Accessories are provided for additional work
The 11-minute recording begins with an address to “Lithuanian Doctors, Nurses, Nurses”. When seeing that “people are intimidated, persecuted and under psychological pressure”, the authors of the post did not appear (although the voice of a person is heard, speaks plural, the name of a person appears on the screen a couple of times and the vague message “. only you can” but it is not said that he is the author) invites the hospital staff not to remain silent. “We know that he has signed contracts for COVID-19, and that is why we must keep quiet and not announce what what is happening in hospitals. We know that you have a raised salary or extra money, “explains the male voice.

Due to the increased workload to manage the pandemic in March-June of this year, 24.5 million were allocated to medical salary supplements. euros.
The exact salary is determined by the head of the institution in accordance with the principle of equality, the Remuneration Regulations and other documents. In addition to receiving money from the PSDF budget, it is mandatory to increase the salaries of doctors. It is true that medical institutions do not receive funds for this directly. PSDF funds are used to increase the prices of health services, that is, it allows to earn more and increase salaries with the additional funds received. SAM claimed that it does not have the ability to directly determine and regulate the wages of healthcare workers.
However, at the initiative of the Ministry, an interactive map of the average salary of the medical institutions was prepared, which allows the transparent and objective publication of information on the average salaries of the personnel of the different medical institutions. Also, the increased costs due to the needs of COVID-19 are not intended to lead to a reduction in wages. “Understanding the financial burden that medical institutions have incurred in the acquisition of goods, services and works for the management of the pandemic, SAM has made significant efforts to recover the costs incurred by medical institutions,” said the portal. 15 minutes in the answers provided.
At the end of this year, 41 million have been earmarked to offset the anticipated needs. of funds from the European Union (EU). In February-June, the government also allocated LTL 13.2 million to cover costs incurred by medical institutions. euros.
Influenza morbidity statistics have not been transferred to other locations
The authors of the publication teach that they have “many examples of how money is offered for people to sign the body of a deceased person taking a deceased person from COVID-19.” The procedure for issuing a medical death certificate is established by an order signed by the Minister of Health in 1998. In June of this year, the procedure for the organization of the provision of personal health services in case of emergency, approved by the then Minister Aurelijus Veryga, determines when the autopsy of the deceased is performed.
According to this document, pathological anatomical examinations of hospital deaths that have been diagnosed or suspected of having COVID-19 are not performed in a medical institution. Deaths requiring autopsy are screened for coronavirus infection by removing material from the body with minimal intervention. Pathological anatomical examination is carried out only after a negative result.
“We also realize that after testing, people can be credited with having COVID-19 even though they don’t. This is how the current situation is manipulated, because a person receives results only after one day and thus the number of patients increases “, explains the entry. According to SAM, 75-80 percent. Test results are entered into the eHealth Information System (ESPBI IS) within 36 hours. Of sampling. “There is no possibility of the aforementioned manipulation, the result obtained is integrated into the e-health information system”, emphasized the representatives of the ministry.
The authors of the publication found “confirmation” that the COVID-19 morbidity statistics were distorted. Statistics on the incidence of influenza and acute upper respiratory tract infections have been regularly available on the website of the Center for Communicable Diseases and AIDS (ULAC) since 2007. The last table was uploaded here on May 18 of this year . “Show that (coronavirus – Past ed.). Stopped the flu. All the flu was spread by COVID-19, “he said.

“A complete lie,” said the portal 15 minutes ULAC spokesperson Zigmas Nagys assured. According to him, the National Public Health Center (NVSC) was instructed to summarize the weekly data on influenza cases registered by order of the Ministry of Health since October last year. You must also provide the Ministry of Health, the competent authorities and the media with data on hospital admissions. Therefore, Z. Nagys suggested looking for the data on the NVSC website instead of ULAC.
The authors of the post claim to understand the situation of medical personnel and the fear of losing their jobs and income, but they see “discrepancies and manipulations”, so they invite you to film everything that happens in hospitals and send them. “We will present it anonymously. If you speak during filming, we will change your voice so that we cannot identify you. If possible, please send a copy of the signed COVID-19 silence agreement. We will present it to the public ”, they promise.
Several statements by politicians were suspicious
However, most “programs” are dedicated to coronavirus vaccines. The authors of the post take viewers to the Seimas session, where the situation around COVID-19 and the vaccine test, which has not yet been completed, were discussed. An article is displayed with the title stating that the Pfizer vaccine is 90% effective.

“What about the people who will not receive this vaccine? – asks the voice behind the frame rhetorically. – How many times will he have to be vaccinated? Who will be responsible for side effects? Will a contract be signed? the health of our children if the vaccine does not work or even causes side effects? And how many times will it be necessary to be vaccinated? ”The answers to these questions can be found in the database on COVID-19 vaccines created by Lithuanian scientists and doctors.
When asked by Professor Vytautas Kasiulevičius, who participated in the session, if a member of the Seimas Emanuelis Zingeris asked if we should wait until we receive the vaccines from the EU gift basket, he replied: “I think we must act as soon as possible and territory, even in the absence of its registration. Because the registration process sometimes takes time. Because the vaccine will be checked (…) ”.
The author of the post was met with a call to rush to buy vaccines, although they have not yet been approved. There are also articles in which the representative of the previous ruling majority, Gediminas Kirkilas, stated that “100 million. The future Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė said that what reminds her today of 2008 – that there is no money for the second quarantine.
“What is happening here? Here I think that the forces of order should listen well and evaluate the whole situation that is being proposed, it is an act of corruption that is taking place here”, explains the voice behind the scenes. A person surprised by the rhetoric of politicians does not seem to have realized that they sometimes share unreasonable promises too hastily or deliberately, avoiding strong phrases and criticism of opponents. “They say we have money for vaccines, and I Šimonytė, which has already been elected to power, says no money has been allocated. So what is happening here? Some want to launder 100 million, while others say no, “he is surprised.
However, vaccines are already traveling to Lithuania and should arrive in our country on Saturday, and the vaccination of people, first of all, doctors working in health institutions, is scheduled to start on Sunday morning.
