Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent a clear and resounding message to deniers of COVID-19 vaccines during his press statements at the Thessaloniki International Fair, greekcitytimes.com reports.
Expressing his absolute conviction that the vaccine would be safe, he added that if needed for symbolic reasons, he would be the first to make the vaccine “with joy,” as would his family. He pointed out that Greece is in all the vaccine pre-purchase contracts, which will be available free of charge to the citizens.
In particular, the Prime Minister spoke about “vaccines” in a plural number, announcing that Greece is in all pre-purchase contracts. The vaccine will be available free of charge, said Mitsotakis once again, noting, nevertheless, that “our problem will be to persuade the Greeks to be vaccinated.”
“I am absolutely convinced that the vaccine will be safe, absolutely safe,” said Mitsotakis, asking for public information about the need for all of us to be vaccinated, announcing that he and his family will be the first to get the vaccine.
“The vaccine is above all safe and necessary,” he said, noting that vaccine deniers are a problem, a situation he admitted is not new.
“I am moderately optimistic about the timing for the vaccine and I say it is about six months ahead of us, but it is not ruled out that there may be delays. It will take a lot of effort to convince people that the vaccine is safe and effective. I believe that we will win the battle against the anti-vaccination movement.”
