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.

Gee…a government that’s more authoritarian than our own.
Sounds like Schwarzenegger’s kind of place, I suggest he move back there.
“ WTF?!”

My thought exactly. What the hell is going on in Austria?
Adolf rises from the grave in his fatherland.
no truckers down under?
What’s his cut?
Austria is up over, not down under.
Austria.
Not Australia.
I have to do a double take, these days.
Over Under Sideways Down.
It seems each country is in competition with each other to come up with a new outrage. Right now Austria is pulling alongside Australia.
The Fourth Reich reigns in Austria.
You have to remember Austrians welcomed the Nazis with enthusiasm. Hitler was born near Lintz, considered it his home town, and plans for a huge cultural mega-complex to be built there.
No, I don’t find this surprising at all.
(Not all Austrians felt the same way, any more than all Texans share the same opinions.)
leave it to de germahns
rhey’re austrian, yeah a distinction without a difference
There’s actually a mountain pass you can escape over into Switzerland on foot.
Maybe there was something in the water - and still is.
crazy, would have sworn I read Australia.
But they’re both NAZI states
