This week, Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen imposed new Covid restrictions that require all adults in the country to be fully vaccinated and boosted or risk being fined.
The new authoritarian law runs through January 31st, 2024, and will go into effect next month.
Beginning on March 15th, law enforcement authorities will begin checking people’s vaccine status by conducting random traffic stops, and spot checks, in order to find dissenters. Anyone caught violating the mandate can be fined “up to four times a year,” with the penalty increasing with each violation. An individual’s first offense will result in a €600 (~$687) fine and can go as high as €3,400 (~$3,890) by the fourth.
The new law also allows the Austrian government to create a dystopian vaccine registry that will record everyone who has been vaccinated and give those who have been found disobeying a date they must be vaccinated by, allowing the government to fine them repeatedly.

8 Feb: ABC Australia: Millions have lined up for COVID-19 boosters, but it’s likely only some will get another follow-up dose
By Erin Cooper
Experts have weighed in on who may need to consider further booster shots, and how a universal vaccine could transform the status quo...
Will everyone need a fourth dose?
Deakin University epidemiology chair Catherine Bennett says Australia’s vaccine rollout being behind many other countries gives us the luxury to wait and see...

“Not only does it reinvigorate your immune response, but it’s a different kind of immune response and one we’re seeing is more sustained.
“We’re only just over the four-month mark for the first round of people who got boosters, so it’s a watch and see.”...

by Zoe Zaczek
The shipment of three million doses touched down in Sydney via Singapore overnight.
Novavax, which is Australia’s fourth vaccine to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, will be rolled out at GPs, pharmacies and state-run vaccination hubs across the nation from February 21.
But the jab will still need to undergo batch testing by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) before its use...
The TGA provisionally approved Novavax for Australians aged 18 and older on January 20, with two doses to be given three weeks apart.
The jab is not yet available for booster shots.
***The federal government has secured 51 million doses of the Novavax vaccine and is hopeful some vaccine-hesitant Australians will roll up their sleeves for the jab...

From the country that gave us Adolf Hitler, this is totally believable.
btw I did realise the thread was about Austria.
just wondering what countries like Australia and Canada have planned with all these “doses”???
Show me your papers!
Where have we seen this show before?
Shouldn’t we want a society that pre-emptively kills murderers? Let’s just call all unvaxxed that and be done with it. /obviously-super-heavy-sarcasm
I guess Hitler lives on, doesn’t look like they learned a ting.
Fascism returned in the form of a needle.
general strike. the only answer available to these people if they have the guts for it.
Yes, because this is all for our “health and safety,” right?
Such Satanic psychopaths will hopefully soon be slammed straight to Hell by Almighty God’s Righteous Wrath.
Or a train you can take to Italy. 😏
Nazis gotta Nazi :(
What is their problem?!?
If the powers that be wish to understand how far I will be pushed before I retaliate, this is that place.
Is all this Covid hysteria taking place under his government?
Austria’s government needs to fall.
I believe the young conservative gentleman is no longer in office.
“random traffic stops.” Evil. Austria has issues. The Catholic country needs to double the rosaries and fasting.
