Will it ever make a difference? From a bird's eye view it is easy to feel like the answer is "no" but a change in perspective can make all the difference. Join our team as we discuss these questions and more today on The Public Square®.

In November of 2021 the nation of Austria became the first country in Europe to mandate a physical lockdown of any person not obeying the government mandate of full COVID vaccination. Austria has thus divided humanity between the vaxxed and unvaxxed. Once again Austrians are only free to move and participate in society if they can show their government approved papers.

What is next for Austria, Europe and the rest of the once-free Western world? Do we have a responsibility to speak out on this matter, or is the debate too far gone in America to matter any longer? Tune in to The Public Square® to hear more.
