“Statistics show that only 3% of people in Lithuania were infected with the Covid-19 virus, so it is necessary to take action and infect around 95%, and this can only be done with vaccines. As a result, the government ordered 1.8 million vaccines. He stopped ask why not 2 million? My answer: the elect don’t need it! ”- is written on the Facebook page” 16-minute newspaper “.

Although the text consists of a total of 3 sentences, the authors have managed to fit a series of false statements into them. However, this did not prevent September 13. Share a post on Facebook over 200 times.
Wrong numbers
The registry establishes that the coronavirus infection was present in 3% of the patients. the population of our country. The authors of the publication probably mention a population survey presented last week..
From July 10 to September 10, researchers from Lithuania University of Health Sciences and Vilnius University found out how many people in six municipalities in the country (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Ukmergė, Tauragė and Zarasai) had coronavirus.
Data from six municipalities show that 1.3 to 2.8 percent of patients were diagnosed with coronavirus. residents of six municipalities. The highest number of patients was 2.83%. detected in the municipality of Kaunas, the lowest in Vilnius. The number of coronavirus infections in the capital is 1.31 percent.
I can reveal that we really did not exceed that 3 percent in any of those districts. This means that in Lithuania less than 3 percent of the population.
In none of the municipalities surveyed was it found that 3% were ill. population. Even taking into account the average results of the municipalities participating in the study, this would not reach 2%.
“I can reveal that we do not really exceed that 3 percent in any of those districts. This means that in Lithuania less than 3 percent of the population.” Lantas professor Mantas Stankūnas, who conducted the research, said when presenting the research data.
The authors of the post also state that “it is necessary to take action and infect about 95% of patients. (inhabitants – past aut.) “. However, in the case of group immunity (ang. group immunity), 95% of the disease the country’s population is not needed.
Vilnius University professor Vytautas Kasiulevičius stated in Aprilthat to develop immunity at the state level, 60-70 percent would suffice. populations would be resistant to COVID-19.

Not contagious, but prepares
The entry in the comments goes on to explain that the coronavirus vaccines will be used to ‘infect’ this 95%. population coronavirus. However, this is also not true.
Lithuania intends to buy a means to develop immunity against the coronavirus from the pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca. The latter is developing a vaccine called AZD1222. This virus that causes COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2 and it is not infected with coronavirus during vaccination.
The vaccine uses a non-human cold virus., which has the same protein as SARS-CoV-2. The virus that caused the pandemic is used as a tool to infiltrate human cells. At that time, AZD1222 learned immunity to fight viruses that contain a dangerous protein.

Just as deminers are trained in the use of decontaminated explosives in classrooms, the human immune system is also taught to “detonate” the virus with non-hazardous parts.
Why 1.8 million. vaccine dose?
In contradiction, the authors of the publication explain that to infect 95 percent. population, the government ordered 1.8 million. vaccine dose. However, even if vaccines were given one at a time, 1.8 million 65-70% of the vaccine doses would be sufficient. population of the country.
According to representatives of the Ministry of Health (SAM), 1.8 million. vaccines would suffice to vaccinate 70 percent. populations and to form herd immunity.
1.8 million According to preliminary estimates, 70% of the vaccine doses Lithuania plans to buy should be enough to get vaccinated. populations.
“1.8 million According to preliminary estimates, 70% of the vaccine doses that Lithuania plans to buy should be sufficient to vaccinate populations. This would allow the development of herd immunity and help prevent the spread of the infection,” says SAM in a commentary. 15 minutes.
However, the SAM clarified that the number of people vaccinated may be lower, since the data provided by the researchers so far does not allow us to decide how many times a person will need to be vaccinated.
The three sentence entry incorrectly identifies the number of people with COVID-19, incorrectly identifies the part of the population that would develop group immunity, and incorrectly identifies the part of the population that would be 1.8 million. vaccine dose, and the principle of the vaccine itself is incorrectly established.
