UK should be grateful
Care for a good laugh? A bit off topic, but who cares?Here goes!
The UK will be reliant on the EU to complete its vaccine rollout and a little recognition of that would not go amiss, the European commissioner leading Brussels’ vaccine taskforce has said – adding that Europe could have fully vaccinated 70% of adults before the UK reaches its own target of one dose for all over-18s by the end of July.
Thierry Breton also said*AstraZeneca*had agreed that almost all the Covid vaccine doses made in the Netherlands over which the UK has made a claim will stay in the EU.
The first phase of the UK’s vaccination rollout was “hugely impressive”, Breton said, but Britain was “starting to realise that one dose is not enough, that you also need second doses – and that to a large extent it will be dependent on Europe” for them.
He said the UK had chosen a company to produce the Oxford vaccine that “had the advantage of being based in Britain, but no real experience in vaccine production … And we’re seeing today what that means.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-says-brussels

That is utter rubbish. Kindly take a look at a respectable newspaper like "the Daily Express" or "the Sun" okay?
Besides, all the world laughs about the EU...
How do you like my invisìble sarcasm tags?

Haha, just joking! Personally people from the UK are not more or less welcome in Germany than they were before Brexit. However we are in a pandemic, that is another story.
I am sure that you will find 50% people in Germany who think that visiting another country is (under certain circumstances like being vaccinated) is okay and 50% who do not agree.
At the moment you will have difficulties finding accomodation in hotels here in Germany.
