Hungary is deep in the fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic, with “the hard part still to come”, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in his regular weekly interview on public radio on Friday, adding that “the only thing that ensures protection is the jab”.
Those that are not inoculated are in “mortal danger”, Orbán said, but warned that the unvaccinated “pose a danger not only to themselves but to all others”. He warned that restrictive measures could not provide protection against the virus, just slow down its spread among the population.
Four to six months after the second shot immunisation will decrease,
and it is justified to take a booster, he said. “If everybody were inoculated, there would be no fourth wave or it would be just a small one,” the prime minister said. With everybody inoculated there will be no fifth wave, he said, adding that “we cannot avoid that everybody should be inoculated at the end of the day”.
Altogether 135 patients died of a Covid-related illness during the past 24 hours, while 11,289 new coronavirus infections were registered, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Friday. So far 6,017,807 people have received a first jab, while 5,788,775 have been fully vaccinated. Fully 1,765,000 Hungarians have received a booster jab.
The number of active infections stands at 128,124, while hospitals are treating 6,122 Covid-19 patients, 613 of whom need respiratory assistance. Since the first outbreak, 998,488 infections have been registered, while
the number of fatalities has risen to 32,780.
Fully 837,584 people have made a recovery. There are 59,177 people in official quarantine, while the number of tests taken stands at 8,006,581.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that “the only thing that ensures protection is the jab”.
Only fools and criminals argue with that.
Ha Ha Ha … Orbán said so … the same Orbán who was a “young leaders” student of Klaus Schwab at the WEF … the same WEF who are presently telling you – “You will OWN NOTHING and you will be HAPPY” – “the 4th IR will not change the environment – it will change YOU”
Whilst we at it … if we keeping doing what we have always done how can we expect any different a result as we have always had.
Masks only give you bacterial pneumonia.
Lockdowns only create broken economies … brings in the above mentioned quotes to mind.
Genetic altering mRNA shots only produce more variants from their spike proteins …. and patented fools
Don’t believe me … go look at Gibraltar … https://www.rt.com/news/540442-gibraltar-cancels-christmas-covid/
The most wacked place on earth placed on rinse and repeat … welcome to the booster shots … rinse and repeat.
I have to be an educated fool for being able to read and do my own research for criminal I am not.
Only fools and criminals try to discourage people from getting vaccinated.
Istvan you are right about getting the vaccine. Everyone should rush to get jabbed soon, I predict it will help lower the cost of living here in Hungary with all the soon to be vacant properties and create a couple of million jobs for the unemployed.
Istvan you are right about getting the vaccine. Everyone should rush to get jabbed soon, I predict it will help greatly lower the cost of living here in Hungary with all the soon to be vacant properties and create a couple of million jobs for the unemployed.
People (who made a bad decision against having the vaccine) will have natural immunity.
Other than a few exceptions, scientists are in agreement that vaccination is essential to controlling the pandemic.
We had three jabs and another for influenza. No ill effects and a healthy for my age.
I wonder about their motivation when some people tell me how bad the vaccination is. Who are they and why are they trying to confuse people. Sinister.
Istvan, your are ill informed, You will come to regret taking the jabs. So will several hundred million others when they realise they were duped. People are being genocided and too dumb to use common sense to even realise it.
Should I believe you or the collective wisdom of scientific community and my own personal experience?
Not a very hard decision -:)
