“If we succeed with the obligation and the 60s and over are vaccinated, the image of the pandemic of our country will change completely” stressed through SKAI and the show “Today”, the professor of pulmonology and intensive care, Theodoros Vasilakopoulos, regarding the new measure announced by the government.
As he explained, 90% of the deaths that have occurred so far in our country are at the age of 60 and over, while he added that “if these people were fully protected we would have saved 90% of the deaths and we would have escaped a corresponding percentage of intubated people who put pressure on the NSS “.
The professor even pointed out that this measure was taken correctly, however he stated that it will not stop the virus from circulating but will reduce the pressure on the system or health. “All Greeks must be vaccinated to stop the virus from circulating, so other ages must follow with much more mass vaccination.”
Mr. Vasilakopoulos commented that “there is no democratic right to death, especially if I cause death to the other. That is why the state tells us to wear a seat belt, whether we like it or not. So he protects me and fines me if I do not wear “.
As for the concern that prevails for the Omicron variant, he clarified that there is a lack of solid scientific data, while he estimated that within two weeks we will have the first data from the laboratories. He added, however, that if anyone has been vaccinated, they are terribly protected even against Omicron.
