“We need universal vaccination coverage to prepare for the fall and winter,” government spokesman Wolfgang Büchner said. He added that Scholz had the support of all 16 of Germany’s state leaders on this issue.
On Wednesday, Austria confirmed that it was suspending the plan. Austria was the only other country in Europe that had gone down the path of a general vaccine mandate for all adults.
Austria’s government said the law would be “put on hold” due to the fact that the milder symptoms associated with the dominant Omicron variant no longer justified such an intrusion into personal rights.
In both Germany and Austria, the plans to take choice away from the individual on Covid vaccines has proved highly contentious with opponents organising sizeable demonstrations against the proposed measures.
There had been speculation for several weeks that Austria would postpone its compulsory vaccine programme.
In Germany, two bills for vaccine mandates are set to be voted on by the Bundestag a the beginning of April.
A bill brought forward by the SPD’s deputy faction leader Dirk Wiese proposes a vaccine mandate for all adults in Germany. Another brought by the FDP’s Andrew Ullmann proposes a mandate for everyone aged 50 and over.
Currently, some three quarters of the Germany population have been vaccinated twice against Covid-19 while 57 percent of the population have also received a booster jab.

Im sure my comment will be silenced. But I’ll have a punt anyways.
Austria canceled their mandate after the pfizer paper release. The papers the FDA and pfizer wanted locked away for over 50 years.
These papers showed the vaccine to be completely safe with only 158,000 adverse reactions . And only 1223 deaths and only 9400 unknown outcomes.
But they have redacted how many doses were safely administered. So we don’t know percentages. And it’s only for like. 3 months as the remainder of the time still haven’t been released.
The risk vs reward factor has changed. Not just a little, its completely changed.
I would love to know how many politicians have shares in the phama industries because to still be pushing for this. Its bordering on either incompetence or criminality. Or both.
So they are ignoring the latest news about the damage and deaths that were hidden by pfizer. Information is now coming out a out damage to the natural immune system and how successful the Ivermectin studies have been. I suggest people watch John Campbells (UK) videos. He cant be absolutely blunt about what he really thinks as YT would ban him and still Germany pushing the so called vaccine.
The medical experts who tried to warn the public were silenced but now they are speaking up and being listened to. Still havent seen campaigns promoting vitamin D3 here.
