State party chairman Gerhard Pöttler calls on the federal government and the Salzburg state government to resign immediately. He announced that the MFG Salzburg would run “very successfully” in the state elections in March 2023, unless there are new elections beforehand.

The vaccination skeptics were able to record a success in their first vote on September 26, 2021 in Upper Austria with 6.23 percent of the vote and move into the state parliament. The regional organization was founded in Salzburg on September 29th.

Chairman sees “pandemic of the vaccinated”

Pöttler, who is also the federal finance officer of the MFG and is a self-employed health economist, spoke today of a “pandemic of the vaccinated”. He accused doctors who advise rapid booster vaccinations and contact restrictions or a renewed lockdown of “scaremongering” and criticized the state government in Salzburg. This has so far delivered a “disastrous performance”.

Pöttler doubted “that 50 percent of all Covid intensive care patients are actually unvaccinated”. In contrast to other vaccinations, with Corona, according to the regulation of the federal government, one person was only counted as vaccinated 14 days after the second bite. The state party chairman concluded that more than 90 percent of Covid intensive care patients had already been vaccinated. “Also, nobody can explain to me where the overload of the health system lies.”

“We test ourselves to death”

According to the dashboard, 25 of the 170 intensive care beds in Salzburg are currently occupied by corona patients, while around 100 beds remain in a good 50 other patients in intensive care units. Due to the lack of care, however, not all beds could be managed, pointed out Pöttler.

The corona hospitalization rate is also lower than last year, “why then such panic,” he said. “We test ourselves to death, that’s why we have such positive test results.” During flu times, the intensive care units were busy up to 95, many, but this was not an issue in politics.

For ÖVP “publicly dangerous”

There have already been several reactions to the MFG plan. The ÖVP calls the MFG party content a “bad carnival joke” and the group “dangerous to the public”.

In connection with MFG, Salzburg’s Greens speak of “absurd claims that are completely unfounded”.
