You really are retarded. See the blue text and underline in Hermit's post? That's a link. :fp:
I dont have blue text. But just as I thought fairy data for the whole country. So who is retarded? I am talking about the city of Salzburg.
If you click on the link in my post you'll discover that it mentions Salzburg's immunisation rate I quoted.

Another variation on incentivising vaccination/punishing the unvaccinated:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-12/ ... /100751708
Quebec, Canada's second most populous province, is planning to force adults refusing to get COVID-19 vaccinations to pay a "health contribution" in a move likely to spur a debate about individual rights and social responsibility.

Premier Francois Legault told reporters at a briefing on Tuesday that the proposal, the details of which were still being finalised, would not apply to those who could not get vaccinated for medical reasons.

Mr Legault said unvaccinated people put a financial burden on others and the provincial finance ministry was determining a "significant" amount that unvaccinated residents would be required to pay, adding that such an amount would not be less than $C100 ($110).

Those damn commies are playing dirty!

'Vaccine Appointments QUADRUPLE In Quebec After Government Announces Requirement For Liquor and Cannabis Stores'
Public health officials have grappled with the best strategies to convince their people to get vaccinated for Covid-19 for over a year of this pandemic, but Quebec’s government may have found the solution: cut off your citizens’ supply of booze and weed if they don’t get vaccinated.

Appointments for first shots of the vaccines quadrupled from 1,500 per day to 6,000 per day just a few hours after Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé announced that starting on Jan. 18, proof of vaccination would be required to enter Société des alcools du Québec and Société québécoise du cannabis stores, the state-run liquor stores and cannabis dispensaries.

Unvaccinated Quebecers will have to pay a health tax, Legault says

Unvaccinated Quebecers without medical exemptions will have to pay if they don't get 1st dose soon

Naw. The decision to cut off the supply of booze and weed to those who don’t get vaccinated for other than medical reasons is to be applauded.

With all due respect, I'm in total disagreement, a boozed out antivaxxer is much easier to take to a vax center than when it's sober.
Plus, sorry, but I deem such tactics totally inacceptable. if you want to force people to get the vax, you make it mandatory, period. and you make it a penal offence not to have it.

UK govt gave local authorities in England the go-ahead to pay the homeless to get the jab on 20 Dec last. Released the money yesterday: £28 million.

The extremely popular Premier of Western Australia, whose border closures have meant his state has virtually no covid, has doubled down on his attack on the unvaccinated:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-13/ ... /100754194
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will become mandatory to access a wide range of venues and events as of January 31, WA Premier Mark McGowan has announced.

Mr McGowan said vaccination would be required for visitors at hospitals, aged care facilities and hospitality venues, including restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars, nightclubs and where dine-in fast food is available.

The requirement will also extend to indoor entertainment venues, bottle shops, the entire Crown Perth casino complex, gyms and fitness centres, music festivals, amusement parks and the zoo.

Mr McGowan said proof of double-dose vaccination would be required for those aged 16 and older.

“We have seen the disaster in New South Wales when they removed proof of vaccination requirements in mid-December. We have learned from their mistakes and are determined not to repeat them."

Mr McGowan said life would become very difficult for the unvaccinated from January 31.

"No pubs, no bottle shops, no gym, no yoga classes, no gigs, no dancefloors, no hospital or aged care visits.

"If you choose to remain unvaccinated, you are choosing to put yourself at risk, you are choosing to put the people around you at risk, and you are choosing to increase the burden on our health staff."
He won a recent election by a massive margin, on the basic policy of protecting his state from the diseased hordes from the east...
