Timcast IRL #432 - Austria Hiring COVID Inspectors To Hunt Down Unvaccinated People w/Chris Karr
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 432 aired on December 22, 2021, with Tim Pool hosting alongside Chris Carr, the executive editor at TimCast.com, and Luke. The episode opened with a discussion about Austria's new law requiring COVID-19 vaccination and the hiring of inspectors to hunt down unvaccinated individuals. Tim took credit for predicting hard lockdowns as the natural evolution of pandemic restrictions. The conversation shifted to the expansion of vaccine mandates in American cities like Boston and Chicago, contrasting with Republican-led states such as Texas, Florida, and South Dakota that rejected such measures. The hosts discussed the Omicron variant appearing relatively mild, which complicated the Democrats' COVID narrative. Tim highlighted Joe Biden's announcement of distributing 500 million at-home COVID tests and referenced an Axios story suggesting Americans had grown weary of COVID fear. The show covered Jesse Waters' speech at the Turning Point USA event that drew criticism from Dr. Fauci, along with Nancy Pelosi presenting the Build Back Better bill where someone yelled 'Let's go, Brandon' in protest. Tim promoted their newly launched book 'Tales from the Inverted World,' discussed their upcoming Civil War ghost stories volume, and mentioned that TimCast was undergoing evaluation by NewsGuard. The episode featured a Fauci t-shirt promotion depicting him as Emperor Palpatine zapping monkeys and puppies with the caption 'I am science.'

Notable Quotes
“I said a little while ago, I think hard lockdowns are coming. And this seems like the natural evolution of it. First, they lock everybody down. Everyone says this sucks. Then they say, OK, now we're going to lock it all down unless everyone does as they're told and gets the vaccine.”
