When the vaccinations in old people’s homes started a year ago, a little later some mayors came under massive criticism as “pushing ahead” because they had been given remaining vaccine doses.
One of them is the mayor of Eberschwangen Josef Bleckenwegner (SP), against whom even the judiciary was investigating, but the proceedings were finally closed. In view of the stagnating willingness to vaccinate in the population, the discussion at that time was, in retrospect, “obscure”, says the Eberschwanger local chief in the OÖN conversation. The Innviertel community had even been reported in British newspapers.
“It was nonsense how the authorities treated us back then. That was probably a political issue,” said Bleckenwegner. The pre-pushing discussion had already “opened great rifts” in the community a year ago. In Eberschwang, the vaccination rate is just over 60 percent. “For better or for worse, you will not be able to avoid compulsory vaccination.”
