Čaplinskas said the decision had affected not just the AstraZeneca vaccine, but everyone, including the coronavirus.
“I think it is very bad that Lithuania has surrendered, on the one hand, to fear, when the fear of making a mistake, of losing a job with someone. As a result, such decisions are made, which one journalist calls the “herd principle.” That is if others are doing it out there, maybe we need to do it. I think there is a very serious hit not only for the AstraZeneca vaccine, but also for vaccines and their use. On the other hand, the response to the coronavirus. Perhaps later on, other decisions will also be questioned “, comments S. Čaplinskas on the program” Delfi rytas “.
He stressed that the threat of clots is extremely dangerous.
“Initially, the developers of this vaccine had reported that 17 million doses had been vaccinated and 37 post-vaccine thromboembolic complications had been reported. It is very important that we understand one thing: what happens after that does not necessarily happen because of it. If desired and at all times to maximize vaccine safety, all side effects should be recorded after administration. If there is an accident after the vaccine, we will all understand that it is hardly related to the vaccine. In this case, clot formation is a very serious matter, ”said the infectious disease specialist.
S. Čaplinskas said that after starting mass vaccination, it is natural for “something to happen”.
“When the vaccine was tested on healthy people, there were no such cases after the vaccine. When you start to vaccinate en masse, in the elderly, with various diseases, this happens naturally. It is inevitable that something happens to someone after the vaccination ”, explained the interlocutor in the program“ Delfi rytas ”.
He said it will most likely become clear that these side effects simply coincide in time with the vaccination.
“Such an irresponsible move is to stop the vaccine and the other side, which only raises even more doubts and fears for people who give in to the vaccine,” he said.
S. Čaplinskas assured that clot formation is a fairly common disease, so attributing this to the side effects of vaccination may be incorrect.
“The situation is further complicated by the fact that we know that COVID-19 is essentially a vascular disease, so to speak. It damages the blood vessels. And circulatory disorders are quite common complications in this disease. Therefore, if the people think that vaccination can cause such complications, far-reaching misconceptions will be drawn. So far, there is no evidence that the vaccine can do that, “he said.
The interlocutor of the program “Delfi rytas” commented that the decision to temporarily suspend the vaccination with AstraZeneca will save a lot of time.
“This confidence is unlikely to recover this season. Here is one side of the coin. But one of the big problems in Lithuania is that it is impossible to predict what will happen next, what consequences, what reasons. Now if there is any doubt about vaccines, before there were doubts about masks. We are very aware of the amount of illogical that there were due to movement restrictions, “said S. Čaplinskas to the problems.
He agreed that the AstraZeneca vaccine should now be given to those who want it.
“We need to reduce the cartel and allow those who understand and want to get vaccinated,” said S. Čaplinskas.
The infectious disease specialist said the virus is now smarter than humans, which is why it wins this race.
