The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced that vaccines will be mandatory for those aged 60 years-old and over, with the unjabbed facing fines of up to €100 per month. Mitosotakis commented that this was the “price to pay for health” and labelled the new law, which will come into force early next year, as “protection, not punishment”. RT has more.
Covid vaccines will be mandatory for individuals aged 60 years-old and over, as Greece seeks to protect its health service from a potential resurgence of the virus throughout the coming winter months.
The Prime Minister’s announcement marks the first measure in the E.U. to target a specific age group with mandatory vaccination, as officials seek to protect at-risk individuals and emergency workers from Covid.
Defending the decision, Mitsotakis stated that it was “the price to pay for health” and that it was important to make the Covid jab mandatory to protect elderly Greeks who have not yet been vaccinated.
“We are focusing our efforts on protection of our fellow citizens and for this reason their vaccination will be mandatory from now on,” Mitsotakis stated.
Over 60s who have failed to book their appointment for a first Covid vaccine dose by January 16 will face a monthly recurring fine of €100. Mitsotakis called the penalty a matter of “protection, not punishment“.
By imposing a Covid vaccine mandate, Greece is hoping that it will be able to avoid a lockdown, instead relying on jabs, tests, and social distancing to protect citizens from the virus, which has resulted in around 18,000 fatalities in the country.
Criticizing the Government’s actions, Syriza, the country’s main opposition party, condemned Mitsotakis for taking a step that “hasn’t happened anywhere” in Europe. While it’s not clear how the fine will be enforced, critics highlighted that €100 is a significant proportion of the country’s monthly €730 pension.
Although Greece’s measure is being touted as the first inoculation mandate imposed on a specific age group, it follows the French Government urging all adults to get their booster shots. While France has not made the jabs mandatory, individuals who fail to get their booster will be unable to use their health pass, thereby denying them access to indoor venues such as restaurants and bars.

Greece has one of the highest death toll in hospitals from Covid, due to understaffed clinics and a perennial lack of specialised ICU staff, especially after having fired all unvaccinated healthcare personnel. It is shocking that the Gov prefers to let people die instead of allowing the unvax doctors and nurses . There is no primary care or early pharmaceutical therapy . People go to hospital too late and the chance of surviving after intubation is likely less than 50%. The Gov is making the unvax a scapegoat for the health system failures, and is refusing to address the fact that the vaccinated have been spreading the virus and make up 20% of the ICU entries. The Gov has crushed dissent and criminalised any sceptical vax opinions . People are being prosecuted for daring questioning the Vax. Fascism well enthroned.
Fascism returns to Greece!!
This is not about health it’s about the impostion of a global tyranny on the back of a manufactured medical emergency .. it’s about global Chinafication

