Are measures imposed on non-vaccinated Hungarians discriminative?
Does it count as discrimination if you decide not to get vaccinated, but you are not allowed to go to the cinema?
Ever since the first vaccine received the authorisation for use, the issue of wanting it or rejecting it has been on the table. Especially when protective measures needed to be introduced, and countries were forced only to allow certain activities and places to be visited for those inoculated.
Last year, when the pandemic hit, and there was no vaccine yet, everyone considered it the holy grail that would solve the situation in a heartbeat. Since then, other questions arose.
Many people are against being vaccinated, which divides societies.
Especially when there is a need for measures to be introduced to protect citizens. Measures that can be seen from two standpoints.
You either say that they grant advantages to those who have received their shots, or the opposite: those who refuse to be vaccinated are deprived of their rights to go where they want to go.
Let it be a restaurant, a cinema, or a hotel.
Many Hungarians would rather say the latter, in the form of an angry Facebook comment. Most of them complain about the situation of those who “did not have money for the idiotic tests and they really do not want to be vaccinated, so they should just f**king die at home”.
Some even draw similarities between deciding to not getting vaccinated and being LGBTQ.
They say that people in both situations are subject to discrimination.
Is this actually true? A Hungarian citizen not receiving the vaccine by his choice suffers the same discrimination as an LGBTQ person or someone of ethnicity?
Discrimination is the systematic exclusion and humiliation of a group, occasionally involving physical force, intending to gain or maintain rule or dominance. That is why we talk about discrimination when people suffer it based on their skin colour, culture, or sexual orientation. This negative discrimination comes together with unfairness, inequality, and oppression.
Based on this definition,
imposing certain restrictions on those who decide not to get vaccinated is not considered discrimination.
Being against the vaccine can be perceived as an identity; nevertheless, it is something the person chooses voluntarily, not something he was born with or would be unable to change.
When looking at the medical importance and the whole of society, those without the vaccine contribute much more to the spread of the virus, writes 24.hu. It is without mentioning that they are much more likely to suffer a more prolonged and more painful illness when they get infected.
Finally, comparing this situation of not being able to go out for a while to the violent things that happen to people of colour, for instance, on a daily basis, is simply cynical.
Hungary is not the only country where the idea of these measures and the use of an immunity certificate in everyday activities, like the cinema or a restaurant, is considered. In Italy, they enter into effect this weekend, while Germany also mentioned the possibility.
Looking at the issue
from a legal point of view, if the discrimination in question has a reasonable motive, which is to put an end to the spread of the virus, it is not against the law.
Since the aim is the protection of people and communities and those who can not protect themselves.
Vaccination made obligatory for healthcare workers in Hungary from September 1
Still, making vaccination obligatory does not seem the right decision.
Some are not even able to receive it because of health issues. Others are afraid of the secondary effects, and they do not consider it safe. Certain people believe that they would not get infected anyway. And some people simply do not agree with the government’s measures.
People should not be forced to be vaccinated but provided the necessary information to see that these measures are not directed against them or harm them, but towards a greater good: to get rid of this pandemic as soon as possible.

With regard to the ability or otherwise, may I remind people that for many years a number of countries have made it mandatory to have a yellow fever vaccination. If one does want to have that vaccination, then entry into those countries is not allowed. Similarly, if people choose not to have covid vaccination, they should not expect to be able to enter certain premises. It is their choice.
Get vaccinated for the greater good. The greater good of whom exactly? Big Pharma? There is no proof these chemical cocktails are slowing the spread of Corona Virus, if anything those vaccinated are not immune to reinfection. There is also much evidence that these so called vaccines are maiming many recipients with Bells Palsy, seizures, strokes and heart muscle atrophy. Excuse me for not rolling up my sleeve. I think the odds are better in Las Vegas. Funny thing is if your vaccinated with a vaccine that works you should have no fear of the unvaccinated.
Oh Hungary dear Hungary, I write to you from Puerto Rico..
Here as well our main media outlets and health department have been paid off and forced to play the same fske covid agenda news so to keep pushing those dsmgerous genetic shots. I wonder if your family value president knows that we were all fooled by the americans and the Elite like the Rockafellas, and Anthony Fauci snd the NIH, CDC ..Etc. just to put these crazy ineffective genetic shots in all world humans? Does he know? If he does not, thrn he should be furious. The patents for covid2 and the “vaccine” dste to ptepandemic times so we know they had everything ready gor the plandemic. Did you know that all the PCR tests now have been recalled by the CDC becsuse they are loosing cases in court, those tests were proven to give false positives on purpose.
God bless
The damned shame of this is that, increasingly, risky vaccines are required for a non-existent threat. All we have is a theoretical code for a theoretical virus.
