Ultimately, it's a consequence of the fear to make vaccination a must, so the unvaccinated are getting penalized at every opportunity which comes with the consequence that things get worse for vaccinated people too. The unvaccinated prove to be the biggest threat to their own cause, because their attitude isn't going to get them freedom. But since the level of stupidity in Austria is higher than in most other countries in Europe, there won't be many unvaccinated who will give in in response to the new measures. The vast majority of them will now double down. |
Yes, it will provoke backlash. I'm just wondering about how to enforce it? Here the police is definitely not allowed to stop you to ask your vaccination status, but business are allowed to require proof of vaccination before allowing entry. (Only some non essential businesses).
Lock downs never included essential businesses here, and the only thing the police could enforce was to break up large gatherings. (Not that they did or wanted to enforce anyway. Police got better things to do than count groups of people)
Masks are still mandatory here though, but those are by municipal by-law. It can change by county, as does the fine for not wearing one indoors.
Apparently the solution here to the stubborn holdouts is to start vaccinating 6 to 11 year olds next. We made it to 75% fully vaccinated and cases are starting to rise again. Never ending.
