Austria has become the first country to declare that it is going back into full lockdown and that from early next year, covid jabs will be compulsory for every citizen.
From February 1st, every Austrian will be obliged to have at least two jabs. Those who refuse will face heavy fines and other “unspecified consequences.”
The country will go into a hard lockdown from this coming Monday. Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg told a press conference this morning:
“This is not easy for us, but in view of the number of infections we have to take such measures. It hurts me to have to impose any restrictions.
Despite months of persuasion, we haven’t been able to convince enough people to get vaccinated. We are demanding a lot from the vaccinated people in this country, because the unvaccinated people have not shown solidarity.”
Schallenberg said that Monday’s lockdown will initially last for three weeks. Restaurants, pubs, and all non-essential shops will be closed and people will be told to remain at home. Classroom teaching will be suspended and schools will revert to distance learning.
So there it is. The leader of a European nation has declared that everyone in the country must be jabbed by February or they will be fined and face other consequences. What other consequences? Removal to a quarantine camp maybe?
Schallenberg should be dragged screaming from his office and sent into exile.
