Late Night Talk Show Chatter

 Last night...on a late-night talk-show via ZDF (Channel Two)....there was a interesting but 'forbidden' topic to come up.

So the moderator got one of the SPD political folks (who is a doctor) to chat over migrants or non-Germans....getting the Covid-19 vaccinations.

The 'sell'?  Well...it's suggested that more enthusiasm needs to occur among the migrants of Germany.

Then they turned to the Green Party mayor of Tübingen, Boris Palmer, asking him to respond, and he said basically....any comment that he'd make...would be a target for people to accuse him of racism......so he didn't say much of anything.

You kinda have to laugh about the topic and how it has to be handled.

So if you did ask ZDF or ARD....or any news source......just how many non-Germans have been vaccinated, they'd tell you no such data exists.  No one tracks the vaccination business in such a way.

If you look around social media.....a fair number of Turks are volunteering the information that they haven't been vaccinated and aren't interested.

Why did the moderator want to drag this topic up?  Unknown.  Maybe he's just poking around and hoping Palmer is stupid enough to chat over this, and get slugged for racism comments.

The odds that in 2022....two-thirds of all non-Germans in the country have not been vaccinated?  The potential is there and you have to wonder how this will be handled by the government.  But just to drag up the topic.....you are probably on the edge of being a racist.
