“Someone who denies his science, can not provide services to the National Health System”, said for the unvaccinated health ministers the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris who, answering a topical question of the KKE MP George Lambroulis, revealed that a provision is being processed defines vaccination as a formal qualification, in order to provide one’s services to the NSS.
“The position of the Minister of Health, which I have suggested to the government, is that people who will not be vaccinated should not remain in the National Health System,” said Thanos Plevris.
The heroes of the pandemic
On the other hand, the Minister of Health, answering a topical question of the ND MP Christos Boukoros, about the health workers who fell on duty, that is, lost their lives from covid19, the health workers who “did not put it on their feet but remained in the front line and they lost their lives “, he stated that the ministry is studying the issue as a whole, the way in which the state will reward the health workers (earnings, points, incentives, risk). At the crown of this effort, as announced by Thanos Plevris, will be the families of those health workers who, while serving the NSS, became infected with covid and died. “We have to think that especially in the first phase, there was no vaccine, and obviously there should be a practical reward for the families of the doctors who lost their lives then,” said the Minister of Health, adding that the issue will be opened in the most institutional way. .
The unvaccinated
“As long as the pandemic lasts, there is no question of returning the unvaccinated health workers. As we give extensions to auxiliary staff, precisely because there is a pandemic, those who are not vaccinated will not return. However, the position of the Minister of Health, which I have suggested to the government, is that the people who will not be vaccinated, should not remain in the National Health System “, said Thanos Plevris about the unvaccinated health workers and informed the Parliament that the ministry is working on a provision , and on March 31, two things can happen, “either the suspension will be extended for the duration of the pandemic, or there will be a formal qualification to provide services to the NSS, vaccination, and therefore, whoever is not vaccinated will not remain in the NSS and the vacancies will be advertised for those people who are now assistants in the NSS. They are not thugs, they are in battle, with an altruism, towards society, and they have been vaccinated and they provide their services and they are next to the citizen “.
“Someone who denies science denies lege artis. We must operate according to the rules of medical science. “And when the rules of medical science state that in order to deal with the pandemic, there must be a vaccine, the one who refuses to work according to the rules of medical science, regardless of the pandemic, is against the science that is called to serve the NSS”, he insisted Thanos Plevris stressed: “We are clear. If a position related to suspensions is followed, they will be prolonged for the duration of the pandemic. But the elaboration that is now being done by order, is the position that someone who denies science, can not provide services to the National Health System. And it’s absolutely his choice, because he can go get vaccinated and come back right away. “Those who deny their science will not be blackmailed by the state.”
Earlier, KKE MP George Lambroulis had called for the lifting of administrative measures for all those not vaccinated against covid 19. The MP said at the outset that the KKE supports the universal vaccination of the population, according to scientific criteria, and supports the special weight which has the vaccination of health and all employees in health and welfare services, for the protection of both themselves and patients. Mr. Lambroulis, who advocated for the personalized and targeted information of those who have not been persuaded to be vaccinated, denounced the government’s insistence on maintaining the measure of suspension, pointing out that the hospitals are understaffed, that there have been government relapses. for the needs of the tourist groups, and asked for the immediate return to work of all the employees who are on work suspension, by carrying out the necessary preventive tests and to have a substantial and personalized discussion with them, in order to be vaccinated. He demanded that the part of the emergency financial aid corresponding to their working time be paid before they were suspended, that the time of the suspension be recognized as pensionable time, and that the measure of financial punishment be abolished for those who have not been vaccinated over 60 years.
“Health workers will neither return to work if they are not vaccinated, nor will they receive proportionate money, nor will their suspension be recognized as a retirement period,” said the health minister, who stressed that “they have the choice not to be vaccinated but This option is not required to be accepted by the NSS and the state. It is a choice they make. They themselves choose not to provide services, since they do not go to be vaccinated. They themselves undertake the consequences “, said Thanos Plevris and stressed:” Ultimately, we have to decide over here, whether we want the medical staff to be vaccinated or not. Because when we say that we want the medical staff to be vaccinated, the one who is not vaccinated, should have some sanctions. “And the sanction can not be to do a test and come back because it is precisely medical nurses who are in vulnerable areas.”
Regarding the fine for those over 60 and other administrative restrictions, the Minister of Health stressed that all these were measures that led to the first installment being made by 84% to 85% in the adult population, ie above the European average , and has had a complete vaccination rate of over 81%. In the general population from 55% that was Greece, in percentage of vaccination, today it has reached 72% which is the European average. “This was done with mandatory measures,” said Thanos Plevris, adding that with the mandatory measures for those over 60, out of about 600,000 unvaccinated citizens, due to the mandatory, half were vaccinated and protected themselves. “Consequently, the measures of obligation had an effect”, said Mr. Plevris.
