A Senate investigation revealed that out of the number of people who were listed as new COVID cases, 22% were vaccinated, 63% had an unknown vaccine status and only 14% were unvaccinated. Mayor Tschentscher's claim inflated 14% up to 95%. He is accused of deliberately misleading the public and there are now calls for his resignation. Because of his mathematical 'error', all unvaccinated  people across Germany have been banned from a long list of indoor venues. The policy has also been applied to outdoor Christmas markets. Mandatory vaccines are now being imposed on the German population.
