Professor Alivizatos at SKAI: Why vaccination must be extended (vid) |

The assessment that legally-constitutionally there is no problem at all in the extension of the obligation of vaccinations was expressed by the emeritus professor of Constitutional Law at the Law School of the University of Athens, Nikos Alivizatos, speaking to SKAI.
He commented that the tendency of sensitivity not to undergo any kind of treatment or not to self-administer a substance in the human body, is a phenomenon that did not exist so strongly some years ago but has grown over the last twenty years.

“This change is due to the fact that, in my opinion, medical science is rightly focused on man and not on disease,” he said. you suggest to me I do not want it, since he is aware of what he is doing, the doctor must follow him “.

“This is what all codes of conduct everywhere say now,” he said, explaining that the spread of this phenomenon to vaccine sites is what we live in today.

According to Mr. Alivizatos, this perception, in its bad form, is particularly selfish, while in its milder form it could be characterized as liberal.

In any case, the professor pointed out that in this case we are experiencing a pandemic where our personal choices affect those around us.

As he pointed out, the courts in both Greece and Strasbourg have ruled that the vaccine can be made mandatory under two conditions.

Firstly, if there are serious medical contraindications – that is, if there is a serious underlying disease, which would not allow its administration and secondly, if there are proven by long-term practices, philosophical or religious.

“That is, a man who for many years does not accept any operation on his body, you will respect him”, he explained and added that in his estimation this attitude should not be a last minute consequence or a whim that arose completely negligently and without any deeper attachment to any particular belief.

“If a law said that no one can take an ASEP test without being vaccinated, in my opinion, it would be perfectly legitimate,” he said, adding that such a thing has no problem with constitutionality.

“When you give the vaccinated person the opportunity to take these tests, you do not give him a privilege, he returns to normal. The exception was the lockdown, in which we were all locked inside. By letting the vaccinated person go to the theater, you do not give him a privilege, you give him the opportunity to return to normalcy. “This is perfectly legitimate,” he said.

Finally, regarding the sanctions for violations of the measures for the pandemic, the professor gave as an example that the pharmacist who gives false certificates that the citizen has done a test for the coronary artery, without having done so, should face the consequences of a special law with special sanctions.

“The pharmacist who makes such a paper must go inside. “Without suspension of the sentence” he commented and added that in his opinion the same should apply respectively to the citizen who will ask for it.

Asked to comment on the phenomenon of families who do not send their children to school as they refuse to wear a mask and take a self-test, he stressed that he has the impression that the state should intervene, as depriving children of education is a criminal offense. if the children are under 15 years old.
