Not vaccinated? Can't leave home: Anger, protest over Austria's new lockdown rules amid Covid surge

Austria declared a lockdown for people not vaccinated against Covid amid a surge in cases. The announcement - a first in the EU - was made by Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg. Thousands took to streets to protest against the lockdown for the unvaccinated in Austria. Protesters gathered outside the chancellory in a noisy protest and waved banners. Previously, the unvaccinated were already banned from restaurants, hotels, and cultural venues. About 65% of Austria's almost nine million people are vaccinated, below the EU average of 67%. So far, about 11,700 people infected with the coronavirus have died in Austria. Other European Govts are also eyeing curbs with the Netherlands opting for partial lockdown.

[bobjones]

Not s single Austrian cop will dare question a single person in or near a mosque

Schallenberg is such a creepy guy! And more of them are so creepy! I don’t want to live in fear, but it is difficult these days!

You know why they are winning is cause this video had not even 7000 views and 112 comments, people this is our lives we are fighting for wake up

[virtuous]

forcing a risky jab is worse than mandating a mask.

[laylah]

How can you even ask if this is right or wrong?

[jasfasola]

Fight for your don't give up Support from Poland.

[spider-verse]

People look this where discrimination begins they tell us that freedom of choice

[joeletienne]

This is coercion pure and simple. Punishable under law but apparently governments don't need to take it into consideration when it 'affects public welfare' utter rubbish!

This kind of measures are not only evil, but extremely dangerous to society. No low in the world can force people to bring harm to their health by possible side effects. The right to visit a restaurant, sport or just walk outside home is A BASIC RIGHT. The 3de nature law of Newton: every action is met by reaction, is not only a physical low, but also social. An action that would lead to dystopia, will lead to social violence and chaos. People who are normally abiding law and paying taxes, will turn into freedom fighters the way the French Maquis was in WWII.

It's individual wish. Who assures the life guaranty after effects of vaccination. Till they believe it is safe no compulsion.

Good job by Austria people for doing is really useless...Doing lockdown indefinitely will not help to end pandemic.Instead make rtpcr negative report compulsory to enter any public place...Make strict mask rule everywhere.Deploy Marshall's to make sure everyone wear mask in public place

[ungurmariusalexandru]

Horrific, pure discrimination and nobody does nothing! People wake up! Before is too late!!! Stop sleeping while <THEY> take away your basic rights!!!!

[rudra]

Imagine if an Austrian kid gets rejected by art school because he is unvaccinated

[Mr_RD-]
