Anti-vaxxers are ‘dangerous fools’ – Kremlin
Those who refuse to get vaccinated against Covid-19 and actively attempt to convince others to reject jabs are “dangerous fools,” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary said on Sunday.
Dmitry Peskov was speaking to a special TV program about the second year of living with Covid-19, alongside other government officials. When asked his opinion about anti-vaxxers, Putin’s spokesman did not equivocate.
“Dangerous fools. That’s two words. Just one word cannot express it,” he told the TV host Nailya Asker-Zade.
The country’s Minister of Health, Mikhail Murashko, dubbed those who refuse to be vaccinated “unreasonable,” while Anna Popova, head of Russia’s health watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, suggested that opponents of the jab are “stricken with fear.”
The program comes as Russia battles its latest wave of Covid-19 infections. Officials in Russia have tried for months to convince vulnerable citizens to get vaccinated against the virus, but the level of take-up has remained lower than in many other comparable countries. According to Murashko, just 62% of Russians older than 60 have received their first dose – still far behind the national goal of 80% fully vaccinated.
Asker-Zade also asked some medical professionals for their sentiments on the anti-vaxxer movement and received some stronger opinions. Andrei Shkoda, the chief doctor at Moscow’s City Clinical Hospital No. 67, described the phenomenon as “militant ignorance,” while the deputy chief physician at another Moscow medical facility, Sergey Tsarenko, called its believers simply “idiots.”
As things stand, five different vaccines against Covid-19 have been registered in Russia, including Sputnik V, the world’s first approved coronavirus jab.

agree.
I don't believe 80 % of the world's population are vaxxed (don't remember where I read that exactly).
EU regulator approves fifth Covid-19 vaccine
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended the use of a Covid-19 vaccine made by US-based biotech firm Novavax for people aged 18 and older. Trial data suggests the vaccine is 90% effective.

Blaze erupts as truck slams US military convoy on German highway
A truck crashed into a US military vehicle in the German province of Bavaria Monday, forcing eight soldiers to a local hospital for precautionary screening, according to a report.
The military truck was on the shoulder of the A3 highway near Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz — about 20 miles southeast of Nuremberg — when it was rear-ended by the civilian rig, the Associated Press said.
German police said the crash appeared to be an accident.
The Army truck was part of a convoy traveling from Hohenfels towards Grafenwoeher and pulled over when it became separated from the rest of the vehicles, the 7th Army Training Command said.
A total of three Army vehicles were damaged in the crash, the command added.
Images show the military truck engulfed in flames as thick clouds of black smoke rise into the sky and firefighters respond to the scene.
Other photos show the charred vehicles cloaked in white firefighting foam after the flames were knocked down.
