Austrian Fiasco

A few days into the Austrian lockdown of the unvaccinated, and we can already conclude that the measure is a fiasco. Their spike in cases has continued unabated. There's been no flattening of the curve.

As predicted back in July, the vaccinated have become a highway for virus transmission. The homogeneity and general weakness introduced into the population through vaccination has opened up for super-spreader events that otherwise would have been impossible. Austrian politicians are locking down the wrong segment of their population.

This insight requires no special knowledge. It's well known that genetically homogenous populations are more prone to disease than those that are genetically diverse. It's also well known that good general health is key to fighting diseases. Weakening people and making them more genetically homogenous through vaccination is therefore a recipe for disaster. Weeding out healthy and diverse individuals by isolating them only serves to exasperate the severity of the situation.

Yet, politicians in Germany and England are eager to implement measures similar to those that are currently failing in Austria, and this is necessarily done in the full knowledge that such measures are counterproductive. The politicians do what they always do when confronted with the prospect of criminal charges due to massive overreach. They double down on their evil policies.
