Corona parties and worming agents: Austrians are increasingly resorting to weird means to circumvent the latest measures.
A man now paid with his life.
Munich - Just like Germany, the neighboring country Austria is currently fighting against the fourth wave of the corona pandemic.
Thousands are infected every day while the hospitals are full.
The measures are being strengthened.
Most recently, a curfew for unvaccinated people was decided.
Doctors are even calling for a lockdown for everyone.
In the midst of this critical situation, a very specific phenomenon occurs again more frequently: Corona parties.
This is where the participants contract the virus, and specifically.
They don't think much of a vaccination and prefer to purposely infect them.
Apparently they underestimate the consequences.
One of them was an Austrian who died after being deliberately infected.
Corona escalation: questionable trend - infection rather than vaccination
Deliberate infection with a deadly virus seems absurd.
Nevertheless, many people who refuse to vaccinate use this route to avoid vaccination.
Their goal: to achieve the convalescent status and benefit from freedoms without a vaccination, while hoping for a mild course of the disease.
However, this hope sometimes ends with fatal consequences, because a mild course is not guaranteed.
Intentional infection can quickly end in death.
Corona death: Austrians die after deliberate infection
The last time it hit a 55-year-old Austrian.
The deliberate infection with the virus at a corona party cost him his life, as a doctor from the Liezen district in Styria confirmed to the
Kleine Zeitung
.
“Often it only takes place in smaller towns, but there are many such gatherings,” said the doctor and added: “That can be good, but we also know of an Ennstaler who paid for such an infection with his life.
He died of Corona even though he was only 55 years old. "Along with the 55-year-old, four under 30-year-olds are said to have been infected at the party.
Fighting corona on your own - Austrians take wormers against the virus
However, the bizarre actions of the opponents of vaccination are not limited to corona parties.
In Austria, many people who refuse to vaccinate claim that the parasite drug ivermectin is effective against the virus.
Especially in Upper Austria there are even delivery bottlenecks due to the high demand, said the
Tagesspiegel
.
Ivermectin is mainly given to horses for deworming.
A woman who took the wormer is currently fighting for her life in the intensive care unit.
Spokesman for Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltengesellschaft mbH (KAGes), Reinhard Marcik, confirmed the case to
OE24
: "She has suffered severe poisoning, her condition is life-threatening."
