Calls to ban Nazi-style yellow stars worn by Covid-sceptics in GermanyÂ
The German government s anti-Semitism commissioner has called for a ban on the use of Nazi-style yellow stars at demonstrations, writesÂ
Justin Huggler in Berlin.
Coronavirus sceptics have adopted the yellow star of David which Jews were forced to wear under the Nazis as a symbol of protest against vaccination.
Their use of the star has been widely condemned as inappropriate and disrespectful to victims of the Holocaust.
âWhen people use so-called Jewish stars at demonstrations and thus make comparisons that relativize the Holocaust, itâs time for a legal ban,â Felix Klein, the anti-Semitism commissioner said. Coronavirus sceptics and anti-vaxxers have taken to wearing the star with the word Jude, or âJewâ, replaced with Ungeimpft, which means âunvaccinatedâ.
World Wildlife Day spotlight on the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Published by
From protecting pollinators to studying bird migration, safeguarding Antarctic penguins and writing about jellyfish superpowers – a group of UEA researchers are making new discoveries about wildlife here in Norfolk and around the world.
World Wildlife Day is celebrated annually on March 3 in support of animals and plants across the world.
The Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation at UEA brings together ecologists and evolutionary biologists to study everything from micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi to plants and animals.
With more than 70 research staff and PhD students, it is one of the largest groups of its kind in Europe, with strong links to major institutions like the RSPB.

Why God why, you ask? Because common carp (
Cyprinus carpio) have reaped serious damage on Australia waterways, with populations getting out of control, ripping up vegetation, increasing sediment, and hunting native plants and animals. While the idea of controlling carp with a virus has been mulled over since 2016, in January of this year, government scientists formally asked for approval to kill the problematic non-native carp by releasing Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) into the continent’s largest freshwater supply.
Some scientists, however, say this herpes idea may be a pile of carp.
“Viral biocontrol is highly questionable and, as our study shows, it is unlikely to reduce carp numbers in the long term,” said Dr. Jackie Lighten of the University of Exeter in an interview with
Cats and dogs may also need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to help stunt the spread of the infectious disease amid a threat of the "continued evolution of the virus in animals," scientists have warned. Researchers at the University of East.
