel briefs the media after a virtual meeting with federal state governors at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany.
