After Burgenland’s governor, Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ), the Salzburg SPÖ boss David Egger is also putting the brakes on the compulsory corona vaccination. On Monday, Egger spoke out in favor of postponing the introductory date because a few questions still had to be clarified.
Egger wrote in a broadcast: “In the Federal Council I will refuse to give my consent to a craft vaccination botch.”
Egger: “A disaster for the federal government”
Egger spoke of a “disaster” for the federal government, which “has now apparently screwed up the polarizing compulsory vaccination and wants to implement a law by February that is technically not feasible by then and otherwise raises big question marks”. So the question to be answered is whether it is reasonable to expect a vaccine to be compulsory if it only offers good protection against the omicron variant after three doses. In addition, it must be clarified whether a mandatory vaccination can be implemented without “breaking up” the administrative apparatus, and from when the technical implementation will be possible at all.
In view of the “Omikron wall”, the date for mandatory vaccination should therefore be postponed, says Egger. In addition, Egger calls on the government to think about a bonus for booster vaccinations: “Before we go to the federal government for vaccination-critical and fearful people, it would now make more sense to get all those willing to vaccinate to get boosters.” refuse, at least a booster bonus should be considered ”.
At the end of December, Salzburg’s Chamber of Labor President Peter Eder had already criticized the mandatory vaccination, more on this in According to the AK “Majority against mandatory vaccination” (29.12.2022).
Criticism also from Tyrolean SPÖ boss Dornauer
The Tyrolean SPÖ boss Georg Dornauer was mostly in the same horn and demanded not only to wait for the end of the omicron wave, but also to sit down with the experts and social partners “based on the comments received in the assessment process”. “If Nehammer and Mückstein would do that, both would be well advised and the heated atmosphere would finally warm up,” argued the Tyrolean SPÖ boss.
Punishments are “never good” for encroaching on personal freedom, but a law without illegal bring nothing either. In any case, a toothless regulation is currently in the making. You finally have to proceed “data and fact-based”, demanded Dornauer.
