Or will the Austrian protests be about lockdown rather than mandatory vaccination?

For now probably lockdown, but if vaccines become mandatory expect the schyt
to connect with the fan.

But then I've been living with vaccinations all my life having been born in Nigeria where my father as a Medic in the Colonial Service had to vaccinate patients at the bush surgeries he was required to hold.No one said no back in the 50s to vaccinations. I remember the smallpox scare when I was 6 or so in London.No one said no then.Just yes please.

Anyway haven't we been accepting for years that if you travelled abroad to countries that insisted visitors be vaccinated you got vaccinated?

It's all well and good mandating vaccines in the healthcare industry but there is a chronic staff shortage and it was already at and over the 100K mark, homes are closing across the UK because they do not have the staffing to keep them open, homes around our area are having to keep the capacity itself much lower than the home itself can take because there is not enough staff, agency staff places are stretched and they can no longer plug the holes in staffing in various locations, end result, hospital beds are stuck, filled with the elderly who are unable to moved in to a care home.

Vaccine mandates in the healthcare industry are a counter productive measure because noone likes to be dictated to or told they have to do something against their will. In Scotland and Wales, where mandates are not in place the uptake on vaccination has been higher with those hesitant to be vaccinated, through encouragement and education of the vaccine. Our government has took the lazy option for England and it's going to take it's toll over time.

"A new analysis by WHO has concluded that the vast majority of cases of COVID-19 in Africa are not being detected. At time of the analysis, Oct 10, 2021, Africa had recorded around 8·4 million SARS-CoV-2 infections, and 217 000 deaths (the continent has since reported another 200 000 or so infections and 2000 deaths). WHO calculated that the true number of infections was seven times higher than the reported figure. The same analysis showed that two in three deaths from COVID-19 are not being registered in Africa."

Yep, the links then, to a dodgy site.

New restrictions (in Europe) dont seem to be going down as well this time around.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59363256

Fresh unrest has erupted in the Netherlands against new lockdown rules amid rising Covid-19 cases in Europe.

People hurled fireworks at police and set fire to bicycles in The Hague, one night after protests in Rotterdam turned violent and police opened fire.

At least three demonstrators are receiving hospital treatment for gunshot wounds, officers said. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.

Opened fire ? Seriously ?

Thousands of demonstrators also took to the streets in Austria, Croatia and Italy as anger mounted over new curbs.

Peoples patience with restrictions and lockdowns seems to have worn away.

Nothing to see here, just a warning among antivaxxers to wear boots to the protests because the city of Vienna "plans to vaccinate them through manhole covers".



Sounds a bit painful, being injected through the manhole…

(Best bit was "Kein Witz!! - "No Joke!!)

[nffc]

As if we didn't need another reason to find antivaxxers ludicrous, they come up with that.

[Blackshep]

Please stop counting everyone with questions and concerns as ludicrous as with everything there is a lunatic tiny minority that is absolutely not indicative of all those not wanting the vaccine.
