Vaccinations to made a legal requirement in Austria from Feb 2022

Days after Austria imposed a lockdown on the unvaccinated, it has announced a full national Covid-19 lockdown starting on Monday.

Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said it would last at least 10 days and there would be a legal requirement to get vaccinated from 1 February 2022.

Jesus. I'm shocked by that. I'm not an antivaxxer but I still very concerned that a country could make any vaccine a legal requirement! I feel it's a step too far.

Excellent post!

Covid hysteria will never stop. The government spent millions on a 2 year terror campaign that was put together with the help of psychologists and it’s been very successful. You can read about it on gov.uk. You can also read the open letter put together by leading psychologists who raised alarms about the ethics and legalities of doing this.

Concerns have been raised all along about every aspect of this, from the reliability of these tests to the ridiculous idea of dying of covid within 30 days of a positive test. Those concerns were not raised by conspiracy theorists but professionals and experts. Anyone raising concerns was quickly censored and mocked.

There is damming evidence that many people were reported as having died of covid when they did not. There is damming evidence that people with disabilities were denied basic care and died unnecessarily. Yet still the covid hysteria continues. We are seeing it here on this thread with people eagerly supporting the imprisonment of people who decline the vaccine despite the fact it has a 99 per cent recovery rate and is a mild illness to most. So mild in fact many people don’t know they have it.

This article details the murders that occurred under the guise of covid with their illegal DNR policy’s.

www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2020/10/uk-older-people-in-care-homes-abandoned-to-die-amid-government-failures-during-covid-19-pandemic/

The government realised something in their campaign. And that is that if you give people an opportunity to be nasty many will eagerly embrace it. I’ve been shocked and disgusted at the snitching on neighbours, the shaming of people buying non essential items, the cutting off friends who have a different opinion. How some people have loved being able to abuse others under the guise of covid.

How some people did not realise something was terribly wrong I do not know. Instead they clapped the grinning nurses who were denying our relatives basic care and were so overwhelmed they were able to choreograph various dance routines.

There's a lot of hyperbole here- much taken directly from the State of Fear (may they rest in peace) threads.

Here we go again.

Can we stop with the Hitler comparisons given that he would've been the first to prevent certain groups getting access to a vaccine that would offer protection during a pandemic.

As @JassyRadlett pointed out, such groups were denied vaccination during Nazi Germany.

It's such a bizzare and lazy comparison to make.

ZeroFsKarma · 19/11/2021 16:47

@MarbleQueen completely agree.

"even if you died of a clear alternative cause it's still listed as a covid death"
The same thing this woman talks about has been happening all over the world, yet if there is a death or injury soon after vaccination it's a coincidence. I completely belive Covid is real but I do think the numbers have been heavily skewed & we will probably never be told the truth about adverse reactions to the jab.

@ollyollyoxenfree lazy, maybe. First bloke who springs to mind when you think of totalitarianism.
"You will be punished if you don't give up your basic rights". Hardly a bizarre comparison.

fumfspos · 19/11/2021 16:54

The "imprisonment" mentioned in the article about Austria which has been quoted several times has been inadequately translated. It is an "Ersatzfreiheitstrafe" and it means doing some time in jail instead of paying a fine. So if someone was fined 1000 Euros for not getting vaccinated, for example, (and 1000 Euros randomly plucked out of the air to aid the example), if they were unable to pay that they would go to jail for a certain number of hours. There is a complicated system of the number of hours you need to do based on the fine and on other factors - I don't know the details.
If you had the 1000 Euros to pay but didn't want to you could opt to do the jail time instead. It is not a prison sentence and it is not issued by a court. It is an administrative matter.

I'm in Austria and I'm fully vaccinated and I am very very concerned about how this is going. Our government have been becoming increasingly authoritarian as time has gone on during the pandemic and it actually scares me.

The person is question has posted an edited cut taken from tiktok of a woman called Dr Ezike

www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/call-out-the-untruths-illinois-top-doctor-shares-message-to-those-who-think-covid-19-is-like-flu/2374911/

The information she is giving is not what you are relaying to be....

As I said, Hitler would be the first to deny certain groups the coronavirus vaccine and the protection it confers, as was done during Nazi Germany with the vaccines recommended at the time.

How is it relevant to the thread?

ZeroFsKarma · 19/11/2021 17:00

OH PLEASE @ollyollyoxenfree - they have been classifying a lot of deaths as covid deaths when they are not! I thought this was common knowledge but obviously not. She's the director of public health for illinois & she said what she said. It's not about what I'm relaying it's what she bloody said.

eandz13 · 19/11/2021 17:00

@ollyollyoxenfree that many people do not WANT the vaccine, and are being forced to under threat of imprisonment! How are you struggling with this?

Exactly. That paragraph is disgusting.

This makes me feel deeply uncomfortable. What could possibly cause us alarm that we may later embrace?

It makes me think this Marina Abramovic performance art.

How are you struggling with why the comparisons to Hitler are nonsenical and offensive?

I've already stated many times I don't agree with this policy. Predictably the thread gets taken over with anti-vaccine misinformation and comparisons to Nazi germany which makes rational discussion impossible.

Except she didn't say that. As I said, you're just copying and pasting an extract someone uploaded and edited on Tiktok, without making any basic attempts to check it.

Here is what Dr Ezike (the woman you're misquoting) actually said:

“When we have looked at all the deaths that have occurred, and unfortunately there have been over 9,074 at this point, we have looked at those that were related to an accident or obviously not proximate to the COVID-19 virus,” she said during a press conference Wednesday. “It was less than 0.6% of those deaths were in that category where it was an accident, or homicide, or something where the COVID diagnosis was not the proximate cause of death.”

I wonder what the consequences would be for not being vaccinated then? Will this be a one off fine or a weekly or monthly fine?

You have all been played, many on here were saying it months ago and were shut down and labelled conspiracy theorists.

I used to have respect for the posters on here to a point.

I can't read that but honestly? Do you believe the press? Really?
SencosRshit · 19/11/2021 17:28

@placemats

This from the Guardian today.

'Support for a pass showing proof of vaccination to attend large sporting events and concerts ranged from 57% of respondents in France to 59% in Germany, 62% in Italy and 64% in Spain and Britain, with only Poland (45%) falling below 50%.'

YouGov survey.

www.theguardian.com/world/live/2021/nov/19/covid-news-live-macron-says-locking-down-frances-unvaccinated-not-necessary

It's really interesting to know that the UK is up there with compliance, though you wouldn't think so by the comments on this thread.

YouGov is shockingly, outrageously, I would have thought illegally biased @placemats .

So many people (including myself) used to answer their surveys and are now bypassed because we don't answer to the Tory agenda/liking.

It's not a secret that YouGov was founded by Nadhim Zahawi.

It isn't edited, it's an excerpt yes but she said those words. They have always said any death within a certain amount of time following a positive test = covide death - even if the person was asymptomatic. This is why everyday Sky News tweets about deaths "WITH" covid or "covid RELATED" deaths not FROM.
