Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said reopening the economy depends on implementing a successful vaccine drive.
In a video posted on social media after the first day of a European Union Porto Social Summit, PM Orbán said the main topics were “vaccine, inoculation, and the restarting the economy”. The body welcomed the World Health Organization’s decision to recommend another vaccine for use, he said, referring to the WHO’s decision to recommend the emergency use of Sinopharm.
The prime minister added that the body agreed they have to stand up to anti-vaxxers, and “we have to try to convince everyone in Europe to get the vaccine.” Reopening the economies hinges on the vaccine drive, he said.
