The Covid-19 Vaccination Mandate of The Bundeswehr Explained

In the last week of 2021, a video circulated on the web. It showed Sergeant Major (Oberfeldwebel) Andreas Anton Oberauer issuing a vague warning against unnamed politicians without specifying much. He set an “ultimatum” in the event that the corona policies were not lifted by 4:00 p.m. (presumably of the following day - but that was also unclear). A second video revealed the nature of his "warning." He “ordered” his subordinates to dress in uniform and protect the decentralized anti-corona-policy protests.

And while his behaviour was obviously erratic, it drew my attention to the fact that a vaccine mandate was already silently introduced at the Bundeswehr. Soldiers are generally submitted to some vaccines. They are diseases that they are likely susceptible to, for example, those which are endemic in other countries. This situation is expanded to include the new vaccine. Other countries are likely to have similar arrangements. So I explain in detail how this works.
