Russian Oblast Considers Prohibiting the Unvaccinated From Buying Alcohol

Sverdlovsk Oblast, a province in central Russia, is considering whether to ban the unvaccinated from purchasing alcohol to prevent the spread of Covid in the region. If this was to become law, citizens of Sverdlovsk Oblast will need to provide a valid QR code showing that they have been jabbed (a system that has been put in place elsewhere in Russia) before being allowed to buy alcohol. The MailOnline has the story.

In a new move from local authorities, the nation stereotypically known to enjoy a tipple may have to prove they’ve had a shot of the vaccine before getting a shot of vodka. 

Artyom Bakhterev, the Regional Minister of the Agro-Industrial Complex, announced the update through its Telegram channels.

He said: “We know about the initiative of market participants to enter QR codes for buying alcohol.

“We are ready to discuss this measure with colleagues and experts at the next meeting of the operational headquarters.”

It was originally proposed by restaurateur Yevgeny Uryupin from Yekaterinburg, a city in the oblast, on his Instagram, Vesti.ru reported. 

He said that the initiative could encourage people to get vaccinated and motivate them to consume less alcohol. 

Since October 18th many areas in the country imposed restrictions to deal with a growing Covid crisis through a QR code system. 

In many places public venues are now only open to those who are vaccinated, have a negative coronavirus test or have recently recovered from Covid.

Only those who show a QR code proving they meet the criteria are allowed to enter.

Starts in Russia – soon finds its way to UK.

I think that at most recent G20 mtg [where the discrimination against the unvaxxed must have been very high up the agenda] they took the decision to make it all look a lot less lock-step, so that they could trial one draconian measure [to nudge the unvaxxed] in one country and another draconian measure in another country. And then those draconian measures could, over time, migrate to other countries.

The way that Austria proposes to lockdown only the unvaxxed and Russia now posits the possibility that the unvaxxed cannot purchase alcohol. There is no “science” to support any of this – it is pure coercion – everywhere.

I think that you are correct. Foot off the gas in terms of blanket restriction, introduce focussed restrictions and then promulgate and introduce them one by one. In other words the ‘bacon slicer’ approach!

What do you mean ‘prepare to’? Just had a meet-up meal with a couple who’ve been ‘ordered’ to isolate and do the fairy dance because of the vague, symptom-less ‘Test & Trace’ nonsense.

We offered a collective V-sign in response and carried on regardless..

Spot on. There are cleverly staged experiments of what appear to be specific local restrictions being undertaken in different countries, in order to fool people that there is some organic national/regional thinking but all of which arrive at the end goal which is the elimination of the unjabbed, by directly or indirectly (by forcing them into financial hardship and homelessness) to have jabs or rounding them up and puting them in concentration camps (what is about to happen in Australia) and the introduction of their freedom licences.

The Nazis never really went away they just carried on developing technology to enslave and punish their enemies.

The great pity is the (currently defined as) jabbed think it’s all about others, not realising they are walking off a cliff themselves.

Ok, and when everyone is jabbed and keeps being jabbed, what happens then? Because it seems that the answer is “nothing” (based on several billions of people who are already well past it).

Can you believe the hypocrisy of the Austrian government? Two days ago, on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, they officially opened a commemoration wall in Vienna to remember the Jewish people from Austria who were murdered by the Nazis. Then today the filthy chancellor, Count (I didn’t make that title up – can anyone think of a suitable variation?) Alexander Schallenberg says he wants a lockdown against the unvaccinated FROM MONDAY.

The German christmas markets will have separate, fenced off areas for drinking alcohol and only injected and recovered will be allowed. The rest of the market can be visited by tested people as well.
People not taking part in any of this farce, will not have the pleasure of spend their hard earned money on overpriced rubbish.
Although Hamburg is not charging fees for stall holders this year, as they did not have any markets last year and it helps the poor traders, they still have to pay for electricity, I guess that’s very expensive this year.

I don’t know, but the fact that the Jabmeister Bill Gates has admitted that the ‘vaccines’ are not good at stopping transmission and that new approaches might be needed suggests to me that he thinks that the shit is about to hit the fan big time when it comes to side effects and he is trying to extricate himself from this.

One of the most obvious signs that the people who claim to be motivated by fighting a dangerous pandemic are really utilizing a pretty harmless virus in order to get some traction for entirely unrelated (so-called) public health policies they already desired to implement ten years ago but couldn’t at that time.

Also in Scotland, BTW: A stated health goal of the Scottish government is to reduce consumption of alcoholic drinks by making them more expensive and less accessible. Enter the vaxx pass as requirement for entering venues selling drinks which accomplishes exactly that (and absolutely nothing wrt COVID).

A GP who has had even one jab is a risk to their patients and therefore needs to be removed.

I was talking to one of my neighbours today over the fence, he said better not come too close as he and his wife had covid which they caught at the village carnival at the weekend. Was he ill? no was he bothered? no he looked and sounded fit, well and bright as a button. Which does rather beg the question, what the hell is all this about? I guess some might say that fact that he had covid but was perfectly fit and well is an indication that the vaccines work. But they clearly only work to, possibly, protect the individual from serious disease, they clearly have no impact on transmission.
In which case there is no logical justification for any of the vaccine pass mandates. Either the powers that be are stupid and ascribing powers to the vaccines that they cannot deliver or this is all about something far worse and far more sinister than that?

South Africa did this and also banned the sale of cigarettes. The black market exploded as did the number of deaths caused by drinking illicit home-stilled alcohol.The government attempted to justify the restrictions by saying they would reduce domestic violence and therefore take the load off the health services. I am told the opposite happened. I think, but can’t be sure, that the bans have been rescinded now.
