Coronavirus - Orban: Vaccine only defence against infection

No protective measure can shield people from contracting the coronavirus, only the vaccine can, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday. In a regular interview with public broadcaster Kossuth Radio, the prime minister noted that the Delta variant of the virus was more aggressive and infectious than its previous variants. Those who are inoculated against Covid are not in danger, he said, adding at the same time that the virus was life threatening to those who have not been vaccinated. Not only are they likely to get infected, but they will also likely end up seriously ill and in hospital, Orban warned, and encouraged everyone to get the vaccine.
