It is a very revealing interview that the new Chairman of the Tyrolean Medical Association, Stefan Kastner, gave to the Austrian Press Agency (APA).
In it, the 51-year-old surgeon from Innsbruck took a very clear position against tightening the existing Corona vaccination requirement. Kastner had been elected head of the Tyrolean Medical Chamber only a month ago.
In November, only three months before, all medical chambers had spoken out in favour of introducing the Corona vaccination obligation. However, shortly before the chamber election in Tyrol, Kastner’s predecessor, long-term president Artur Wechselberger, had demanded the suspension of the mandatory vaccination, which had already been decided at that time. The “Free Doctors Tyrol” were pressing him, and thanks to their anti-vaccination programme they won three of the 49 mandates at the first attempt.
In any case, Kastner sees no need, neither for mandatory vaccination, nor for quarantine rules. He pleads for a unemotional view of Corona, to treat it like a flu and to ” abandon crisis mode”. Something that critics of the black-green Corona policy have long been calling for.
But then the interview gets really exciting. Because Kastner notes two important facts: Despite all the understanding for vaccination in the wave of Omikron, one had to realise that “this will not get us out of trouble”.
Omicron was already the dominant Corona variant by the end of 2021, and the government reacted by pushing Corona vaccinations. Compulsory vaccination itself was then decided on 20 January.
This raises the crucial question: when did the doctors know that vaccination would “not bail them out”? This is important, especially since vaccination is an intervention in the very essence of the human being and – as has now also become apparent in the mainstream media – is accompanied by considerable, sometimes fatal side effects.
Moreover, Kastner exposes the entire Corona policy. As the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) reports, “he sometimes got the impression that at times it was also politically intended to keep the issue in the media in order to distract attention from other things”.
We note that the Corona policy, which focused on compulsory vaccination, was intended to cover up other things, i.e. it was a means to an end?
For what purpose? What was the purpose to “divert attention” from? From the corruption swamp of the black-green government? Once again – at the expense of the physical integrity and the liberties of Austrians? This raises the question of political value: What is the Austrian worth to the black-green government? Obviously not very much, if one willingly sacrifices one’s health and freedom in exchange for political peanuts.
