Mitsotakis: great day for science and the European Union
“Today is a great day for science, it is a great day for the European Union, which managed to deliver the vaccine on the same day to all European countries, putting into practice the message of European solidarity. I believe that today all Greek men and women are smiling under our masks, since the difficult project of mass vaccination of the Greek population begins with the vaccine against Covid-19 in our homeland.
State and political leaders are the first to get vaccinated to set an example that the vaccine is safe and effective. Today we will be vaccinated with the first health workers, the people who were on the front lines of the fight against COVID. We owe them a lot and above all they must be the first to be vaccinated, not only to set an example, but to be sure themselves, to be able to perform their great task.
In the coming months, our goal is to vaccinate the vast majority of Greeks. And I believe that as vaccination progresses and we see that the vaccine is completely safe but also effective, those of our fellow citizens who today, with suspicion, may face the prospect of vaccination, will be convinced that this is the right thing to do. .
Vaccination is the only way we can finally end the COVID adventure. It is the only way to regain control of our lives. Hug and cuddle with the people we love. Let economic activity resume.
I believe that all this will be put into practice in the first six months of 2021, so that this emblematic year that begins in a few days for our country – 200 years since the beginning of the Greek Revolution – can write new pages of optimism in its history. of our place. Happy holidays, happy birthday, happy new year to everyone and everyone ”.
