Soon, vaccinated people will once again be allowed to dance the night away in clubs and flock to stadiums in their tens of thousands. It is nonsense for Corona skeptics to see Austria and other european countries on the way to a two-class society.
A small but loud group has been taking its protest to the streets for months. But apparently many people at home are also making fists in sacks. A significant part of the resentment has to do with the vaccination campaign – and with the question of what vaccinated people should be allowed to do. The so-called “Impfgegner” speak of “discrimination” and “stigmatization” of the unvaccinated.
Football games with 30,000 spectators possible
The warning of a two-class society is a grotesque distortion of reality. The Federal government made clear every now and then how the vaccination certificate will be used. There is no dictatorial force at work, but a collegial government that proceeds with a sense of proportion. Discos and clubs will be allowed to reopen onJuly 1, 2021 for people who can present a vaccination certificate or any of the the 3G rule.
Every person capable of making a judgment has the right to forego vaccination. If the pandemic situation continues to develop as positively as it has in the last few weeks, the consequences for those who refuse to take the vaccine will be bearable: travel abroad is likely to become complicated, and at home, clubs, concert arenas and football stadiums will remain difficult-to-access zones. But only for a few weeks or months.
The rules could be more drastic in a worst-case scenario: That is, if mutated virus variants drive up infection rates again, as is happening in the United Kingdom, for example. The vaccines used in Austria work well against the virus variants known so far, so there should no longer be a heavy burden on the healthcare system. However, this cannot be completely ruled out – especially if the vaccination rate remains below expectations and the colder season leads to more infections.
If this were to occur and new restrictions were needed in the hospitality or cultural sectors, generous exemptions for the vaccinated would be justified. The state must not curtail the basic rights of people who no longer pose a risk of infection to others. It would be a blatant restriction of economic freedom to spoil the business of club operators or landlords if this were no longer necessary from an epidemiological point of view. Nor is it in any way a case of discrimination against opponents of vaccination. All the more so because these people can also obtain a certificate without any problems – simply temporarily, with a negative test.
No pressure, but incentive
There is therefore no official pressure or even compulsion to have the vaccine injected into the arm. But there is an incentive: if you want to get your life back quickly, as it was normal until February 2020, you can achieve this with the vaccination. This should be an incentive for vaccination, especially for young adults. In this population group, many hesitate for fear of the side effects.
