The compulsory corona vaccination in Austria is to be decided at the end of January.

With tens of thousands of statements on the parliamentary side, anti-vaccination campaigners now want to delay this.

Vienna / Munich - The deadly corona virus has the world firmly under control.

Europe in particular is currently affected by the fourth wave of the pandemic.

The escalating Omikron wave in Great Britain is causing additional worries, but the new variant has also been proven several times in Germany.

Vaccination can offer great protection against this, which is why the current debate about mandatory vaccination has top priority.

The calls for this regulation are getting louder, while Austria has already taken a concrete step.

The compulsory vaccination, which will apply from the beginning of February, is to be decided in the National Council at the end of January, but vaccination opponents want to prevent this and are flooding the parliamentary side.

Vaccination law in Austria: Vaccination opponents storm parliament and want to cause chaos of appointments

The proposed law was uploaded to the official website of the Austrian parliament. The intention: Here everyone - institutions, but also private individuals - should have the opportunity to comment on the new law. This option is now getting out of control, as it was discovered by anti-vaccination campaigners and has since been used as a new platform for spreading their false theses about vaccination.

The main goal of the opponents of vaccination with their action is apparently a different, very specific one: To create a mess of dates in order to delay or prevent the decision to vaccinate. According to the Parliamentary

Directorate

,

almost 40 thousand opinions have been received, as

reported by

OE24

. A large part of course comes from opponents of the mandatory vaccination. The Austrian government has to deal with all these complaints by January 9th, because deleting or ignoring the comments on this sensitive topic would put the government under constitutional difficulties. It is highly doubtful whether this will succeed in time with such an overwhelming number. The planned date for the mandatory vaccination is now shaky.

Vaccination law in Austria: officials wrestle with a flood of complaints - bizarre arguments of the opponents of vaccination

In order to be able to finish in time, the responsible officials have to process several thousand complaints per working day and several hundred per hour in the remaining time up to January 9th.

Given the high number of objections submitted, this seems like an almost impossible task.

In addition, the comments will not stop by the date mentioned, but rather will continue to increase.

The opponents of vaccination appear with rather sketchy and bizarre arguments.

Some claim that the vaccines are "experimental".

They ignore the fact that all vaccines go through long and multiple tests and approval processes.

It goes on to say that “mRNA vaccinations cannot produce sterile immunity and spiked people still get sick and are contagious”.

Again, however, they ignore the fact that vaccinated people are much less likely to end up in hospital and thus less likely to overload the health system.
