Sys – about 100 euros for a vaccine for the elderly: some people will stay in a fool’s place

“I find those offers strange, unless it was necessary to do it at first, but it would have cost a lot of money. And now, I don’t think it’s useful, “said a member of the Seimas on the Delfi television program” Delfi TV “.

In his opinion, the public’s reaction would be more negative than positive.

“I would say spoons in the afternoon because [tai] he will oppose society even more. Those who have been honestly vaccinated will be left in the fool’s place, ”said A. Sys.

At the time, Jurgita Sejonienė, a conservative member of the Seimas Health Affairs Committee, was convinced that all measures promoting vaccination are now appropriate and necessary.

“It is a great shame that we have had a day where people have to be bribed not to get sick and die from COVID-19,” he said.

According to J. Sejonienė, 27 million is enough. an amount of 1 million euros for lump sums.

“Let’s calculate how much it costs to treat critically ill patients with COVID-19: 50 thousand per patient. It seems to me, as many as there are, that it is too heavy a burden for the state. If there are more, all the other patients will suffer. I think that amount is adequate and the state can pay it, ”said J. Sejonienė.

The Seimas member says she partially agrees that older people already vaccinated may be disappointed by this situation, but hopes for your understanding.

“I am glad that a large number of people were aware and that it will be enough for them to properly assess the situation that if we do not vaccinate these people, hospitals are already approaching the point where some of them will no longer be able to do so. Provide scheduled services, ”said a member of the Health Committee.

“Lithuania has implemented many measures to promote vaccination and created many opportunities.” I definitely do not agree that there is nothing more to do now, because we will have overcrowded and dying hospitals, “he emphasized.

He remembered Nausėda’s words

Speaking about the slowdown in vaccination rates, Mr. Sys also emphasized the role of heads of state.

“I want to remind you that the vaccination rate was not bad until the president told us not to bend the stick. <…> First of all, I would like the first people to speak in a really responsible way, because they look at them, listen to them and then we need additional state spending to invite those people to get vaccinated, ”said a member of Seimas.

“You can see how the rate of vaccination has dropped after the words of the equation, but perhaps to please individual groups of people. And then the result: clogged beds [ligoninėse], people who should receive services for other illnesses may begin to die, that should not be the case, ”said A. Sysas.

In August, President Gitanas Nausėda described the government’s chosen tactic to vaccinate as many people as possible against feverish and forced COVID-19.

“At the moment, we are talking about bending the stick on forced vaccination, which is not even mandatory in its sense, but the incentives that have been created and some type of intimidation that has been ignited, such as not being able to access certain services essential., inability to access public transport. What about the fact that it was later canceled? “The fact of the confrontation happened before, the people were outraged and now we have to fight against the consequences, although we could fight against the causes,” the president said at the time.

According to Sys, if vaccination rates had been maintained, even more people would have been vaccinated today.

“Unfortunately, the sparrow flew off and the result is negative. This is first of all [reikia skatinti] In your example, it may even be necessary to bring the shaking by hand to the point of vaccination. The effect is likely to be more than one hundred euros ”, the Social Democrat is convinced.

The government is due to consider a lump sum proposal for newly vaccinated seniors on Wednesday, after which it will be decided by the Seimas.
