Skepticism in Europe
In February, the European Agency for Communicable Disease Control (ECDC) and the research group RECOVER published a report which was about the public’s view of corona vaccination in Sweden, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Germany and France.
The figures showed that less than half of the respondents in these countries considered vaccination safe.
