State Secy Kovács Defends Purchase of Chinese and Russian Vaccines in CNN Interview
The coronavirus vaccine is not a political issue, but one of effectiveness and reliability, Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary in charge of international communications and relations, said in an interview to CNN on Monday.
Asked why Hungary was using Covid vaccines that have not been approved by the European Union, Kovács said both the Chinese and Russian vaccines were in use in many parts of the world, adding that Hungary trusted its scientists and doctors who have approved those jabs.
Kovács said that, when compared with the vaccination strategies of Israel and the United States, the EU’s strategy had failed.
