PM Orbán: EU should approve vaccines shown to be effective elsewhere
Change language:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday said he would propose to European Union leaders that the bloc authorise all vaccines that have been shown to be safe and effective elsewhere and use them to accelerate vaccinations across the EU.
Hungary is the only EU country to have approved and deployed Russian and Chinese vaccines in large quantities before the European Medicines Agency has examined or approved them. This has enabled it to reach one of the EU’s highest inoculation rates.
Orbán, who was attending an EU social summit in Lisbon, said in a Facebook video that any social issue began with vaccines, the only way to ensure people could safely return to work.
“We have lessons to share as Hungary has reopened almost completely,” Orbán said. “Hungarians have their freedom back, while in many European countries that is not the case.”
Hungary has vaccinated 4.2 million of its 10 million citizens as of Friday, including 2.4 million with both doses of five various vaccines it has used.
But with 28,403 fatalities, it remains the world leader in deaths per capita in the course of the pandemic, due mostly to a particularly lethal third wave. It also has the second highest rate of deaths from confirmed cases in the EU, after Bulgaria.
He conveniently seems to be forgetting that the experiences of Chile, the UAE and Serbia have shown that while safe, the efficacy of Sinopharm is poor which is why are now administering 3rd doses of it.
Yet another TOTALLY STUPID comment from an ‘Anonymous anemone’.
The W.H.O. yesterday released its report into SINOPHARM VACCINE and found it have an (estimated) efficacy of 79% – compared to 74% for the Johnson & Johnson product and 80% for Astrazeneca’s version.
Perhaps now those left-wing acerebral ‘experts’ in the E.M.A. will de-digitalise their backsides and ‘approve’ SINOPHARM for use within the E.U.
However, don’t count on it – ‘anemones’ can be very dangerous to humans and the Brussels varieties (together with ‘Anonymous’ contributors to “DAILY NEWS HUNGARY”) are no exception.
