Many discussions focus on the conditions under which differentiation is made between the immunized and the non-immunized, so that the restrictions do not apply to those who have already done the booster and have developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.
“The people in charge of the Government in charge of fighting this epidemic are not able to understand one thing: delimitation of a group for protection it does not necessarily mean discrimination. Moreover, this is the solution for getting back to normal, step by step. Unfortunately, normalcy is not on the government’s agenda, it is not understood that people, once vaccinated, must be allowed to go to the theater, to work, and to the streets and stadiums. Because this is the reason to be vaccinated and to protect yourself and to prevent the transmission of the pathogen “, said for Ziare.com doctor Sorin Paveliu, primary doctor of Internal Medicine and expert in health policies.
About returning to normal
According to him, non-discrimination is a universally accepted principle, but it also supports some nuances when this division into categories is dictated by public health reasons and is done by law, in the conditions of a democratic society.
“It is an essential statement that is not understood and embraced by almost anyone in the world administration publishes from us and, in fact, must leave here to return to normal. In fact, the debates in other European Union countries are notorious, from travel restrictions (already legislated) to finding other tasks for Vatican staff who refused vaccination and examples abound, “the specialist continued.
Separation into categories can only be done by law
Separation into categories, in this case, Depending on whether or not you are vaccinated, it must be done for public health reasons to ensure the protection of those susceptible to the disease and to transmit the infection to other people.
“Shy, taking great care not to be accused, even Prime Minister Citu mentioned the establishment of a working group to analyze the possibility of accepting the entry into the community (concerts, or services offered by HoReCa) of people who are vaccinated and those who From my point of view, not considering that this delimitation is possible, the administration neither gives an emergency ordinance, nor does anyone in Parliament care to make a legislative proposal independent of the Government, although it it has the main role, especially because it has the means to expedite the clarification of this problem “, the doctor Sorin Paveliu also explained.
Increasingly stringent restrictions
According to him, “instead of adopting measures that will put us on the road to normalcy, the Government is concerned and adopts much easier measures, imposing increasingly restrictive restrictions, without taking into account that they can not be However, the pandemic is likely to last two to three years, and even under the optimistic assumption that the population’s immunity will be achieved by winter through vaccination, a new cycle of mass vaccination will no longer be feasible, assuming costs that are now If the population does not become immunized, we will take it from the beginning because the virus will not disappear. We must not forget that the largest number of people vaccinated in a year in Romania in the anteCovid 19 era was of 3.5 million flu vaccinated citizens! “, continued the health policy expert.
“So we have to be prepared from now on, to strive for normalcy and to see how we can function in the conditions in which this threat of SarsCov2 or any other virus that will threaten our existence exists. Excessive restrictions represent the price paid by the population. for the flight of responsibility of the Government, frightened by the political costs of some active measures “, pointed out the doctor Sorin Paveliu.
Epidemiologist: “It’s hard to control”
On the other hand, the vice-president of the Romanian Society, the lecturer Emilian Popovici, explained for Ziare.com that even in Israel, a state considered a standard in the fight against coronavirus given the fact that it vaccinated massively, no differences were made from the beginning. vaccinated and unvaccinated.
“They started to facilitate the measures for those vaccinated only when they exceeded the threshold of 50% of immunized people. In the present situation, in Romania, where we are still at a certain distance from this threshold, we could not differentiate. , if we say that those who are vaccinated should not wear a mask, we would find that exactly those who are anti-mask would no longer use this protective measure.The problem is that it is impossible to control such situations, so things are done with “And the example of Israel is the only one we have,” the epidemiologist said.
At present, in Romania there are 973,671 people vaccinated against the new coronavirus with both doses, according to the latest data provided by the National Center for Coordination of Activities on Vaccination against COVID-19 (CNCAV).
