Hungarians don’t trust in mainstream medicine

According to a recent survey by Závecz Research, Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed believe that alternative healing methods are much more effective than scientific methods and regard the phenomenon of “Pharmaceutical Lobby” an obscenity.

68 percent of respondents believe that drug companies, in order to increase their profits subvert treasured and affordable natural therapies. The survey found that there was a huge demand for alternative medical solutions among the general public and distrust in official medical procedures is greater than ever before.

More than half of Hungarians support alternative medicine and only 13 percent of them are skeptical; a third of them ambivalent.

The survey also found that 27 percent of respondents believe that vaccines cause more harm than good. This means that more than two million people in Hungary do not believe that vaccination is a good thing.
