6:20pm CET in #Winterthur, Switzerland. 28.3°C outside, 27.5°C inside my flat. Beer o'clock, it is. But not #weekend, really: I have to work from Saturday through to Monday at the #Eurobico event in Frankfurt.

Häufig gehörter Einwand von #Impfskeptiker|n und #Schwurbler|n: Die Impfungen wirken nicht - schaut nur an, wie die vierte Welle anrollt!
Antwort:
1. 90% der neu Angesteckten sind jung und ungeimpft.
2. Trotz steigender Fallzahlen nehmen die Einweisungen in Krankenhäuser und Todesfälle kaum zu.

Fazit: Die Impfungen wirken sehr wohl. Sie sollten aber nicht als Freipass zu Leichtsinn betrachtet werden.
Geimpfte erkranken weniger schwer, und sie sind weniger infektiös. #Covid19

PSA Cheerleaders of the genocidal CCP regime will be muted - without any exceptions.

Even better than saving you from getting seriously ill from #Covid19 (yes, you can still get the critter, but your chance to go to hospital or die will be drastically lower), the #vaccination will save you from wasting money on concerts of the utterly mad weirdo known as #EricClapton.
Speaking of a slippery slope, Slowhand has been picking up speed throughout the #pandemic.

PS: Spouting anti-vaxxer bullshit while being vaccinated makes you what exactly?
#covidiocy

Great to hear that #Taiwan has signed a contract on the delivery of 36 million shots of #Moderna #vaccines against #Covid19.

Not so great to hear that #TzuChi foundation is buying 5 million shots of #PfizerBioNTech's vaccine from the shameless rascals known as Shanghai #FosunPharma who are blatantly politicizing the delivery of vaccines, trying to enforce the acceptance of the failed #OneChina policy through #vaccinediplomacy.

#China needs to be kept out of this.

Small country, big cojones: Massive props and #respect to #Lithuania for not kowtowing to #Beijing and for agreeing to open a Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania. Not «Republic of #China», not «#Taiwan, province of China» and not «Chinese Taipei» - only «Taiwanese» in its name - excellent.

Here's a call to all free and democratic states: Follow the lead of Lithuania and establish formal #diplomatic ties with #Taiwan. Who cares what those CCP bastards yell? https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2021/07/21/2003761201

With only a few days to go for the opening ceremony of #Tokyo2020, it's time to point at an ugly fact where #politics stain the spirit of the #OlympicGames:
Due to the constant pressure of #Beijing, athletes from #Taiwan are only allowed to participate under the laughable «Chinese Taipei» designation.
This is the consequence of the #IOC kowtowing to the #CCP.

To this I say: #LetTaiwanBeTaiwan.
After all most athletes
- are not from Taipei
- identify as #Taiwanese, NOT Chinese

Das neuste Schlagwort der #Schwurbler lautet #Shedding: #Geimpfte sollen angeblich Spike-Proteine ausstossen und so Ungeimpfte anstecken und gefährden - über Hautkontakt oder Aerosole.
Kurzum: Geimpfte sollen inmitten einer #Pandemie nun die Gefährder sein und nicht #Impfverweigerer.
Es ist einfach unsäglich und unverantwortlich, wie faktenresistente Schwurbler alles daran setzen, die Gesellschaft zu spalten. #Covid19 #zurHoelle

#karma alert: #KatieHopkins to be thrown out of #Australia's Big Brother VIP and out of the country for flouting #Covid19 rules and #visa conditions.

So basically this highly toxic #xenophobic figure from the #UK has been a foreigner unwilling to follow rules of the host country - pretty much what she's been ranting about all of her miserable life.
Keep in mind she's also been thrown out of #SouthAfrica for having a fit on what looked like meth.
Stay classy, Katie.

Good news for all who crave #Taiwan-style #food in #Zurich: Simon says is opening today, serving a proper selection of menus from #GuaBao to water spinach, from beef noodles to braised pork belly and scallion pancakes - and yes: popcorn chicken. Pretty sure I'll have to go and give it a try next time I'm in Zurich!

Yes: #JacobZuma needs and deserves to go to #jail. For all of his greed and #corruption, for selling out #SouthAfrica to #China and for belittling the threat of #AIDS. Keep in mind that nobody is above the law.

Zuma should never have become the president of South Africa. It was all too clear that this #kleptocrat was the wrong choice. And yes: the acts of violence that are now being committed by his supporters in unacceptable.

If the leaked report from #Russia is true, it's a proper bomb: #Putin authorized three #secretservice agencies of #Russia to explore ways to interfere with the #elections in 2016 and to push the #Kremlin's candidate aka Agent Orange.

There is a brief psychological assessment of #Trump, who is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex”.

Well-assessed, chapeau.

Mal wieder ein schönes Ding von @artefr : Reportage über das #Demokratie-Labor #Taiwan.

Highly recommended view: #ARTE's documentary on #democracy in Taiwan.

After having seen #hooligans violently enforcing their way into #Wembley stadium with no tickets or #Covid19 certificate and reading about the #racist abuse against various players in socialmedia, #football decided not to come home but to book a trip to Rome instead.

Seriously, what is wrong with the lowest of low-lives in #England?

Heartbreak for #England, it is then. #Euro2021

Covid19-Schwurbler sind für mich keine Gegenüber in einer Diskussion - wie auch Kreationisten und Flat Earther nicht. Die mute ich einfach.

Null Bock auf alternative Realitäten, sorry.

Der liebste #CDU-Politiker aller #Wutbuerger, #Reichsbuerger und #AfD-Proleten, Hans-Georg #Maaßen, spricht sich für eine ÜBerprüfung von #Journalisten aus und wirft Mitarbeitenden der #Tagesschau Verbindungen in die #linksextrem|e Szene vor.

Ich werfe Maaßen Verbindungen in die #rechtsextrem|e Szene vor, bis hin zur offenen Komplizenschaft.

Finger weg von den #Medien, Du rechtsreaktionärer Sack! Und an die CDU: Finger weg von Maaßen! #nopassaran #Medienfreiheit https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/cdu-laschet-maassen-journalisten-1.5342295

Nochmals kurz zum #Covid19-#Zertifikat: Die #Impfung kostet stand heute nichts - ausser der Zeit für die zwei Termine. Schnelltests kosten bis zu einer gewissen Anzahl über einen Zeitraum hinweg nichts.
Nun tauchen Betrüger auf, die #Covidioten gefälschte Zertifikate für €100.- andrehen? Dass diese Schwurbler im Oberstübchen wurmstichig sind, war ja schon auf Grund von ihrem Gelaber klar. Dass sie sich ihr #Querulanten|tum auch noch viel Kohle kosten lassen, erstaunt schon eher. #zurhoelle
