New German Chancellor Olaf Scholz supports mandatory vaccines by the end of February, along with stripping the unvaccinated of freedoms.
Leaders are pushing for a vote in Parliament which could occur as soon as the first week of the new year, reported Reuters. Politicians seem to be onboard.
“We’ve reached a point at which we must clearly say that we need de facto compulsory vaccination and a lockdown for the unvaccinated,” said German Parliament member Tilman Kuban.
That sentiment was echoed by German Health Minister Jens Spahn.
“Some would say this is cynical,” he said, “but probably by the end of this winter, pretty much everyone in Germany will be vaccinated, recovered, or dead.”
Germany is poised to follow Austria’s tyrannical vaccine policies, forcing injections, levying fines, and limiting freedoms for the unvaccinated. The CDC recently put Germany on Level 4 health notice, the highest warning for travelers. Officials said to avoid travel to Germany, “Because of the current situation in Germany, even fully Vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.”
The EU is pushing its 27 member states towards compulsory vaccinations. According to the Guardian, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyon said the EU must consider mandatory vaccination in response to the “highly contagious” omicron variant.
Health officials and elected leaders do not explain why they should force a vaccine, which they admit does not stop the spread and does not prevent infection, into the arms of people who don’t want it.
They just get more radical in punishing those who refuse to comply.
Greece is ready to start imposing monthly fines on the unvaccinated, reported The New York Post. If anyone is unvaccinated and 60 years or older, they will be fined 100 euros a month.
“The decision tortured me,” said Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, “but I feel a heavy responsibility in standing next to those most vulnerable, even if it might fleetingly displease them.”