NO to digital medical passes .. Do NOT Consent .. Do NOT comply
It’s as if all these countries are in some sort of competition to see who can come up with the most effective method of coercion. Do you think there’ll be a prize for the best one?
Why are all Governments so desperate to get everyone jabbed even though they know they do not prevent anyone from catching or passing on a benign, for most, virus? What is really behind it?
Personally, I think it is the Great Reset that will result in global Socialism which is why the Left is saying nothing at all about human rights being trampled on. We are seeing the deliberate collapse of Capitalism, John McDonnell’s stated aim. In twenty years we won’t be able to recognise the world we live in.
If I’d accepted the jabs and then had my Vax pass invalidated until I took the booster, I’d be feeling like the girlfriend who was shagged and then dumped.
I see no reason so far to regret my Vax virginity.
I hope I could maintain my stance were I a Greek, but this action by Greece is a filthy, dishonourable measure and I hope their government falls big-style.
How are they going to get the fines? From the pensions? OK, but, how are they going to get the money from me, an ex-pat………
“Unvaccinated Elderly to Face Monthly €100 Fine in Greece”
Aside from the utterly disgusting decision by the Greeks to do this, I would like to ask the writer, Luke Perry, since when were people of 60 – you know those with several years of working life left – “elderly”?
Is is he not saying that €100 per month is the price to pay to keep your good health?!
Isn’t blackmail a criminal offence in Greece as elsewhere?
It’s more like a protection racket.
SWISS REFERENDUM.. well.. well.. who’d have thought it eh! Massive influx of votes for the Slave Pass in the last 5 minutes of voting..
Dominion?
None of this oppression by multiple governments takes any account of the damage being done to the mental health of their citizens. It is beyond evil. This might not be on the same scale as the abuse of Stalin, Hitler, Mao and their ilk, but it is the same wicked mindset.
What kills a civilisation is lack of confidence. Globalists are interested only in power, money and control. They are impervious to the spiritual and cultural values that are the motor of any civilisation. Their insistence on trying to psych everyone into behaving as though they are in a prison hospital is going to wreck Western civilisation; and that is even before you start giving any prudential consideration to the possible long-term effects of the “vaccines”.
That’s the intention, and that’s why they are behaving the way they are. They don’t give a f*ck about spirituality..
Of course it’s the intention. The time is long gone when we might have thought they were just blundering, greedy, self-serving fools.
See my lengthy post above. I’m beginning to think that damaging mental health is the primary aim.
Damaging mental health is a primary aim. The vicious treatment of our school children is intended to produce a generation of mindless, gibbering wrecks who will provide the elite with their slave population post 2030 at the latest.
The rest of us are just scrap.
Zappa knew.
Doesn’t take any account of the damage? Surely it’s deliberate manipulation meant to achieve exactly this kind of damage. We must stop giving them credit for incompetence.
Astonishing. Crazed. So utterly dark. Jesus!
Has the world gone mad? This is one of the most outrageous things I’ve heard so far. In any case, 60, elderly? Get lost! 60 is the new 40. We run, we hike, we go cold water swimming, we dance, we sing, we protest.
That’s exactly why you must be culled.. you’re producing too much CO2..
Wonder how they’ll do that in Greece, a lot of them don’t even pay their taxes, admin is a bit slack.
Very worrying if substantiated. There is evidence to show that CJD has increased in rate since the vax campaign.
Why vax children – prion disease develops after a lag, so illnesses will not be evident yet.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/proof-covid-vaccines-cause-prion
Back in May 2021 when Professor Byram Bridle was disclosing the FOIA request on the Pfizer vaccine bio-distribution data he mentioned that the spike protein was associated with Lewy body formation which is linked to prion diseases. He expressed concern that the vaccines could cause prion diseases like dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
Comment from the above link.
VAERS is the system set up as an early warning system. It is not diagnostic by nature. What Steve shows is clear evidence that compared to other vaccines in a 30 year history, in less than a year of the Covid19 vaccine program, there is an explosion of prion type diseases. He supports this with studies which postulated this outcome. Prion diseases are degenerative by nature. The fact that VAERS is detecting acute signs less than a year in is alarming. This cannot be written off as no concern because of the few cases seen thus far. The question now should be how many people will develop prion diseases 2, 5, and 10 years from now.
And will any of us be around to count?
Target date 2030.
“…prion disease develops after a lag.”
Exactly. A marvellous design feature which means apportioning blame to the “vaccines” will not be easy.
2019: we’re going to fine all elderly people £100 a month if they don’t get the flu jab. Can you imagine?
Anybody should certainly be able to imagine now though shouldn’t they. We are heading into a very dark tunnel, ushered by a miniscule cabal of parasitic psychopaths.
Its now we need to find the steel within us to slay this dragon once and for all. If we don’t our children / grandchildren will inherit a world not fit for a worm, and have to live their lives on their bellies, begging..

