Ask for punishment of “antivax”
Agitation against vaccines should be seen as harm to society and state, therefore individuals should be held accountable for it, said Professor Vytautas Landsbergis at the meeting of the Council of the National Christian Democratic Union of Lithuania (TS -LKD) on Saturday.
“Until now, as a state, we did not classify these phenomena as criminal acts. We are friendly and polite here. Perhaps we too will suffer as a result. We do not restrict not only those tendencies, but also intentional agitation activities by force of law and order. Although it could be done. For example, agitation to not vaccinate should be seen as harm to society and the state. I would like this to be understood at the political and government level. The Seimas must act in this state, in a state of war, because we are at war, “warned V. Landsbergis.
