The E-Werk cultural center in Erlangen is converting to the 2G rule.
Only those who have been vaccinated and Genesis are allowed to celebrate.
That creates a lot of trouble on the net.
Erlangen - According to a new decision by the state government, organizers can decide for themselves whether to apply the 2G or the 3G-plus rules.
From October 16, only those who have been vaccinated or recovered are allowed to enter the E-Werk cultural center in Erlangen *.
The decision on the 2G rule was not easy for the organizers, as they explain in a post on Instagram.
Opponents of the vaccination would behave in a lack of solidarity with society.
You would accept an overload of the health system.
The resulting renewed lockdown could mean the end for many cultural activists.
"We do not want to and cannot risk that," writes the E-Werk.

"We see the step to the 2G rule as the most sensible and safest option for the transition period ahead until the return to 'old normality'", says E-Werk, justifying its decision.
The vaccination against the coronavirus * is considered to be the only way out of the pandemic.
Many users in social networks see it differently, sometimes reacting with comments that go below the belt.

There is talk of discrimination and fascism in the comments.
One Facebook user calls for the store to be boycotted, another finds the decision “simply ridiculous”.
There seems to be a lot of anger on social networks.
“Starved of it.
As a matter of principle, I cannot support people who discriminate against others, ”it continues.
Some people who have been vaccinated are also critical of the 2G rule.
The E-Werk thereby promotes a "two-class society".
The real reasons are "only commercial".
In addition to the numerous negative reactions, there are also many users who support the E-Werk's decision.
“Very good statement”, “Thank you” and “I think it's very good” can be read more often under the posts.
Managing Director Jan Dinger: "Anyone who calls us fascists has not understood the work of the E-Werk"
The managing director of the E-Werk Jan Dinger told
Nordbayern.de
that they wanted to be “part of the solution”. "Unvaccinated guests in the E-Werk could get infected here quite easily and thus, if the course is severe, contribute to the fact that the intensive care units may be overcrowded again," Dinger told the portal. You don't want to become a hotspot for the unvaccinated.
Dinger reacts indignantly to the criticism: "Anyone who calls us fascists has not understood the work of the E-Werk." He also firmly rejects the accusation of switching to 2G only for commercial reasons.
“That is not true, we are reducing the circle of potential visitors compared to 3G +.” He had the feeling that the negative comments were downright encouraged.
