Austria becomes first Western country to resort to mandatory coronavirus vaccination

Austria has become the first Western democracy to resort to mandatory vaccination in response to a record-breaking surge in infections that has flooded its hospitals with critical COVID-19 patients.

Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced Friday that COVID-19 vaccination would be mandatory in the Alpine republic from February 2022.

That makes Austria the first European country — and one of the first in the world — to impose compulsory coronavirus vaccination.

“We have not managed to get enough unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. The most recent measures have increased daily vaccinations but not enough," Schallenberg said. "For a long time, it was consensus in the country that a vaccine mandate is not necessary, but we have to face reality."

Austria will also enter a nationwide lockdown for a maximum of 20 days from next Monday, Schallenberg added.

The decision by Schallenberg, who has only been in the job for just over a month after predecessor Sebastian Kurz stepped down amid a sleaze investigation, marks a dramatic escalation in Vienna’s policy response after Austria’s fourth coronavirus wave went ballistic.

The central European country is grappling with a surging infection rate, as more than 15,000 new cases were reported Thursday, up from 11,000 earlier this week.

Takeup of coronavirus vaccination by Austria’s nine million people has been relatively low by European standards, at 65.5 percent, despite ample availability of doses procured centrally for EU member states.

That reflects a more widespread skepticism in German-speaking countries — in particular in regions where parties of the political far right that have campaigned against pandemic restrictions enjoy strong support.

That, in turn, has left societies wide open to the Delta variant, which is more infectious than earlier iterations of the coronavirus and thrives in colder weather.

What purpose are you alleging to? What is it for the, in your eyes, false reports of infected people and deaths, why are all governments apparently inflating numbers and messing with their economies to pull the wool over their populations eyes? It must be a good reason for everyone to go to these lengths. If the mass graves in New York and the overflowing cemeteries in developing countries are exhumed would we find bodies with bullet holes instead of virus? You know kill a few hundred thousand to make it look authentic that a virus is loose?

Is it the chip in the vaccine to have mind control over the masses and turn us all into drones or what? Is this the Anti  Christ 'number' we are supposed to have tattooed on us although technology has moved on since that idea came out. We won't be able to access health, food, water, jobs, accommodation without one?

mostly a depopulation agenda

Boris Johnson himself wrote a passionate article back in 2013 talking about over population crisis and how it needed to be controlled.

and then of course complete compliance and obedience from those still alive


winning a crown has never been much of a problem back in the day for various monarchs.....it's keeping it that's difficult

Much easier and quicker ways to do that, and you could probably choose who you wish to survive..

Similar is not the same.

You're right. It's quite possible that the fatality rate for covid is actually lower than the fatality rate of a standard flu virus. In any case less than 1% of the population dying from this hardly warrants constant lockdowns and forced vaccinations.


Are the overflow morgues an illusion on my part then? Or am I lying as well as many scientists and other people.

it is easier to fool a person than to convince a person that they have been fooled

dont know who said that but it's true.

also saw a podcast with a prediction that when all the lies do eventually unravel (predicted spring) and the truth is known that suicides will rocket because the psychological trauma done to people will be just too much to bear.

and there will always be the section like syl who lives in a nice fluffy world where the government wouldn't dream of lying to the people and can be trusted to to it's utmost to protect it's citizens, and will ignore and dismiss evidence before her eyes because it's too much to cope with.  she will never leave that world because she can't.  she is probably all ready double jabbed and will go for a booster and (if she has the real thing and not the placebo which makes perfect scientific sense during a deadly pandemic ) she will die in a few short years  and then she will haunt me and say ''see, geli, i told you covid was dangerous''

No one is saying governments don’t lie to their people. Boris Johnson and the Tories have done literally nothing BUT lie to us on a near daily basis since the start of his takeover on 2019. It gave us our (not) oven ready Brexit and has been fking us ever since. Some of us have been attacking this government over their (very real) lies for a lot longer than others.

However, in regards to Covid, I think it takes a staggering amount of incredulity to believe that every government in the world would all agree to follow and propagate the same lie for 2 years and at massive economic cost to every one of them, despite the fact than any individual one (especially Russia or China) would benefit massively from exposing the ‘lie’ that has led western governments to take extreme measures against their own people.

Sounds more like desperate conspiracy thirsting when you can deny the stupidity of believing such rubbish.

Note, I’m not even commenting on whether the response to Covid is proportional or not - but sheer overreaction through incompetence (if you do believe they overreacted) is far more likely than some loony NWO BS.

and your answer demonstrates perfectly why the elite can do exactly whatever the fuck they like, have been doing and will continue to do so.

cos it's just some wild conspiracy BS

so do you work at a morgue?  or an undertakers? or crematorium.  what are your own experiences.

during the autumn of 2020 undertakers were online saying that there had been no increase in business and this was up and down the country.  it is possible that in certain areas there were more deaths, I'm not sure but you would have to be more specific

Where did the bodies I have seen come from in the storage centres elaborate con?
Were all the people working in the hospital morgues and the storage centres in on it or if not how did some dark entity manage to convince them to go along with it or manage to make it look real even to them as well?
This must be an even better conspiracy than the moon landings the numbers involved are staggering, to keep all them quiet is some feat - the entire world's governments and all the minions working in health and the funeral industries. Who were all those bodies buried in mass graves and huge cemeteries around the world - empty body bags maybe, sacrificing down and outs, druggies, illegal immigrants and the homeless maybe?
maybe.
