The lawyer says the question of the legality of government resolutions and restrictions came up for experts a year ago. And what is happening in the country right now is a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
“I call vaccination positive when I am convinced why it is necessary and detailed information is provided. But when a student cannot get an education and loses the right to study if he is not vaccinated or does not take an expensive test because most of the secondary schools do not provide distance education, so there is an obvious translation and the obligation to vaccinate. At the end of August last year we published the first issue of Advokatas magazine. In that issue we wrote: “We sacrifice freedom and rights for fear and security. “Even then, the whole magazine was devoted to the question of whether the management of the pandemic was legitimate or if everything was going well. In the second issue, we talked about the return of Big Brother, and we are visible everywhere , monitored and our data is collected. If I see violations of human rights or freedoms in the state, I speak about them, “says I. Vėgėlė.
According to the president of the council of lawyers, the decisions made by the government are detrimental to democracy and the Passport of Opportunities will be comparable to the Chinese system of public control.
“Do you know where the data comes from when the so-called Opportunity Passport is scanned? Ask the Registration Center. There are rumors that such data is being collected. (…) I think we’ve already given up some of the freedoms, but I really wouldn’t want to live in China, which we criticized a year ago. We have criticized their social credit system, according to which everyone can get a loan, the right services, can travel and the like. I’ve given you such a drastic example here, but, you know, it all starts small, in small steps. Little by little, we are collecting your data, finding out where you visit, little by little, that the data is linked to your refusals, and little by little an opinion is formed about the person as he is. There are limits everywhere and a certain privacy, as for social networks, we ourselves give up, but now that data tracking goes beyond the inviolability of privacy. And when those limits are crossed, we no longer advance towards a democratic state ”, the expert shares.
I. According to Vėgėlė, even if 100 percent were vaccinated. society, the government could not achieve universal immunity because the virus is constantly changing. According to him, mandatory vaccination should be limited to people at risk.
“Even in 10 years, all anti-vaccines have not affected vaccination policy as much as years of this mandatory vaccination. We are trying to achieve herd immunity in Lithuania. I am not a doctor, so I cannot say whether it is possible to do so or not, but I can quote the European leader of the World Health Organization (WHO), who says that we will not achieve herd immunity so quickly. change in virus. You see what Saulius Čaplinskas says, what other public health professionals say: both vaccinated and unvaccinated people get sick and transmit the virus. All efforts, all calls for vaccination must be aimed at the risk group, the elderly, who have difficulties transmitting the virus and infecting the health system. (…) Now we have reached 70%. vaccinated society and only because most young people who suffer from COVID-19 are usually mild. Statistically, there are only 8 cases of COVID-19 deaths in Lithuania in the 20-30 age group. “We are trying to achieve universal immunity by vaccinating those groups that will never close hospitals to us and restricting the right of those people to education, work, their dignity,” he said.
According to I. Vėgėlė, the government needs to talk to the people and seek more tools besides vaccination to manage the pandemic.
“I understand that we are illegally restricting human rights and freedoms. And we limit where there should be no limit. When a person is prohibited from going to the store to buy food, it is wrong. What we have to do is start talking and choosing only those tools that are really necessary to achieve the result. In order not to have another quarantine, in order not to refill the beds in the hospitals, we have to speak. Now we are divided on the impossibility and the division is like never before in Lithuania “, says I. Vėgėlė.
