End with Data without Pathos: Founding member said goodbye to the project! Words from which the frost on the back goes – Topky

He announced on the social network on Sunday evening that he had decided to end the project. “I would like to thank my colleagues from Data without pathos, namely Ivanovi, Liborovi, Viliamovi a Vladimirfor the beautiful time we spent on the project or, if we like, our Data Without Pathos civic initiative, which we co-founded to help with the pandemic in terms of data that was critically lacking, especially during the first and second waves. And even in the third wave, the state-managed data is still not at the required level, so the project certainly still makes sense. “ Tillinger wrote, noting that the main reason he left the project was a lack of time.

As he explained, other responsibilities would not allow him to pursue the project as he wished. In addition, he pointed to views that were different from those of his colleagues, and he failed to enforce them. For example, he presented a different view of what the third wave will look like and when it will end like his colleagues. While Tillinger claimed it would be a long winter, Data without pathos was and continues to be extremely optimistic. However, despite differing views, he thinks that the project as such still makes sense.

“I believe that even if it does not look like it at the moment, we will finally come out of this pandemic strengthened, more experienced, more tolerant, more democratic and, above all, more cohesive. I very much wanted us to achieve a level of vaccination through voluntary vaccinations that would not overwhelm our healthcare system, that not so many people would die, that we would not be tangled like the whole society in lockdowns, and that we would not have to discuss closing schools. Unfortunately, volunteering has led us to only half the vaccination, so we think as a society what to do next. ” Tillinger stated that a better form of vaccination motivation should be tried, especially in one group of the population.

And that is people over the age of 50, who currently make up 79 percent of COVID hospitalizations in hospitals. According to Tillinger, the motivation would be direct payment for all over 50 years of age, who are still unprotected and can be vaccinated. In addition, he pointed out that there should be a discussion about mandatory vaccination of the entire population over 5 years, including children. Vaccination of children in the age group of 5 to 11 years was also approved by the European Medicines Agency last week.

“We have no prevention other than a vaccine. Merck tablets are proving to be 30% effective before the difficult course (originally it looked like 50%) and the hope is the drugs from Pfizer, which, however, will not come until next year. We do not yet know what will cause in Europe B.1.1.529 from Africa called Omikron. I hope that we will not finally have a third wave with a new fourth in January, “ Tillinger said. According to him, we can now thank the monoclonal antibodies in the fight against coronavirus, which, however, are extremely expensive. If they were served to everyone, it would cost the state a lot of money. Monoclonal antibodies are given to elderly patients who are infected with the coronavirus to avoid difficult procedures and possible hospitalizations.

“We all pay it from taxes and levies, and the vaccine is by far the cheapest tool. So what farm lobby, though? I am not a catastrophe or any pandemic hawk, but I have great respect for the disease. Therefore, I ask you all again. If you know unvaccinated seniors in your area, resp. people over the age of 50, ask them or take them for vaccination without registration. The sooner the better!” concluded.
