‘Don’t politicize the fight against corona’ | What you say

“Sputnik symbolized the enemy,” Hoogland writes of the past, and now the Hungarians are “crystal-clear ordering two million doses of Sputnik V”.

Hoogland’s erroneous view may show why the Netherlands, with a vaccination rate per capita that is half the Hungarian percentage, unfortunately lags behind all EU countries in terms of vaccinations per capita, with the exception of Latvia and Bulgaria .

If the Netherlands wants to endanger the lives of the Dutch by politicizing access to Covid-19 vaccines, they are free to do so, but Hungary gives priority to saving the lives of Hungarian citizens and slowing the spread of it. virus.

Our neighbor, Serbia, was not delayed by the joint EU vaccine procurement program and did not have to wait for the green light from the European Medicines Agency to start mass vaccination. Serbia is one of the leaders in the global vaccination race. How did Serbia get there? Using the Russian Sputnik V-jab.

Hungary’s move is not without judgment. Our public health authority has thoroughly tested the Russian vaccine and approved its use.
