Hungary has slipped to rank 17th in terms of the proportion of its population vaccinated fully against Covid-19 on average in the European Union, a politician of the opposition Democratic Coalition said on Friday, blaming “the poor showing” on the government.
The government has been incapable of tackling the pandemic since its first wave, Zoltán Komáromi, a health expert of the party, told an online press conference, criticising the government over its “inefficient” protection, prevention and national vaccination measures.
At the end of the summer, mass vaccinations came to a halt, he said, adding that “the
Orbán government is risking the life of Hungarians
when it is incapable of organising mass vaccinations”.
As a result, figures show Hungary with 67,4 percent of adults having received their first jab, compared with the EU average of 75,5 percent, Komaromi said. The proportion of adults fully vaccinated in the EU is 66,8 percent, whereas in Hungary it is 64,8 percent, he said.

Would this be the same opposition that at every turn, tried to discourage Hungarians from getting vaccinated? Fidesz is far from perfect but a far better choice than this opposition. The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang represents the worst of communist era oppression. They don’t miss a single opportunity to support those who attack Hungary. In 1956, their parents and grandparents called in the Soviet tanks against Hungary They want the EU and senile, pretend-president Biden to force them on the backs of Hungarians. They are the enemies of Hungarian people.
It was only a few short weeks ago that the Left were criticising Orban for using sinovac and Sputnik! Typical Left! The Left are not your friends!
The Orban Government – credit to them that when the time came it was “head down – bum up” attitude, a figurative bodily position adopted, when working hard at a task – either physical or mental.
Hungary did perform creditable at the Vaccination ratio per population ratio – at the time of – the initial “onslaught” – of this ongoing novel coronavirus.
Did we “call in the troops” early enough – to instigate the National Vaccination Program of Citizens – History will be the judge of that.
Did we – the Political & Monetary Cost Driven Position and Decisions – that saw us vaccinate approx 2.5 million citizens with the Chinese and Russian vaccines – was this the RIGHT call – History will tell us that.
The Delta strain continues throughout Europe and the wider World.
Delta has “risen” its nasty head in Hungary with daily new case numbers on the
rise.
Vaccination – is our “buffer” as humans – giving us a greater chance of not becoming infected contacting this ongoing Virus strain – which sadly for us – in Hungary has seen lose of life numbers resulting in a figure for Hungary of over 30,000 citizens.
The invitation by our Government – to receive a – “booster” – must be CONSIDERED – Seriously – by ALL citizens.
Those still thinking negatively on becoming Vaccinated – besides individual reason(s) – which are our right under Democracy – you must look at the Global picture that statistically – beyond reasonable doubt prove – that Vaccination/Immunization – is overall a – LIFESAVER.
The “booster” jab – go the vaccines that are being statistically the proformers.
We put standard in our high performance motor vehicles and it we not perform to its QUALITIES.
This is my unequivocal postion in relation to the Russian and the Chinese “conglomerations ” – they are standard – and we need to put Super in our Tanks – to get best perforfance and results.
Stay Safe and Well – ALL.
