Hungarian professor answers the most common concerns about vaccination
The coronavirus changed many lives, took beloved people, and the biggest pandemic since the plague does not seem to be disappearing anytime soon. After opening up again, places had to be closed, and our social life is not the same as it used to be. Everyone wants life to be back to “normal”, even if we have to redefine normal. But why is it that despite all these circumstances, many people refuse the vaccine? What are the main concerns, and what is a professor’s response? Find out in the article below.
Based on data published on koronavirus.gov.hu, there are 9,781 people infected with Covid-19 in Budapest and 46,479 in rural areas. 144,385 people recovered from the illness in Budapest and 660,335 people in rural areas. 5,559 people passed away in Budapest and 25,625 residents in rural areas. 25,516 people are currently in quarantine.
Unvaccinated children aged 12-18 and children under the age of 12 are also endangered by the coronavirus, reported RTL. In the past, children either did not have symptoms, or the symptoms of Covid-19 were mild in their case. Now, more and more children are getting the virus and have noticeable symptoms. This is due to the long quarantine period because children were protected from germs, for example. Now, seasonal respiratory illnesses seem to be more common among kids. They even show symptoms of Covid-19.
Despite the new wave and the spread of many variants, only 5,967,747 people got the vaccine in Hungary.

Many unvaccinated citizens reject the vaccines because they do not trust them. HVG asked Zsolt Boldogkői, the Head of the Department of Medical Biology at the University of Szeged, to respond to the most common questions and concerns that people have about the jab.
The professor said that the vaccine does not change DNA. This misinformation might be based on some confusion. Some vaccines contain adenoviruses, which are often mistaken for adeno-associated viruses. The first one is used for vaccines. The latter is used in gene therapy, but they are not in any of the Covid-19 vaccines.
The professor agrees that pharmaceutical companies want to gain profit but adds that this is the same with every product. He also explained that vaccines go through a rigorous process to be approved. He added that vaccines make the immune system function, and vaccines have different results for those who already have a weaker immune system. Another point he makes is that every medicine has its side effects.

The virus is significantly less likely to infect those who are vaccinated and is also less likely to be passed on to others. Even if the virus is detected in their body, they are infected for a much shorter time and pass on the virus to others for a shorter time. There are significantly fewer vaccinated people hospitalised than non-vaccinated people. However, elderly people with weak immune systems are still more likely to get the virus.
Another piece of important information is that people do not die of the vaccine. Unfortunately, there can be adverse side effects, but these happen in an extremely small number of cases. The vaccines are not dangerous to pregnant women and their unborn babies, but it is wise to discuss getting the vaccine with your doctor. They might advise you on which vaccine you should take.
Another false piece of information is that people cannot get the virus if they do not go to social gatherings or crowds. Besides, healthy and young people can get the virus as well. Moreover, vaccines are safe.
The professor said that if 3.91 billion people on the planet got the vaccine and there have not been serious issues, then issues are unlikely to occur in the future.

By all means if you want to take the vaccine please take your shots. Most of us refuseniks know the truth about these vaccines. Don’t expect a stampede from the rest of us to get the shots. It is not going to happen no matter what the media tells you or governments dictate.
The media is not telling people the truth.
Az oltás életet ment.
Vaccination saves lives.
Mandatory Laws – do need serious consideration by our present Government – to ensure the protection, of the majority of the Hungarian population – that are Vaccinated/Immunized.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday – new case numbers = just under 18,000 new cases with 214 deaths in Hungary.
We must “fight on” – and the isolation or exclusion – of those from participation in normal life activities – inclusive of work place environments – who – by there – CHOICE – don’t wish to be Vaccinated/Immunized – must under Mandatory Law – be Segregated.
Prime Minister – Victor Orban – displayed to ALL – in his “tenet” – over decades – in his words, thoughts and actions – his acknowledgement and acceptance – that DEMOCRACY – is Constantly Reforming Itself.
Confident – that Prime Minister – Victor Orban – will ACT – in the interest of the Health & Safety of those Hungarians – Firstly – who have been Vaccinated/Immunized – and secondly, through Mandatory Law – segregate/isolate set apart – those who – by CHOICE – will not take – be Vaccinated.
This is a Numbers Game – built on Statistical Medical Proven Data – that Globally – in overwelming number – VACCINATION – saves Lives.
St. Stephen – please pray for ALL of Hungary.
St. Luke – please pray for ALL of Hungary – especially those in the Medical Profession.
Szent Rokus/Saint Fox – please care for those recovering from this Pandemic.

