Regarding the pandemic, Mr. Georgiadis stressed that we are now talking about a pandemic of the unvaccinated, while as he said, he is receiving vulgar denunciations from those who do not want to be vaccinated.
“Today there is the vaccine and whoever wants, goes and gets the vaccine and is protected. “So there is no longer a moral basis for shutting people in,” he added.
Even in the scenario of having such a suggestion from the infectious disease specialists, Mr. Georgiadis pointed out that the doctors have their say and the government decides.
