Orban: Vaccinations crucial for 'our life, freedom'

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, addressing lawmakers on Monday, said that Hungary's strategy for beating the coronavirus pandemic would depend on its vaccination campaign. Orban said vaccinations were the only effective way to tackle the virus, adding that after Hungary's experiences gained after three waves of the epidemic it had become clear that restrictions and masks were not up to the job of defeating or even slowing down the virus. But if there are enough people who have been vaccinated, a normal life can be maintained, Orban said.
