I beg you, please implement a strict booster requirement for the congress. Just add a requirement to the form. The Congress traditionally draws a lot of vulnerable people from marginalized communities. It is your duty to protect them.

Strictly excluding those rejecting the vaccine will also select against right-wing extremists (which they generally are), so there would be an additional strongly protective factor at play.

c3gelb and CERT are afaik responsible for planning the hygiene concept.

Complaints or suggestions made here will likely fall on deaf ears.

Shit idea.

Boosters are not widely available in many countries for people outside the risk group.

In a lot of places you simply cannot get a booster currently unless you are a healthcare worker, or documented risk group.

No, you can’t even get them privately at this time either.

Then they should just be up-to-date with their latest available booster shot.

Imagine a Congress without right-wing extremists at all.

Have right-wing extremists ever been a problem at the Congress?

Have you heard about fefe and his following?

Is that a yes? My question was not a rhetorical one.

I occasionally read his blog, but "right-wing extremist" would not be one of the words I'd use to describe his content. I know nothing about his following. IIRC he is also vaccinated so not sure where this is headed.

The last available booster shot in many places was the third shot, way back in I think 2021.

That’s “the most up to date and available booster” in many countries.

The boosters since have been often only available to healthcare workers, the elderly, or those with preexisting conditions.

Are you looking to exclude entire nationalities of people from attending? For instance, in Finland it is not possible to receive another booster unless you are elderly or in a vulnerable risk group.
