Third and fourth jabs to come? – This is what Hungarian virologists think
Change language:
It seems more and more likely that a third and even a fourth jab will be necessary to preserve immunity against the coronavirus due to the concerning epidemic situation in Hungary and all across Europe. Hereby, we reveal what experts think about a possible third or a fourth jab. In addition, we can also learn about a Hungarian company that introduced a bonus system to increase vaccination among workers.
Another wave of coronavirus is raging across Europe. Unfortunately, Hungary is not an exception either where the number of daily infections and deaths caused by SARS-CoV-2 is continuously increasing.
According to the chief infectious disease specialist of the South Pest Central Hospital, János Szlávik, we cannot expect the epidemic situation to improve in the next two weeks. The expert has revealed that their intensive care unit is full, and 80-90% of the coronavirus patients treated there are unvaccinated. As the Hungarian news portal hvg.hu reports, this is one of the reasons why the virologist highlights the importance of vaccination. In addition, after receiving the first two jabs, one’s immunity might decrease by the passage of time.
Therefore, the central hospital tries to encourage people to take the third dose of the vaccine as well.
According to the expert, the necessity of a fourth jab may be discussed soon as it is possible that the population will have to vaccinate itself at certain intervals. This would enable the immune system to get refreshed every 4-6 months as well as it would provide protection against newer variants.
The virologist is not in favor of making vaccination compulsory. Szlávik believes that mandatory vaccinations should be introduced against diseases that can be completely eradicated such as smallpox. However, the coronavirus is an ongoing, changing disease that would be difficult to fight with mandatory vaccinations.
This is underpinned by a virologist from the University of Pécs. According to Ferenc Jakab, “the virus is certain to stay with us and the pathogen will be incorporated into the palette of upper respiratory infections.” The expert suggests that people check their antibody levels after the third jab. He also highlights that contrary to popular belief, excess level of antibodies does not exist. In addition, the lack of antibodies is not an issue either as the immune system defends itself on multiple fronts. Even if our antibody levels are low, the cellular immune response may work well against the virus.
Do your part for Hungqry and get your jabs people. It will lower property prices in the coming months.
Do your part Hungary and get the frigging jab. It will resolve the upcoming food shortages and supply chain disruptions by substantially reducing the population.

The US refuses to investigate how this all started but have no problem to silence medical professionals who have different opinion and don’t work for the goverment. Japan has taken to alternatives to the vacs especially in the early stages and many have recovered in days. They have banned them in the US.
