The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has called on the government to procure a coronavirus vaccine from a source Hungarians would also accept as trustworthy, the spokesman of the party said.
Balázs Barkóczi told an online press conference that “Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wants to force onto Hungarians a Russian vaccine the side-effects of which are completely unknown and which the European authority is not likely to approve any time soon”. “It is a vaccine Hungarians would never ever volunteer to get,” he said.
Barkóczi noted DK’s online petition showing that 71% of the several thousand respondents said they would accept only the German or the American vaccine, whereas less than 2% chose the one developed in Russia.
