Austria hits panic button.

We're not talking about triage though. They mean denying treatment as an encouragement or to prove a point.

It's not even a factor in triage.

The patient may be or unconscious or unable to speak in which case how do you ask him if he took a vaccine? Do you stop what you're doing and start ringing around GPs? "Yeah my patient is dying, I'd like to know if he took a vaccine can you help me out?"

There's little to no proof that the unvaxxed are the cause of any of this. It's becoming a thing because states have got way too comfortable with their authoritarian policies.

You're gleeful because people are literally being forced to do what you want by the Austrian state? We really do have many mindless megalomaniacs in our midst. The irony certainly isn't lost on me that the vast majority of supporters of these tyrannical polices are the same people crying about the rise of imagined authoritarianism in the last few years, because politicians that they didn't like get some power. Now, we've clear cut authoritarianism, and they are all on board. I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

Move out of your nice house and big income and Audi car and turn your family into asylum seekers like rats living in a compound?

Good point. Perhaps I should have said emigrate to a friendly country. Settled people with mortgages wouldn't find that easy.

But if you're being injected against your will that is also a rat-like existence.

what if your only choice of a kidney was from an unvaxxed person? you gonna turn it down?

Your all drama.

The Hospitals are full, when a bed comes available and there are a number of covid patients needing it all things being equal the vaccinated person should get it over the unvaccinated.

Your drama about denying treatment is not what anyone is saying, its prioritising the limited resources correctly.

If someone is willing to make the choice to take no precautions to protect themselves, (which i dont object to) then they should be waiting in line behind the person who did take the obvious and very free vaccination to protect themselves.

The other side of this is that people who knowingly went unvaccinated are taking the limited medical capacity needlessly away from people who need it and did all they could.

They're talking about random spot checks I believe. Think I saw one here (Berlin) earlier todayand I'm not even sure there's been word of any lockdown.

The other option is to get everyone who isn't vaccinated to wear a badge of some sort... Something like a yellow star...

Christ above, I really hope you don't believe the very words you put up here. Doesn't get much more dramatic than this.

We've been through 4 lockdowns now where the numbers have been considered "out of control" a "public health crisis"! And yet less than 10% of the population have contracted the virus (which I believe to be an overestimation given how quick they were blame the virus on everything). And many of whom never even got any symptoms. No disrespect to those or the families of those who have died, but the severity/seriousness of the virus has been vastly exaggerated and the dogs in the street could tell you that the problems stem from how poor your health system is. The virus is like the spot light for awful health systems in the world.

Yet again, the government are upping the rhetoric on the "antivaxrs". They are looking at austria and drooling at how they created a boogeyman out of our local "anti-vaxr". Lockdowns for the unvaccinated are just around the corner here too and in future it will be lockdowns for whoever hasn't their covid cert up to date regardless of if you recieved the initial dose or not.

If definitely does.

Its simply with limited resources you want the best outcomes from them.

Many of us will have been in these situation. I'm glad you haven't.

What's the story with Sebastian Kurz? I see he had to resign on some corruption charge a month ago. Were any of these measures introduced under his watch?

Are you one of those types who think one death is too many therefore lockdowns, no matter how severe, are justified? Do you think all the lockdown related suicides are justified? Do you think death and the myriad of other shocking side effects of the vaccine are justified?

A lockdown on the unvaccinated would create chaos. You do realise that a lockdown on the unvaccinated would harm you just as much? There would be spot checks by gardai everywhere you go. A real sick life that you feel is justified despite us having no evidence to suggest it would save lives.

So many people have lost the complete run of themselves with this dose.

I'm just trying to imagine unvaxxed people running through the streets of Vienna, trying to evade the authorities.

With crack teams of snipers shooting them with those tranquilizer rifles they use to take down animals in the wild, only with vaccine darts instead. 😋

We're moving into a dystopian future!
