Orbán cabinet: Hungary saved many lives thanks to Eastern vaccines
Hungary saved many lives and “gained a month and a half” in vaccinations thanks to the Russian and Chinese Covid-19 jabs, a foreign ministry official said on Monday.
Tamás Menczer, the state secretary for communications and international representation, said in a Facebook video that
without the Eastern vaccines, the number of vaccinated Hungarians would not have reached four million by last Friday, only in mid-June.
Restrictions would have remained in force for a month and a half longer and the gradual relaunch of the economy, including the reopening of pubs and restaurants, cinemas, theatres and gyms, would have been delayed accordingly, he added.
“Had we listened to the anti-vaxxer voices on the left, there would be much fewer vaccinated, protected people and we would have lost a month and a half,” he added.
Menczer said vaccines save lives and “lead us back to our normal lives”. He called on everyone not to believe the anti-vaxxers.

We don’t believe everything you say either Menczer. Still waiting on those stage three Sinopharm trials …….. any news? Ask your friends.
That Hungary gained a month and half is a big lie. Many countries are inoculating at high speed and without using Sputnik and Sinopharm vaccines.
“Mario the Caveman” – a paid ‘stooge’ for Brussels if there ever was one – has LIED (yet again) through those ugly stumps of teeth still remaining in his Neanderthalic mouth.
The European Commission has STUFFED UP ‘big time’ in every aspect of managing the coronavirus – from SIGNING CONTRACTS (written by the manufacturers with little or no E.U. ‘input’) to ORDERING VACCINES (‘one for that country, two for another country, five for those countries because they support our plan of Europe being ruled from Brussels’ – and so on) and then DISTRIBUTION (what a JOKE that has been !).
E.C. President Von Leyen and E.U. Health Commissioner Kyriakides – the “fools in charge” – have exhibited their total incompetence for all to see.
All ‘Lyin.Leyen’ cares about is where she can place her bum at important meetings (which in reality would probably proceed much better without her presence) whilst ‘rat-catcher Kyriakides’ is (yet again) suspected of major corruption involving SEVERAL MILLION EUROS of ‘kickbacks’ for COVID vaccines.
The International Monetary Fund has just expressed ‘satisfaction’ with Hungary’s response to the COVID-crisis – not something which would apply to Greece or Italy or Portugal or Spain, all of whom are impatiently screaming for yet MORE ‘free’ grants / bail-out money from other European nations.
Mario OBVIOUSLY hates living in Hungary so the question must be asked why he doesn’t move to Sudan.
There he will be able to fully enjoy EVERYTHING that country has to offer bleating, lying and totally useless failures of humanity – such as himself.

Hear hear!
Alfred, the devout nationalist that prays to the ruling party never ceases to amaze me. He can’t speak Hungarian, is only of Hungarian heritage, is a relative newcomer to Hungary and yet claims to speak for the Hungarian people! The only language that he is fluent in is BS. What he does not realise that while he is sitting at home chortling about his less than sparkling wit, other read his comments with pity for such a poor (both financially and intellectually) deluded and tortured soul. I do hope that one day he will rest in peace – preferably sooner rather than later.