Érdekelne, hogy mi az a nagy igazság a vakcinákról amit „Fully informed” tud és ami számomra ismeretlen, aki három oltást is kapott és semmi hátrányt nem tapasztalt. Nagyon érdekelne.
Azt se ártana tudni, hogy „Fully informed” barátunknak milyen szakképzettsége van ami őt olyan okossá teszi.
Alig várom a tudományosan megalapozott válaszát.
We are over 65 and at risk group. We had 2 x Sinopharm March/April this year and 1 x Moderna in August. We do not know if Sinopharm is effective and there is no conclusive agreement on the effectiveness of Sinopharm. Should we now apply for a 4th dose, either Moderna again or Pfizer, or another. Thank you
Fully Informed – as Istvan request.
You can either put up the “Fully Informed” information you claim or simple – Shut Up.
Film titled – Doubt 2008 – stared Meryl Streep & the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Scene in the movie – women told to go to the roof of her apartment by the Parish Priest – played by Hoffman – rip up a pillow, let the feathers “fly away.”
The penitent her conscience is eating at her that she has caused Gossip.
Father Brendan Flynn – played by Hoffman – saids to the women:
When you release the pillow feathers they scatter – you know not where they end.
Gossip is the same – you start it – and where it goes and to what extent it is used – God only knows.
Fully Informed – put up FACT or Shut up.
Don’t communicate commentate using this forum – with illicite Gossip and Rumour-mongering.
Nathaniel, and everyone interested.

