Would you support lockdowns for the unvaccinated ?

Austria is days away from ordering millions of unvaccinated people to stay at home, its chancellor has said, in a rare move that underscores the increasing exasperation of European leaders towards those who have not yet been inoculated against Covid-19.

Under Austria's plan, which was agreed in September, unvaccinated Austrians will face a stay-at-home order once 30% of intensive-care beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients. The current rate is 21%, according to the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), and a surge in infections has pushed it up quickly.

Unvaccinated people are already excluded from entertainment venues, restaurants, hairdressers and other parts of public life in Austria. If the new measures come into place, the unvaccinated will be ordered to stay home except for a few limited reasons; the rules will be policed by officers carrying out spot checks on those who are out.

Around 65% of Austria's population is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, one of the lower rates in the European Union.
''It is clear that this winter will be uncomfortable for the unvaccinated," Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg warned on Thursday.

Show evidence the vaccinated aren't spreading this, and/or immune in a way similar to natural immune are. Both have an expiration date, the vaccine expires in weeks, natural immune expire with age & overall health.

@checkoutanytime This is so silly. People who have already had covid have good protection, but just like vaccine-acquired immunity, it fades - and the period is months, not years. Everyone could do with a booster tbh.

Austrians could build an exception for those who were confirmed positive. But this is easier.

@QuixoticSoul think what you want bud, I don't subscribe to new is better. Like all drugs the jab increases tolerance, sure I agree. However, no drug makes one's resistance even stronger then the drug user.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime There are real structural problems with your argument (vaccines aren’t drugs) - but in effect increasing tolerance - to covid - is the whole point of vaccination.

And vaccination is not new, we have been vaccinating for hundreds of years.

@QuixoticSoul I disagree with the first part of your statement 100%, 180°.

Edit: bc, by increasing tolerance, one also makes themselves more susceptible as the "drug" vacates/absored/whatever by the body.

@checkoutanytime You have no clue. lol

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime No, having more available antibodies present doesn’t make you more susceptible to whatever.

@QuixoticSoul it's a false security blanket, Period

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime No, it’s quite meaningful, which is why ICUs the world over are filled with the unvaxxed.

@QuixoticSoul perhaps people should play in the literal dirt, more often then they play indoors with the literal dirt that is claimed to be causing climate change?

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime Quite a strange tangent.

checkoutanytime · M

@QuixoticSoul dito

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime No, I remained on topic, while you tried to drag climate change into it.

checkoutanytime · M

@QuixoticSoul no, I was making an example of how ridiculous people that tell us what to do, can not screw in a light bulb on their own.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime You did a terrible job lmao.

checkoutanytime · M

@QuixoticSoul I'm not surprised, that's your perspective.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime It made no sense, was off topic, and you are still wrong about how vaccines work and their efficacy.

checkoutanytime · M

@QuixoticSoul neat, I don't agree with you, and never will. Is why I teach my children about firearms, how to use them safely and properly. Long live 1776, kill the queen/king!

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime I don’t care - if you want to be a wingnut, go right ahead. Most ammosexuals are fairly harmless cranks, and pose little danger to the state. Once in a while one gets ventilated by the ATF, but no biggie.

You can disagree with basic biology too, but don’t be surprised when civilized society ignores your rants.

@QuixoticSoul I'm not talking about you, your current superiors are out of there mind, and I've no alliegence to this "must" behavior that is certainly, mere speculation. If "we the people ", do not end this now, it's back to the dark ages for centuries of wasting our efforts on Mars, until the next 1776, is my point at hand.

@checkoutanytime rage against the machine all you want, man, no one cares 🤷‍♂️

@QuixoticSoul that's my point, normal people don't care about how corrupt once esteemed Harvard/Yale once was, they've proven to be socialist communes with nothing Left to offer, aside from over thunk village idiots.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@checkoutanytime You have given up the topic in favor of whining about climate change and the ivy league.

checkoutanytime · M

@QuixoticSoul no its one in the same. This cold is not lethal to normal people
