Immunization – the correct Medical Terminology – when by (2) injections have been received by citizens of Hungary.
Hungary we must reach 65% plus of citizen immunization of our 9.6 million population.
When this is achieved, we go into safer medical and human life survival platforms and ground, as proven by Statistical Medical Data, enabling us to move forward as a country in the progressive stages that will be required in the recovery of our Country – Hungary.
This 65% need, of immunization with declining new case numbers and deaths, will place us as a country, enabling us to center on ECONOMIC recovery over the Heath of us Citizens.
When this time does occur, in the foreseeable future, a greater and
closer alignment to Health centered around Citizen Humanitarian needs – should be displayed by the Government, built around compassion and fairness of peoples lifestyles and affordability of medical care attention, a Government, performing in a way, that highlights centers on – it cares for its People, and understands its peoples needs and exhibits Empathy.
Health of Citizens over Economics must be the way STILL our Government places ALL its Resources.
We are seeing 1 Hungarian death in every 471 citizens of our country and this statistical medical ratio is going to substantially worsen.
Immunization is not the end, of the greatest human tragedy the world has been challenged with in the last century, that we have faced, as a country, over the past nearing 14 months, – but it will be, in the case of Hungary, a 65% immunized proportion of its 9.6 population, the beginning of the end to return life to greater forms of normality.
