Worries Around Sinopharm Resurface Following Low Antibody Tests
Worries around the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine have resurfaced after insufficient antibody levels were recorded in many people who received both vaccinations in Hungary. While those who defend the vaccine assert that people can still have cell immunity, there is increasing evidence that this is not the case. Those wishing to raise awareness on the issue have joined a Facebook group, sending letters to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Chief Medical Officer Cecília Müller, and Hungarian healthcare professionals.
There are more than 3.6 thousand members in the rapidly growing “People Vaccinated with Sinopharm with Negative Laboratory Tests,” closed Facebook group. The purpose of the group is to ensure testing and revaccination if necessary for people who have been vaccinated with the Sinopharm vaccine but have little to no antibodies in their immune system.
Renaming streets around the future site of China's Fudan University in 9th district has generated a great deal of buzz, both in Hungary and internationally.
Opposition Calls on Fidesz MP to Step Down for Voting While Allegedly Infected With COVID
Fidesz representative Zsolt Becsó was reported to the authorities by leftist green party Párbeszéd and the centrist Momentum Movement after voting in Parliament despite being infected with Covid. His vote helped Fidesz win the two-thirds majority it needed to pass a bill outsourcing most of Hungary’s universities to foundations.
Zsolt Becsó had no sense of taste or smell on April 27, the day that the government was set to vote on transfering the majority of Hungary’s public universities to foundations, but he went to vote on the bill anyway. After testing positive for Covid, he was sent into a mandated home quarantine.
