The briefing of the Minister of Health was followed by a sharp reaction from his predecessor, Prof. Kostadin AngelovKostadin Angelov was born on June 7, 1977. He graduated from the Medical University in Sofia in 2004.. According to him, Dr. Stoycho KatsarovDr. Stoycho Katsarov was born in 1964 in the town of Dupnitsa. He graduated in medicine in 1990. There is has told three lies about the pandemic. In addition, by changing the vaccination plan, we risk a drastic reduction in the rate of immunization against COVID-19.
After the briefing of the Minister of Health, I understood the following:
1. His desire to intensify the vaccination process, but the order he signed contradicts the ambition expressed in front of the microphone. The order says green vaccination corridors are eliminated from Monday to Thursday. I wonder why, since we have enough vaccines.
2. The Minister of Health told three lies.
– Lie 1: He was told that personal protective equipment and disinfectants were obtained in sectional commissions after the election.
The facts are: All personal protective equipment and disinfectants were delivered to the relevant election administrations more than two weeks before election day (March 16, 17, 18).
– Lie 2: All European countries had launched their vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 with the elderly over 65 years of age.
The facts are: Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Greece, Romania, Latvia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, and Russia have launched their vaccination campaigns with priority immunization of medical staff – doctors, honey. nurses, orderlies.
– Lie 3: 20% of those vaccinated in our country are over 60 years old.
The facts are: The vaccinated Bulgarian citizens over the age of 60 are currently 543,897 people! In simple words, half of people who have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine are over 60 years of age.
My prognosis: By changing the vaccination plan, we risk a drastic reduction in the rate of immunization against COVID-19. I hope I’m wrong, says Prof. Angelov.
