Austria Backtracks On Lockdowns And Fines For The Unvaccinated

The following report is from the Trends Journal:

The Austrian government on Wednesday said its November mandate to lock down unvaccinated residents will end a day before the countrywide vaccine mandate takes effect, citing the relatively low numbers of patients in ICUs across the country.

The rules that are in place that bar unvaccinated individuals from restaurants will also begin to be phased out, along with the need to show proof of vaccination or recovery to enter shops, Global News reported. 

“Despite relaxations, caution is still required: I appeal to all 1.5 million unvaccinated to get vaccinated and not wait for mandatory vaccination to take effect,” Karl Nehammer, the chancellor, said, according to the Associated Press. He told reporters that he received a lot of complaints about the order but rationalized it by saying it was an unavoidable health policy.

Austria reported 34,748 new cases on Friday, according to Global News. The country’s 7-day rate of infections stood at 2,381 per 100,000 inhabitants, about 10 times as high as the rate at the start of January.

The country of 8.9 million has had 1.8 million cases and 14,077 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University’s tracker.

The Trends Journal has reported extensively on vaccine mandates and how Vienna helped pave the way for other countries to mandate vaccinations.

We’ve pointed out that the country’s vaccine mandate takes effect on 1 February. After the rule takes effect, individuals in violation will face a 600 euros fine. These individuals can face fines of up to 3,600 euros each year. About 75 percent of the population is considered fully vaccinated.

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets in the country to voice their opposition to the COVID-19 mandates.

TRENDPOST: There are a number of reasons why so many are hesitant to get the COVID Jab. One is that they were rushed along under a project called “Operation Warp Speed.” 

Another is the fact that the disease is entirely survivable by most of the people it infects, and those who die from it are suffering from pre-existing comorbidities and/or the elderly, who are suffering from illnesses. 

TREND FORECAST: We maintain our forecast that the stricter the COVID War mandates that are imposed, the stronger and faster the formation of anti-vax, anti-establishment, anti-tax political movements. And when equity markets crash and the world sinks into deep economic decline, these movements will gain formidable strength.

But again, as socioeconomic conditions deteriorate and civil unrest and government protests escalate, as Gerald Celente notes, and as the cover of last week’s Trends Journal illustrates: “When all else fails, they take you to war.” 

And war is on the near horizon. While the global media and political focus is now on Russia and Ukraine, our sites are more closely aimed at the Middle East with Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, United Arab Emirates targeted as flashpoint nations.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

When The WinePress first reported on Austria’s tyranny in October of last year, announcing some of the strictest mandates in the world, squarely centered towards the unvaccinated, that would have effectively punished over 3 million people, supposedly. Based on these numbers in this report, taking for granted that their government is giving legitimate numbers, half of that 3 million was coerced into getting the death shot. The government never truly intended on enforcing these mandates, as there are simply too many people to mitigate.

But that being said, this is not a reprieval. I have been warning a lot lately that with government’s all over the world, primarily Europe, undoing some of their mandates, people are thinking the Covid narrative will dissipate. WRONG! This is a bait & switch, to give the masses glimmers of a false hope – to dangle the carrot some more and some more. As seen in this report, the Austrian government is still threatening mandatory jabs, so they still intend on getting people juiced up with the “scorpion sting.”

[29] A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. [30] He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Proverbs 16:29-30

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
