Two days ago.....ARD news (Channel One, public TV in Germany) did an update over Covid, and statistical numbers about vaccinations.
What can be said....is that there simply isn't a precise number being openly discussed by RKI (Robert Koch Institute), who is THE AUTHORITY in Germany over vaccinations.
Best official guess? Two weeks ago, RKI noted that the new number was 80-percent of Germans fully-vaccinated (meaning both shots) and another four-percent in the funnel (one shot so far).
Why the 'mystery'? Billing practices by doctors, and some folks being very particular about private data. Are there Germans who've not admitted the vaccination? The suggestion is there but I don't see the reality of this idea.
How long can this mystery on numbers exist? That's the thing about it.....most logical Germans can't see an unknown number existing. You should just press a button, and get a reliable number.
Folks who ran off to Turkey, Serbia or Russia....who got vaccinated with the 'good' stuff (noted by German authorities) or getting vaccinated with 3rd world vaccines (the not-so-good stuff)? I don't think RKI wants to mix these numbers. But I seriously doubt that you have more than 50,000 Germans who did the out-of-country thing for the Covid vaccine.
What this whole discussion is reminding me of? This diesel engine numbers fiasco with VW.
Does it present a problem with the new government? Well....if the virus numbers get worse on hospitalization or infection....how does this relate with vaccinated people? You have to stand on a baseline, and say X and Y.....give you some type of end-result. Presently, X is the unknown.

Is it true that Hesse province just allowed even grocery stores to ban non. Vaccinated people ? Just read it on rt.com and i could not believed it…
This madness needs to stop right now
All the Hessen state government did....was say you could use 3G/2G rules in grocery stores or regular stores (clothing shops or electronic media for example). Don't think any other state has gotten to this idea. Once it came out....whole bunch of shops denied they were interested in this and it just made people stand up and ask who exactly was pushing the idea in the first place.
So I'll just say 'true' on this but literally no one is moving to this level. You can observe that the bulk of state residents are within a 30 min drive of another state and could easily cross the state border to shop in a 'friendly-state'...so that angle plays into this as well.