Read down to the bottom of the linked Official US CDC document. Does it not bother anyone that almost 9400 deaths related to recieving the vaccines were reported just in the USA through November 1st, 2021? Plus all the reported vaccine serious side effects? Any one willing to take a vaccine with almost 9400 deaths reported just in the USA not to mention the reports that significants numbers of deaths and vaccine injuries are reported from the European website tracking the vaccines is playing Russian Roulette with their life. No vaccine in history has ever been allowed to remain on the market with more than a few deaths reported to recipients. Does it not bother you vaccine pundits that the pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued for adverse events and deaths related to these injections? If you are happy to take the risk be my guest but I am never taking a risk like this vaccine is capable of. This is a fully verifiable document. No rumour here at all.
You are right Nathaniel and Norbert is right also.
We just came home from getting our influenza shots. We already had all three Covid shots. I am past 85 but I had no fear of complications because the risk of not getting vaccinated far outweighs the risk of complication.
Richard, we got Pfizer and you are right to be concerned if your Sinopharm vaccine is effective for you. The other day, I read that a simple test can determine if your vaccination is effective and how effective. You should look into the test if you are concerned. Good luck.
Fully informed, I intentionally posed my questions to you in Hungarian because I was 99% certain that you were a troll posting from some other country and have nothing to do with us.
I only came across only one person on DNH who while not a Hungarian and doesn’t speak Hungarian has a love for Hungary that one doesn’t see often even in native born Hungarians. If it was up to me, I would make him a Hungarian citizen. He has the heart.
If I were you, speak to your doctor to see about an antibody test. I know my neighbours did the same. They’re in their 40s and both had the Sinopharm. One had no antibodies and the other very few. I don’t know if they’ve had their boosters yet though. Perhaps if you both show as having low or no antibodies, then ask for the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) as it’s a one shot vaccine.
Amy
Istvan, Unlike some folks on DNH, I seldom ever read the comments until later in the day and when they are in Hungarian because my time is limited I just ignore them. I did not see your reply or anyone else reply after I posted my first comment until several hours later. That is why I did not respond quickly. I live in Hungary near Kaposvar in Somogy County and have been here nearly 5 years. I am a retiree and my Hungarian learning experience has been a dismall failure on my part but not being fluent has seldom been an issue. I love Hungary and will remain here the rest of my life unless I get deported for not taking the jabs. I seldom leave my village, I never use public transit and because I already had Covid19 about a year ago I am not taking the shots. I really do reside here in Hungary I am not a troublemaker who has never been here.
I don’t know how many of you read the report this “Fully informed” troll posted. I read it.
It seems that “Fully informed” has a problem reading Hungarian text and English text also.
Nothing in the report says that “almost 9400 deaths related to receiving(sic) the vaccines”.
It is a lie. “Fully informed” is a lying troll.
The CDC report makes it a point to emphasize, using bold faced letters that “Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.”
Istvan you sir asked for proof and it is you that failed to read the report properly because it clearly does state almost 9400 deaths. I am not going to waste my time arguing with you. You are a sea lion (look up the term) who just likes to cause turmoil and arguments on websites likeDNH. In my opinion you are a troll from reading some of your recent comments. This DNH site is for those whose native language is English and when you post comments in Hungarian they should not even be made live on this page. Please run down to your nearest Hospital and take some more injections and finish frying your brain.
According to the Nuremberg Trials of 1947, its very first tenet is … That the voluntary consent of the human subject be absolutely essential. Be able to exercise FREE POWER OF CHOICE without the intervention of any element of FORCE, FRAUD, DECEIT, DURESS, OVERREACHING, or OTHER ULTERIOR FORM OF CONSTRAINT or COERCION.
Do you have any idea what the full ingredients are within any vaccine vial which is not a vaccine but gene therapy. NO – you do not as they have not provided you with a full list!
Without this – you CANNOT HAVE FULL CONSENT.
What all governments around the world are doing is COERCION and ILLEGAL and I for one am happy to know that Nuremberg 2 is coming.
Following orders is simply not going to be enough to defend those who are involved. The day of reckoning will come and they will run not from me – but from people like you who will awaken to the reality of how you have been lied to and the price you have paid through it.
@Fully Informed … as they say – hold the line! What VAERS does not openly admit is that most professionals are not submitting their reports as it is difficult and time consuming to do a report … but the reality is approximately, 1-10% are actually being reported to VAERS / Yellow CARD in the UK etc … take that 9400 and x10 at least.
The powers that be have also changed the definition of fully vaxed. Presently, it is only 14 days after the 2nd dose so if you happen to leave on the rainbow bridge before that it is not considered a vaccine injury. Talk about manipulation of the masses. For those who are 2x vaxed you soon will be unvaxed and treated like a desease like the rest of us until you get your next booster and the next and the next – GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
As for us having to prove our points / comments – get off your backsides and do your own research you lazy ???? Every time one of us tries to help, all of you jump us. Not doing it anymore. You need to wake up on your own and you will do that when you find out the truth by yourself or not – not my lose in the end.
This ignorant troll that calls himself “Fully informed” is not able to read and understand even the English text of CDC report he referenced.
When I pointed out his mistake he tried to repeat the same mistake but now it is no longer a mistake but a deliberate lie.
Why is he lying and why is this foreigner trying to discourage Hungarians from getting vaccinated and endanger their lives?
@Istvan, as @Fully Informed so aptly pointed out. This is an English version of the Hungarian paper for us magyar illiterate. I believe it is you who is the troll amongst us. Please do us all a favour – go write comments on the Hungarian version of this site.
PS – I am a little surprised at your command of the English language considering, as you stated, you are of an advanced age. Not sure what you did for a living but my BS detector is telling me something is not quite right in Denmark.
I do not care what Hungarian hating FedUp and other foreign trolls speculate about me. I care when you spread untruths about the impact of vaccines that may or may not scare off some Hungarians from taking the jab. You are probably Soros agents and you get paid to cause confusion about the vaccines that are the key to Hungary’s return to almost normal.
