The vaccine is scarce.
However, it seems to be abundant in some homes.
In one facility, a mayor was unabashedly vaccinated.
Update from January 18, 12:04 p.m.: The
first information about the incredible
corona incidents
leaked out at the weekend
: In Austria,
numerous external people
are said to
have been vaccinated
in
nursing homes
.
There is actually a strict
sequence of vaccinations
in the Alpine republic
.
Seniors and risk patients are vaccinated first.
Corona in Austria: external people in nursing home vaccinated - mayor takes a stand
In a retirement home in
Eberschwang
,
Austria
, a total of 30 external people received a corona vaccination, including
Mayor Josef Bleckenwegner
.
He cannot understand the excitement surrounding the incident - and has now taken a stand.
“I've already thought about writing about my vaccination in the next community newspaper.
Because of the
role model
for those who doubt the vaccination, ”the
Kronen-Zeitung
quotes him
.
Apart from that, the mayor takes the view that, as a local politician, he was classified as "systemically important people for the home".

In addition to Bleckenwegner, his two vice mayors and family members were also vaccinated by general practitioners.
According to the Austrian Social Department, the
vaccine
in the home was given priority for the
residents and employees of
the facility.
"External service providers of the old people's and nursing home who regularly (several times a week) do their services in the facility," the
Kronen-Zeitung
quotes
the office.
First report from January 17, 2020
Munich - It is human nature
to strive for
profit maximization
in every situation
.
To smell business anytime and anywhere.
The
Corona crisis is
no exception.
Unsurprisingly
, many distributors of
FFP2 masks raised
the prices after Prime Minister
Markus Söder
made them mandatory
in Bavaria
.
Of course only too understandable.
Ultimately,
supply and demand determine
the price.
Similarly desperately million currently are hungry people by the various
vaccines, the manufacturer BioNTech / Pfizer, Moderna and Co.
.
Which is why a profitable business model is revealed here too.
However, apparently not necessarily only for the pharmaceutical companies.

Nursing homes should also have taken care of external people
In Austria there is an allegation that
nursing homes
are said to have also vaccinated external people - apparently
against payment
.
When it comes
to
the
sequence of vaccinations, the
Alpine republic has
chosen the
same route as Germany: first senior citizens and
high-
risk patients.
Accordingly, the
facilities
in which they live or are treated were given priority.
Which some people probably took advantage of in an unfair way.
Retirement homes in several
Carinthian districts
are also said to have vaccinated relatives, reports
oe24
.
Specifically, one facility is about
100 external people
who have already received the BioNTech vaccine.

Vial should be enough for more people than expected
In the
Kleine Zeitung
, Carinthia's Corona spokesman Gerd Kurath at least admitted that
29 external people, including 20 relatives
, had been vaccinated
in the said home
.
However, he provided this declaration: The vaccine from the Mainz-based company was dosed in such a way that
five people
should be
supplied per vial
, but the content was enough for
six people
.
Because the vaccine had to be used up immediately, a so-called
reserve list was used
.
But someone seems to have taken the best possible precautions.

"0.3 milliliters are inoculated per person"
Vaccination doctor
Ingeborg Juvan, similar to Kurath, said on
ORF
: “2.2 milliliters are contained in a vial, the
dose
that is vaccinated per person is 0.3 milliliters.
If you add in the
volume
that is in the needle, you get
six vaccine doses
out
of the volume
. "
This procedure has now been officially approved.
But of course not in order
to be able to vaccinate
younger people without previous illnesses in
advance.
In order to be able to capitalize on it - i.e. money.
Corona vaccine sold?
Allegedly, relatives could reserve in advance
Juvan counters
this
accusation
very decisively.
Only people “who are to be settled in the
vicinity of the nursing homes
or
people with disabilities were able to
benefit from the excess vaccine
.
These people are all part of the company and work in areas where there is a
high risk
. "
That sounds
completely different
from the mouths of nurses to whom
oe24
refers.
Accordingly, "downright
vaccine was reserved by relatives
".
In
return
for “a donation”, the institutions would have
ordered more vaccination doses than they needed
.
In addition to acquaintances,
local celebrities are
said to have
been taken care of.

Politicians and doctors admit early vaccination
Obviously,
Upper Austrian local politicians were also
happy
about an early dose
.
The
Kronenzeitung
reports that in Eberschwang in the Ried district, the
mayor Josef Bleckenwegner (SPÖ) and two vice mayors of the SPÖ and FPÖ were
vaccinated, as well as
family members and general practitioners
.
All in all 30 external people.
The background is said to have been that on January 5th, many residents and employees in a small nursing home were sick, but the
existing vaccine
had to be used up.
Dr.
Florian Obermair, one of the lucky ones, sees nothing reprehensible in the process - on the contrary: "Many who are skeptical may go with them after all when they
see
the
role models
who are vaccinated." Bleckenwegner's explanation is similar: " We wanted to be a
role model
: Look, we're going to vaccinate!
And: should the
serum have expired
? "

Home operators confirm requests from external parties
Can the
accusations
be refuted so easily everywhere?
They are always serious.
However, demands from politicians who
bring
special rights for vaccinated people
into discussion should basically pave the way for such machinations.
According to
ORF
, home
operators
also
confirm
that there have been
vaccination requests from outside
.
There are already calls for an independent commission of inquiry.
The authorities are meanwhile
relying
on a
special feature of the vaccine
, which could decisively
help
the investigations: Since the
BioNTech vaccine
has to be administered twice in
order for it to work, unlawfully preferred people would soon have to compete again for the
anti-corona substance
to recieve.
And then the whole fraud could be exposed.
