The vaccine saves, does not kill

The fact that our neighbors have started vaccinating their citizens, and we are still waiting for the first doses, should not be a concern. The vaccine will come. What is worrying is the question how many people will agree to be vaccinated?

The world has begun to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. We have finally received the vaccine that will combat the pandemic and return life to normal. The vaccine will arrive in Macedonia in February, announced the health authorities. Medical workers and the chronically ill will be vaccinated first, and then everyone else, of course who wants to.

These days, the calls to the government are more relevant - why Macedonia will be the last of the countries in the region to start the process of immunization of the population? The fact that our neighbors have started vaccinating their citizens, and we are still waiting for the first doses, should not be a concern. The vaccine will come. What is worrying is the question how many people will agree to be vaccinated? The data from the polls show that a large percentage of Macedonians believe in conspiracy theories related to the coronavirus and refuse to be vaccinated. Various theories can be read on social networks every day that covid-19 is a "fabrication of Satanists", that the pandemic is false and aims to establish a new order, that vaccines will chip us, change our DNA and the like. Many Macedonians, mostly young people, believe in such theories and refuse to be vaccinated.

Attitudes against the vaccine also fuel the calculations of some medical experts that Macedonia will achieve collective immunity in about three months, without a vaccine. But is that so and how long will that immunity last? As far as we know, coronavirus immunity is not forever and the virus will become seasonal, like the flu. And how long will we fight it if we are not vaccinated?

It should be clear to us that the only salvation from this pandemic is the vaccine. And it was not invented by Filipce or the "Satanists" led by Bill Gates. History has shown that vaccination is the only cure for many deadly diseases, such as the coronavirus, which has claimed many lives. Older people remember how Yugoslavia dealt with the 1972 smallpox pandemic pandemic. They say that they were saved from this terrible disease only by vaccination. But then there was no internet, no social networks where conspiracy theories were spread, but people believed only in medicine and science. Those who experienced this epidemic tell how whole families, arranged in alphabetical order, were vaccinated in schools by municipalities. And no one refused the vaccine, because they were aware that only in that way their lives would return to normal. And then there were quarantines, and then people wore masks and had enhanced hygiene habits. But one by one, they were vaccinated without objection. Thus smallpox is eradicated. Let's hope that we will eradicate this virus as well, that we will still trust the doctors, and not the healers and conspiracy theories, which take us back to the Stone Age.
