The president of hospital doctors union EINAP, Matina Pagoni, expressed her skepticism about the freedoms for entertainment for those who have been vaccinated, noting that any consequences will be seen after two weeks.
“We need a lot of checks to be calm and safe. I wish everyone had done the third dose”, she stressed characteristically speaking to SKAI TV.
Regarding the national holiday parades, she expressed the view that they should only be military in red areas and not student and everyone should watch it on TV, and not in person.
Alarm for Thessaloniki
Especially for Thessaloniki, an alarm bell rang as the difference in coronavirus cases is very close to the number of Athens. She called on people to be vaccinated, especially in Northern Greece, where in some areas the vaccination coverage is below 50%.
“After 19 months, have they not been persuaded to get the vaccine?”
“There is no case deniers will be vaccinated”
She expressed her disappointment for the so-called “deniers” with some of whom she has spoken via email, as Ms. Pagoni said “there is no way they will be vaccinated. No way”.
“We do not deal with them. We are dealing with those who are afraid “, she stressed and appealed to those who have not yet been vaccinated not to be afraid of complications and to think about what complications the disease itself causes.
She reminded viewers that vaccinated people, even if they are symptomatic or ill, will simply show slight symptoms and the chances of being admitted to an ICU are minimal.
