Burgenland Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) is skeptical of the corona vaccines planned before the turn of the year. The federal government wants to have the first vaccinations between the holidays. Of course, they also want to sell this in the media: “We don’t participate in these vaccination programs. It’s about presentation again, it’s about public relations again,” Doskozil told reporters on Tuesday.
“What side effects are there? What does vaccination mean for allergy sufferers? Is the vaccine genetically modified or not? Can a vaccinated person be a carrier? Is the vaccine just for the course to be shortened? A federal government should answer these questions before a responsible citizen in Austria can expect: get vaccinated now. The federal government owes us that, “Doskozil said. Not all federal states can answer for themselves: “So we have a patchwork carpet from Burgenland to Vorarlberg with a different approach.”
More information, transparency and opinion formation
“I think it would have been better if the Federal Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor had waived the baby elephant visit and invested more in education, transparency and opinion-forming,” said the governor. If the vaccination actually takes place on December 27, then those who were vaccinated there should receive an answer to these questions. “Vaccinating someone without answering these questions is, in my opinion, a mockery of citizens.”
“We are in a pandemic where a vaccine develops relatively quickly, this has never happened before, and it gets approved in a very short time,” Doskozil said. His personal political opinion is: “If I were to take responsibility at the federal level, I would not allow an Austrian to be vaccinated until these questions have been answered.”
When asked if US President-elect Joe Biden would be vaccinated if he did not believe the vaccine was safe, Doskozil said that he assumed that Biden had been informed, that he knew and that I was judging myself to be vaccinated. in these conditions. “What applies to the president-elect of the United States must apply to all Austrians,” Doskozil said. He would have vaccinated himself “when these questions have been answered” and if the vaccine is necessary due to his previous infection. (apa)