Johnson really is a moron.
He locks down to appease the left who moan at him for not going harder, sooner and longer, like some kind of weird authoritarian fetish and the right hate him for imposing the restrictions. Literally who will vote for this pleb at this rate!?
Vote.. are you mad!
So we exchange one conniving POS for another. No, anybody still clinging on to the thought that voting will change anything needs to very quickly wake up and smell some very strong coffee..
Whatever democracy anybody thought was still around left the building ages ago..
Indeed. Summed up very tidyly.
Chances are that the reimposed face masking rules are mainly about appeasing the unions. But that’s more-or-less an aside. The evil bit is that this is explicitly brought in because so-called scientists are ignorant of something: We don’t know if such-and-such a thing will be as harmless as one would reasonably expect, considering its predecessors and news from southern Africa about this, hence, restrictions must be introduced.
This boils down to introducing restrictions because the future is unknown and could thus be dangerous, eg, a dangerous new virus could appear next week, hence, we must lock down now! The future is always unknown. If this is sufficient to incarcerate the population (at worst) it must always remain incarcerated because of it.
You sound as though you believe Johnson is a bumbling fool and not a useful idiot.
Surely the continuation of the ‘Coronavirus Act’ means that elections as we knew them can be set aside, so we’ll never have the opportunity to ‘vote’ again, let alone elect a sensible leader.

MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

A quite incredible decision, but nothing should surprise us by now.
Just take a look at some of the replies on this Greece Twitter thread, not all granted, but plenty who think this is a good thing. This is what we’re up against.. some of these wretched people cannot see further than the end of their noses..

There’s lots of crazies about, don’t discount the 150k Chinese bots that pipe up every time someone suggests letting it rip or HI.
Surely that’s what we’re meant to think – that there are hundreds of thousands of twatterers all clamouring for blood. When in fact it could just be another method of manipulation.
This has to be illegal under human rights legislation. Why on Earth doesn’t someone challenge it in court?
Because the judicial system is no more.. there’s always been corrupt judges, they’re in the majority now though..
The fact is that these vaccines have the potential to seriously harm you and even possibly kill you.
How can a government mandate compulsory vaccinations (or coerce you via heavy fines and even prison) when the possibility of serious harm and even death is a very real actuality with every jab you have?
Its like the government mandating that once a month you must place a single round in a revolver – spin the cyclinder – place the gun against your head and pull the trigger. You may be lucky and the loaded chamber will not line up with the barrel but with every spin of the cyclinder sooner or later the gun will fire.
With every jab the chances of you eventually suffering some severe or even fatal side-effect becomes more likely. But failure to ‘spin the chamber and pull the trigger‘ when the government tells you to will see you get a lengthy spell in jail and/or a hefty fine.
.
Insane.
Because this is not about health it never was.. its a genocide.. decided on by the globalists, and the sooner people wake up to that fact the better..
Yes, if your intent is to get injected with 50000 vaccinations, the gun might fire once. But you would have to live 25000 years to experience it, on average (only 12500 years with quarterly boosters). Still better than playing lottery, though.
It’s not supposed to make sense. It’s not about illness, and that ”very real actuality” is exactly what they want.
When will these toads get their judgement day? Its all one way.
It’s tyranny, but it’s for your own good, honest.
Daleks: “Vaccinate! VACCINATE!! VACCCINNNAAATE!!”
It’s a shame in the context all the Drs WHO are on the side of the Daleks….
€100 versus an unquantifiable but unquestionable risk of unnecessary sudden death or permanent injury or illness. I’d take the €100.
State mandated ASSAULT.
Seriously everyone, what do we do if vaccines are made mandatory here? I think I can argue a medical reason, being on the autistic spectrum being one. I live alone. I have to go to some shops and I have regular medical appointments for example.
Do any of you live in or near Chesterfield?
Just say NO.
Start going to your nearest Stand in the Park and build up a support network of likeminded people, you’ll also hopefully be able to find out which local shops etc are run by ‘awake’ people and start using them so they get to know you.
If you’ve got any storage space start buying extra items and build up stock.
I’d say we club together and hire a lawyer to fight it, e.g. Law or Fiction or Francis Hoar.
Also there may be ways to remove part of it and to combat the ill-effects of what remains. Malcolm Kendrick’s blog is useful, because I think he felt he was coerced into taking it to remain a GP. He made it clear between the lines that most other people should do differently.
