Former Director of the Center for Communicable Diseases and AIDS prof. Saulius Čaplinskas is convinced that those who doubt vaccination must communicate and speak the same language.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Why modern technology can do that. Why was the virus lucky and already known? For example, the virus that causes AIDS was new at the beginning and it was necessary to learn to work with it , and people worked with the COVID virus a long time ago. The mRNA technology has been known for a long time, “he said in a discussion Saturday.

According to S. Čaplinksas, questions to people should not be answered by politicians, but by specialists. Especially for those who use special drugs whose kidneys have been removed, for example, and are therefore afraid to get vaccinated.
“It just came to our knowledge then. But that word is unacceptable to me. Yes, some people will call themselves anticoagulants, but those who are against it and do not listen to anything. But there will be no more than 30% of them, and with us much less vaccinated Others are skeptical, they ask clear questions and they have to be answered clearly, “said the professor.
In addition, S. Chaplinks believes that sometimes it is better to provide less, but accurate information. Otherwise, people get lost and choose to wait.
Vaccines are not experimental
Meanwhile, the vice dean of the Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine, prof. Vytautas Kasiulevičius is convinced that people can ask questions about the safety of the vaccine. However, he emphasized that the vaccines are well researched and are regularly published in various medical journals. It is true that the only thing missing is to talk about the side effects and make them public.
“I am in favor of openness, because if we try to hide, conspiracy theories are born immediately. The Marshistas are not a homogeneous group. There are some who you can talk to, it is the part of society that is afraid and needs to be spoken to. I understand that there are people who are financed by agencies from neighboring countries, are paid money and organize riots. But we need to talk to others about their vaccine fears, “the professor said in a discussion Saturday.

And the special envoy of the World Health Organization (WHO), Vytenis Povilas Andriukaitis, was severe with the question of whether the vaccines developed against COVID-19 are experimental.
“Once a vaccine is approved, it is not experimental. Yes, the vaccine is initially experimental, then in a clinical trial, then in authorization, and then it cannot be called experimental. Point. Therefore, we are not conducting any experiments, “he said.

What measures should be taken in schools?
According to prof. V.Kasiulevičius, solutions of this type have not yet been found in the world that protect school children from COVID-19. However, when returning children to school from September, it is important to ensure that children wear masks and are tested.
“There is no ideal solution and I think masks and tests should help. It is true that shells give a much greater effect than tests,” said the professor.
The third important thing is ventilation. According to the teacher, the premises where the children will study must be constantly inspected and whether they are ventilated.
“The three most important things are masks, testing and ventilation,” he said in Pakalniškės.
Meanwhile, VPAndriukaitis points out that in addition to all this, it is important that when their children return to school, their parents also take responsibility.
“Parents should get vaccinated themselves, parents should get vaccinated because they need to protect their children,” he said.
