More vaccinated countries are also stiffening: Vaccine is failing? Here is the answer to why the Germans and Austrians are bad – Topky.sk

This time, the police also looked at why the situation is deteriorating even in countries where more people have opted for the vaccine than in our country. “The spreaders of misinformation and hoaxes are burning their keyboards these days so that they can pass on their truth to the world that vaccines are not working.” responded to this trend. They pointed to several variables.

The first is the so-called unvaccinated effect. “According to data from Germany, for example, about 67 percent of people in Germany are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. However, experts have warned since the start of the implementation that this number is not high enough to keep the virus under control.” stated.

Christine Falk, president of the German Society for Immunology, also said that combined with a lack of contact restrictions, it allowed the virus to spread almost exclusively among the unvaccinated. years about four times higher than in those vaccinated. It is about six times higher in patients over 60 years of age.

According to the police, the reason why even better vaccinated countries have to tighten measures from us is declining immunity, especially in the elderly. “The vaccine significantly reduces the risk of serious illness and death. As the number of cases increases, so does the risk of COVID-19 infection in vaccinated people. The country is now giving booster vaccines to people who were fully vaccinated more than six months ago. “ explained.

The deterioration of the situation is also due to fewer restrictions compared to last year. Thus, according to the police, it is logical that the virus spreads more easily, especially among the unvaccinated. The more contagious delta variants also played a role. This year, however, it has become prevalent in most of the world, including Germany.

Police also point out that “All viruses love colder weather.” “The delta variant loves the cold. We spend more time inside, which makes it easier to spread the virus,” Dr. Falk was quoted again. “Germany is not the only place where the situation has worsened. European countries such as Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium are also seeing a sharp increase in infections, as these factors combine,” stated.

According to them, countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria have taken stricter measures because they feel pressure on their hospitals. “However, Slovak hospitals are in a much worse situation. The maximum capacities are being filled and there are fewer and fewer beds with artificial lung ventilation. The situation is literally on the edge. Unfortunately, the reason is much lower vaccinations,” the police said.

At the same time, they said that changing opinions is not a shame. “Understandably, for example, you wanted to wait, it’s natural that you didn’t rush when the epidemic situation was good. Now our hospitals are almost full, staying unvaccinated is very dangerous and it’s important to know how to reconsider.” they challenged the people.
