There are reports in the German press today that the ruling parties are searching for ways to make discrimination based on your vaccination status illegal [0]. It seems to be already illegal for the government, but not so for private companies. For example, it seems to be perfectly legal at the moment for restaurants or airlines to only allow vaccinated people to enter. The fear of a schism and a further radicalization of vaccine opponents and corona skeptics is great.

And still the majority is pro-vacination. And pro lockdowns. German politicians are way to worried about an extremely loud, and arguably dangerous, minority. That is part of the reason why we missed our opportunity to prevent a third wave right for Christmas by locking down earlier in November. Seems our politicians didn't learn a thing. We should just ignore those Querdenker and anti-vaxxers, enforce sanitary rules on their gatherings and do everything we can to defeat Covid. Otherwise this thing will become a bigger and bigger mess.

  > an extremely loud, and arguably dangerous, minority I fear this minority will grow significantly as soon as only an extremely small minority of vaccinated people is allowed to eat at restaurants, enter an airplane or visit a concert. Please remember that the overwhelming majority of the population currently has no access to vaccination, and won't have access for months to come.

    And until everybody could have had access, the limitations you describe won't be put in place. Afterwards, things are different. But hey, when people refuse you can't help them. masks would be an option so, but anti-vaxxers won't wear those neither. Entirely their problem, if you ask me.
