The Italian government continues to enact one of Europe’s harshest COVID-19 Passport Regimes.
Tyranny was ramped up another notch this week as the government ordered public and private companies to not pay unvaccinated workers.
In addition to zero salary, the government wants to fine anyone working without a COVID-19 Green Pass.
And zero exceptions are made for workers with natural immunity.
It’s a double-edged sword that seeks to completely ban the unvaccinated from the workforce.

The Italian government has passed a decree applying to both the private and public sector ordering companies to withhold pay from workers who refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine.https://t.co/0AwQW47viL

Summit News shared details:
The government is attempting to avoid potential legal action by directing companies not to fire the unvaccinated, but simply to not pay them while telling employees not to show up to work under threat of being fined if they do so.
“Instead, they should be considered to be on an unjustified absence and have their wages or salaries withheld,” writes Ken Macon.
“Those found to be working without a vaccine passport could be punished with fines of up to €1,500. Additionally, the government said it would not cater for the test costs for those who would prefer not to take the vaccine.”
Even those who have had the virus, recovered and developed anti-bodies will still have to get at least one dose of the vaccine, presumably just as a performative show of compliance.
Italy extended its vaccine passport scheme to schools and universities on September 1st.
Teachers were told they faced being fired if they didn’t take it and students were mandated to take it to attend classes.
The unvaccinated were also banned from using long distance public transport, meaning that holidays, travel for work and visiting relatives has become impossible for many.
Venues such as museums, stadiums, theaters gyms, and indoor seating spaces at bars and restaurants all require vaccine identification and businesses can be fined thousands of euros for not enforcing the rules.
The ‘green pass’ in Italy also tracks an individual’s location, once again emphasizing how it’s a digital ID card on steroids.
Italians who desire their medical freedom are shunned from essentially all aspects of society.
Similar to other European nations like France & Slovenia, another wave of protests swept across Italy this weekend.
ITALY protests again about vaccine passports and mandatory vaccines. Passports that will force the unvaccinated out of their lives and jobs.
