Vaccination drive
The vaccination drive in Hungary is progressing twice as fast as in other EU member states which proves that the scheme has been organised well, the state secretary heading the central team in charge of the vaccination programme said in daily Magyar Nemzet’s Monday edition.
So far over 3.25 million Hungarians have received at least their first jab and 1.4 million have been fully inoculated, István György told the paper. Fully 2 million of those inoculated received a Western vaccine and the rest a Chinese or a Russian one, he said.
“The Eastern vaccines are effective and safe, Hungarian authorities are running control tests on each consignment,” György said.
He said involving GPs in the vaccination drive and assigning buses to reach people in rural areas as mobile labs proved to be the right decision.
Outdoor catering to restart when 3.5 m vaccinated
Bars and restaurants could again start serving customers outdoors when the number of Hungarians inoculated against Covid-19 reaches 3.5 million, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said.
Orbán also announced that while kindergartens would reopen and the lower grades of primary schools would return to their classrooms on April 19, 5-8 graders would stay at home and go on with their online classes until May 10.
The government has decided “to proceed gradually and carefully,” Orbán said, and asked parents for “patience and understanding”.
Further rules include:
- The curfew will last from 10 pm until 5 am;
- Shops will be able to stay open longer, until 9:30 pm;
- The shops (clothes shops, shops in malls, furniture shops) that have been closed can open, but there is now a square-metre basis. 1 costumer/10 square metres/shop;
- Temporary security measures involving several services will no longer be in effect, meaning that hairdressers and beauty salons and further services can also open – however, under different rules;
- Nevertheless, businesses of the hospitality sector still cannot open; only the employees can be present at the workplace. Customers can only enter the restaurant to pick up their order. Hotels will remain closed.
The current rules are applying to mask-wearing, gatherings, the hospitality sector, recreation centres, schools and the Schengen borders will remain in effect.

Medical Statistical Data.
Deaths – 25787.
Active Cases – 266823.
Life Support & Serious Cases – 925.
Population of 9.6 million which mathematically calculated indicates that 1 citizen of Hungary in every 395 citizens – at present are losing their Life – to this novel coronavirus.
Mathematically – this ratio has to Worsen.
Government – Economics over Humanity is their Agenda – open up – get the economy rolling again- keep people happy – and other ideas and philosophies that have BIG question marks.
National Elections May 2022 – the spin and propaganda machines are gaining rapid speed that is BLATANT – in explanations and decisions being reached and dangerously decided, by this Government – that continues to – IGNORE – the advice of experts in Scientific Medicine.
This ADVICE to Hungary remains – the safest humanitarian decision to take – and that is to have 80% of Hungary’s population Immunized.
Factual figures like History – do not LIE.
TO PROFESSOR “MAD DOG” CARITAS :
1.) The European Commission ‘stuffed up’ BIG TIME with ordering so-called ‘Western Vaccines’ for E.U. countries – PROVEN FACT.
2.) The European Commission has continually tried to HIDE / ‘DOWN-PLAY’ fact # 1 from E.U. citizens but failed – PROVEN FACT.
3.) The European Commission is ‘dragging its feet’ with approval of the Russian SPUTNIK vaccine – PROVEN FACT.
4.) The European Commission is ‘donating’ several hundred thousand doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to non-E.U. Balkan countries for POLITICAL PURPOSES – PROVEN FACT.
5.) Over 34% of Hungary’s population has received FIRST DOSES of vaccines – scientifically-proven as effective – to its population (almost double the E.U. average) IN SPITE of facts # 1 – 4 above.
6.) The pandemic sweeping Europe is affecting ALL countries – including Hungary – but very few governments have handled it as well as the DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED Government of Viktor Orban – PROVEN FACT.
7.) To date, over 4.3 million Hungarians have REGISTERED for vaccination against this coronavirus – PROVEN FACT.
8.) So far, over 75% of all Hungarians who REGISTERED for vaccination have received AT LEAST one dose of a vaccine – PROVEN FACT.
9.) If another 3 million Hungarians decide to REGISTER then they too will be vaccinated but because Hungary is a DEMOCRACY those other 3 million individuals must make such a decision for themselves –
OBVIOUS FACT.
10.) Until such a time as fact 9.) eventuates, the Hungarian Government will have to act in the interests of most Hungarians – not some old fool suffering from senile dementia who wants to create uncertainty and panic amongst Hungary’s citizens.
GET YOUR FACTS / PRIORITIES RIGHT, ‘PROFESSOR’ AND STOP LECTURING EVERYONE BASED ON YOUR FLAWED ‘LOGIC’ / MIS-USE OF ‘INFORMATION’.
