Proposed German Legislation Envisions Mask Mandates for Those Who Refuse A Fourth Dose in the Fall

The Corona regime, as it decays, becomes nothing but an agglomeration of wholly unjustified rules and a machine for the petty harassment of its own citizens.

Proposed German Legislation Envisions Mask Mandates for Those Who Refuse A Fourth Dose in the Fall

Unvaccinated sheep goats.

Our clown health minister Karl Lauterbach and our useless liberal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann have finally agreed on draft legislation to replace our current Infection Protection Act, which expires in September. As predicted, the compromise is masking and not much else. Specifically, the federal states will receive the option to impose indoor mask mandates, with exceptions for those who can present negative tests, or who have recovered from infection or received vaccination within the past three months. As Julian Reichelt notes, masks will thus become a compulsory (if temporary) label for everyone who refuses dose number four.

My greatest regret about the law, is that it frees the tested and the recovered from mask requirements. I’d prefer that only the vaccinated present bare faces in public, so that they can be subjected to the proper contempt.


I was going to write more about my outrage at this ongoing farce, but I find myself too depressed to do so. Instead, I’ll just draw your attention to a small item of vaccinator comedy (h/t Marcus Klöckner), in the form of this otherwise standard job ad for a postdoctoral historian in Austrian history at Kalgenfurt University in Carinthia. At the end is this little nugget:

The University is aware of its social responsibility in the era of COVID-19. This is demonstrated by the high proportion of fully immunised persons among students and employees. For this reason, continual willingness to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is expected for those entering employment with the University.

A great many academic institutions (and adjacent professions) will now subject themselves to an indefinite festival of annual vaccination with novel mRNA cocktails against a pervasive respiratory virus that is no more dangerous than the flu. This won’t stop SARS-2 and it won’t make university instruction safer; it’ll just kill a few people, make a lot of others sick for no reason, and alienate reasonable employees who don’t like massive bureaucratic organisations rooting around in their personal medical decisions. Great plan. Good luck with that.

Covid-19 and the rules around it have purged all non-conformists out of most aspects of society. Police, government, military, airlines, big corporations, colleges, universities, health care, teaching etc etc.

So now we have nothing but obedient rule followers running our entire society. That never works out well does it? Perfect for the deviants in Davos however.

Your column is terrific. I was thinking the masks might be appropriate after the energy is rationed. It will warm the faces of everyone....
