  > The bill imposes fines of up to 600 euros ($680) on holdouts once checks begin on March 15. Those who challenge that initial fine unsuccessfully face a maximum fine of 3,600 euros.

  It will be interesting to see how many politicians worldwide pushing these 'taxes' on the unvaccinated survive the next election cycle.

  > "Making COVID-19 vaccination compulsory is an emergency exit... out of the constant restrictions on our personal and fundamental rights" - leader of the opposition Social Democrats, Pamela Rendi-Wagner, who is also a doctor. Nice paradox. "We're taking away your rights in order to return your rights." 20-something healthy people don't need a mandated emergency exit. Mandates involving society-level blunt instruments including "solidarity vaccination", is not smart policy.
