Video transcript:
| 00:01 | The bill is signed by your Mr. Anschober, the new Covid-19 Measures Act. | |
| 00:06 | The Austrian Chancellor does not have “the authority to issue guidelines” like Merkel | |
| 00:10 | to access the resource. Anschober is still the Minister of Health, | |
| 00:14 | who sends a series of laws for assessment to the plenum, | |
| 00:18 | where we can even order pre-trial detention for quarantine-breakers. | |
| 00:21 | I mean, are we still in our right minds? The great preacher of freedom | |
| 00:25 | who opposed preventive detention when it was applied | |
| 00:28 | to foreign criminals, but our OWN, just because they have a little cough, we lock up | |
| 00:31 | in the battery with the other chickens that cough, first, second. | |
| 00:34 | Mr. Doctor Bohrn Mena, you brought up Sweden, with your 6,000 euros, ahem 6,000 dead. | |
| 00:39 | Firstly, there are 5,800 deaths. when we count off our 800, 750 dead, | |
| 00:44 | they are ahead of us by 5,000 dead. Now I can only tell you the following: | |
| 00:47 | 84,000 people die in Austria every year. | |
| 00:50 | 231 people die every day with or without Corona in Austria. | |
| 00:55 | Only, so that you get for once a relation in numerical value, | |
| 00:58 | 1,176 people die by suicide in Austria, | |
| 01:02 | and in 2017 the flu brought us 4,436 dead. | |
| 01:07 | NO, Doctor Bohrn Mena, it comes down to your Cassandra numbers finally, | |
| 01:11 | to your fear and scare tactics: “The dead come down on us”, the zombies crawl out of their graves, | |
| 01:16 | and how we will all get infected. Mr. Doctor Bohrn Mena, I’ve let YOU finish talking… | |
| 01:19 | Is it about getting finally a relation to the numbers? And now I tell you this: | |
| 01:25 | NOT A DAY GOES BY, not a day goes by | |
| 01:28 | where the circle of excellent doctors in Austria doesn’t grow, | |
| 01:32 | whom you can no longer wave away as Covid idiots in this program. | |
| 01:36 | When one of the leading medical doctors of the Ordensklinikum Linz | |
| 01:39 | Mrs. Doctor Apfalter, stood up with the President | |
| 01:42 | of the Upper Austrian Medical Association and stated: | |
| 01:45 | “We haven’t got a SECOND WAVE, We have a test-tsunami. | |
| 01:48 | And finally stop the panic.” And the president of the Upper Austrian Medical Association | |
| 01:52 | as well as the IV-President of Styria, by the way, also no Covid idiot or tinfoil hat-wearer. | |
| 01:57 | When leading experts, medical doctors, virologists, scientists, | |
| 02:01 | captains of industry and commercial enterprises stand up and say: | |
| 02:04 | “Let’s finally learn to live with this, | |
| 02:07 | instead of destroying our economy, | |
| 02:10 | and taking away people’s freedom by instilling fear into them.” | |
| 02:13 | Then you can no longer say, as with Dr. Sprenger, Dr. Bhakdi or Haditsch, “By the way, | |
| 02:18 | these are just Covid idiots,” and then the majority of doctors will soon be on the side | |
| 02:22 | that says: “Friends, you are going astray here.” | |
| 02:25 | We also have the task as doctors | |
| 02:28 | to use holistic social thinking, and not how… | |
| 02:32 | to identify or follow the “green” Wuhan virus for the rest of our lives. | |
| 02:36 | In the meantime, more people in Austria kill themselves than die of Corona. | |
| 02:40 | 1,100 SUICIDES… |
One sane man , we need more like this
