Romania is vaccinating at one of the fastest rates in the EU, but this is also causing resistance. The campaign is hampered by people talking about “immunization genocide”, “muzzles”, “dictatorship” and all sorts of dizzying plots, says DW.
There are no more priority groups, vaccination is possible even without an appointment. On Sunday, there were already 4 million vaccinated – about ¼ of the total population. But otherwise the pandemic hit the already neglected health care: many intensive care units were desperately crowded, and some hospitals even had tragic fatal accidents. At the moment, the situation seems to be stabilizing, the number of new infections is decreasing, and the number of patients in the intensive care units is decreasing.
At the anti-wax demonstration in Bucharest, one could hear all sorts of nonsense: about Bill Gates’ plans to chip people, about the impending apocalypse, or about the secret plans of the Hungarian government in Transylvania. A protester in a white protective suit with a yellow Star of David, which reads “Stop the immunization genocide”, stands out. In principle, he himself was not against vaccinations, the man told the State Gazette: “But this is genocide here. These are not classic vaccinations, but genetically modified preparations, which they put under full control.” The goal was clear: to radically reduce the world’s population.

Hundreds of anti-vaxers protested in Bucharest against what they call a “medical dictatorship” with waving national flags, crucifixes and Orthodox icons. The demonstrators even claim that it was thanks to their pressure that the government announced the repeal of some of the measures last week.
Moreover, they claim that this was their “victory”. But they remained vigilant because they were convinced that it was just a trap. Instead of “muzzles”, now came the “compulsory vaccination” (because of the immunization certificate), which again restricted people’s rights, as some demonstrators chanted in megaphones at the end of the week.
