Show me one place where high uptake of the shots has ended the COVID crisis. How many people is sufficient? 70%? 90%? 130%?
Why are they mandating the shots in February instead of now? By the time widespread protection kicks in it'll be the end of March, most likely past the natural end of the crisis. If they're going to trash everyone's rights, at least make it effective. Are they braindead?

Yeah, like we didn't know that winter would bring in a surge of hospitalizations. How about promoting and giving away vitamin D supplements during autumn? That alone would have prevented thousands of hospitalizations and probably avoided the entire crisis. Why haven't they worked on healthcare infrastructure during the summer to help it deal with the coming surge? Why are indoor spaces still not ventilated? Why are they changing the rules every week? Do they have any actual idea of what the fuck they're doing?

Let's see what happens over the winter. > If they're going to trash everyone's rights The right to remain unvaccinated? Give me a break. > How about promoting and giving away vitamin D supplements during autumn? That alone would have prevented thousands of hospitalizations and probably avoided the entire crisis. Citation needed. Are you living in Austria? If yes, you should know that the current Covid crisis has been caused by irresponsible politicians and could have been avoided easily. Some of the things you list are not wrong, but they are far from the full picture.
- prohobo 5y agoGive you a break? Listen, I'm sorry but at this point all I'm going to say to you is: Nichts towarisch. Give me your watch.
- spacechild1 5y ago> Nichts towarisch What is this supposed to mean? :-D
- prohobo 5y agoIt's a reference to something a Russian soldier said to a civilian in Berlin after it fell to allied forces in WW2. Some Berliners, who stayed in Berlin throughout the war, thought they could show that they weren't fascist supporters by calling out "Towarisch!" (another word for comrade) to the Red Army who were entering the city. Instead of being greeted back, they were laughed at then robbed. Basically it means we are not friends, and you'll get no sympathy from me after this is all over.
- spacechild1 5y agoOk. Haven't heard this phrase before. Google didn't give me any results, either. > Basically it means we are not friends, and you'll get no sympathy from me after this is all over. Where did I ask for your sympathy? Have a nice day! Or in good old Viennese: Heast, schleich di.

- prohobo 5y agoDo you think they're timing it like that on purpose?
