Analyst Tillinger talks about the sad reality: We prefer Jan from the pub to experts rather than experts! Where did we go – Topky.sk

It has been possible to vaccinate with vaccines in Slovakia since the Christmas holidays, and among the first were risk groups vaccinated – seniors for whom coronavirus infection would be fatal and health professionals who put their lives at risk daily only to treat those struggling with severe coronavirus. . So far, just over 2.5 million people have been vaccinated and statistics are growing very slowly.

“As a company, we have reached an imaginary terminal stage. Although it is now clear that the most effective prevention against hospitalization and overloading of the health care system with all staff and equipment is the possibility to be vaccinated, half of the population has rejected this cheapest and most effective protection., ” wrote data analyst Jakub Tillinger, stating that this is happening despite the fact that it is known that mainly unvaccinated people get into hospitals. After “sober up” in the hospital, some of them even reached such a stage that they would inject the “bad” vaccine to avoid the difficult course and stay in the hospital. But in the given state it is no longer possible.

In addition, he points to another sad fact – those who ended up in hospital or became infected with coronavirus and were not willing to be vaccinated are still threatened by health professionals who save their lives at the expense of their health. “Instead of being grateful that, because of their own irresponsibility, cowardice, and fear, they have to take care of them for thousands of euros in the hospital, they often have the audacity to repeat the Facebook wisdom of conspirators, charlatans and pseudo-experts, and demand treatment other than that provided to them., ” Tillinger pointed out, adding that while we do not live in an ideal state, and from the beginning, vaccination registration resembled games of life, but everyone who applied for the vaccine also received it.

The peak will come soon

And this is also the case for family and well-known data analysts. He pointed out that even though some of his relatives or colleagues became infected, they did not get to the hospital and the vaccine protected them sufficiently. And it didn’t matter if it was a vaccine from Moderna, AstraZeneca or the Pfizer / BioNTech consortium – they all reliably protected them. In addition, Tillinger predicts that the peak of the wave will come in about 4-6 weeks, and then, around Christmas or New Year, the numbers will start to decline.

“Je striking to me, however, that we went from applauding on the balconies for the paramedics to swearing and ingratitude. In my view, the state and experts have done a lot. Representatives of the opposition from Smer, Hlas, partly We are a family and then the Republic, or the Kotleb family, did not criminally stand up for vaccination and did not support the scientific consensus with their authority. If that were the case, after our 15,000 deaths in two waves, we would have to be on the same side as Portugal, Denmark or the United Kingdom and have been vaccinated with at least 80% of the population. “ Tillinger explained, adding that if we had at least 75 percent of people in the risk group over 50 vaccinated in all districts, the whole of Slovakia would be the worst red. And so the gastronomy sector would not be endangered, the hotel industry and the economy would not suffer as it does now.

We prefer to suffer rather than trust the experts

“Only if we are probably a nation that thinks of no one but ourselves. Honor the exceptions, of which there are enough. What is it that makes western and southern Slovakia better at it? We really saw people in our area dying here, as well as freezer trucks in Nitra, so we rally collectively and we acted. Thanks to that, we won’t be in the black. But they will be here in a week or two to take ambulances from people from the east and center of Slovakia, where they trust more what Jano said in the pub than experts who specialize in virology, epidemiology or infectology, ” Tillinger wrote angrily. He explained that this is why the vaccinated will also suffer, due to the postponement of planned operations.

And they will wait for them again for a long time, because the decline from the third wave will be several months, from the high numbers of hospitalizations. However, Tillinger hopes that the maximum number of patients hospitalized in hospitals will be 3 to 3.5 thousand. It also has its hook. “But from high numbers, the decline will last all winter. And even in the decline, there will be more infections and some of them will end up in the hospital and morgue. Deaths are starting to increase and daily averages will soon be above 50 per day. Although deaths in the third wave will probably not be as many as in the second wave (unless a new variant of the virus appears), most of these deaths will fall into the category of unnecessary and avoidable. That vaccine! ” he concluded by saying that people could still protect themselves and urged them not to linger for too long. “Especially if you are over 50 years old. The vaccine is really a solution. From a health and economic point of view, ” concluded.
