Nerijus Vitkauskas, a member of the Freedom Party, criticized the Freedom Faction’s intention to introduce an immunity passport as soon as possible.
“I am publicly distancing myself from the proposals to introduce an immunity passport. I immediately want to apologize to my colleagues and friends for the public escalation of tensions and disagreements in the community, but they have left me no other option. I support like-minded people on many topics, but not this one.
I understand that this is a group initiative, not a party initiative, but there is not much difference in the eyes of the public, so I do not want to get involved in any way. I hope you forgive me, especially because when we joined the party we agreed that openness and transparency are the values we promise to adhere to, ”wrote N. Vitkauskas on the social network Facebook.
“Seasonality will hit the coronavirus hard”
According to a member of the Freedom Party, seasonality will deal a severe blow to the coronavirus, so the introduction of an immunity passport will be a waste of time and resources.
“Comparing the data from last year, we see that a little more and seasonality will hit the crowns hard. We won’t even be able to organize immunity passports when we have to free everything and everyone. So I think it’s a waste of energy, resources. and time.
It is also a kind of coercive measure against people who, of their own free will, decide to take risks to their own health, or do not have the opportunity, or simply cannot get vaccinated for other reasons. And these people don’t put you at risk for a serious form of the disease if you decide to vaccinate yourself.
In making such decisions, Freedom Group is on a very dangerous path, sacrificing freedom in small steps. No regime, total public control and other horrors of humanity started overnight. It is the result of many small struggles for freedom lost.
The trends in the world are moving in this direction, so I ask that freedom be preserved and appreciated in every way possible by being on guard every day, because to get it back and realize that we can be free again, it will take many years, “said a member of the Freedom Party.
The Freedom Group is lobbying for Dust: Immunity passport must be presented immediately
We have already announced how, following a meeting with Health Minister Arūnas Dulkis, Freedom Group states that an immunity passport should be introduced in the near future. This would accelerate the opening of businesses and access to services for people vaccinated, sick or tested.
Ieva Pakarklytė, the largest of the Freedom Faction, announced the meeting with the Minister and her proposals.
“We have just finished the meeting of the Freedom Faction with the Minister of Health Arūnas Dulkis. Freedom Group proposes the introduction in the near future of an immunity passport and the exemptions associated with quarantine restrictions, linked not only to vaccination but also to acquired immunity in case of illness or negative test result. In such a case, the state could reimburse the costs of conducting the test, “wrote I. Pakarklytė on Facebook.
According to him, in terms of vaccination, we are approaching a period of mass vaccination, in which faster vaccination will be hampered not by the insufficient number of vaccines received, but by the capacity of the e-health system.
“Therefore, in preparation for mass vaccination, the state must guarantee an e. Health functioning and the required systemic capacity.
The Freedom Group is particularly concerned about the state of mental and emotional health in society. We have repeatedly raised the question of the deterioration of people’s emotional well-being, as well as the systemic transformations in the field of mental health: the plan for the transformation and development of mental health services and their implementation.
We agreed that we will organize a separate Freedom Faction meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Health on mental health issues, ”announced I. Pakarklytė.
“Freedom Faction proposes the immediate introduction of an immunity passport and related quarantine restrictions, which are related not only to vaccination, but also to acquired immunity in the event of illness or a negative test result”, Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius , a member of Freedom Faction, wrote on Facebook.
Members of the group say that most of society needs to be vaccinated in order to handle a pandemic, but it is important to consider what challenges this process may pose.
“In order not to waste time and vaccinations, it is very important to be able to move flexibly and quickly between priority vaccination groups. If we see that vaccination is slow or is waiting for a particular vaccine in a population group, we cannot stagnate. Municipalities should be given more flexibility to move through priority groups. Also in preparation for mass vaccination, the state must guarantee an e. health functioning and the necessary systemic capacity ”, says I. Pakarklytė.
The current restrictions were also discussed during the meeting. Members of the group highlighted the challenges facing the education sector and emphasized that the Ministries of Health and Education, Science and Sport must come up with a plan that allows students to return to school at least for a short time later this school year. This is especially true when thinking not only of student achievement, but also of their emotional state.
“It has been more than a year since the first quarantine was announced. Of particular concern is the state of mental and emotional health in society. We have repeatedly raised the issue of the deterioration of the emotional well-being of people, as well as of the Systemic transformations in the field of mental health: the plan for the transformation and development of mental health services and its implementation. We fear that the management of the pandemic will not marginalize the mental health of the public, “said Morgana Danielė, member of the group.
