Health Sciences University Gülhane Training and Research Hospital Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialist Assoc. Dr. Ümit Savaşçı announced that the number of coronavirus cases in children has increased. Savaşçı attributed this situation to the fact that the children were deficient in vitamin D since they had been at home for 2 years, were sedentary and did not pay attention to some rules in schools.
Assoc. Dr. Ümit Savaşçı stated that there are concerns about the side effects of the vaccine and said: “A very good study was carried out in England on this subject. Only 28 deaths occurred as a result of the 98 million doses of mRNA vaccine. If we look at our daily death cases, unfortunately, close to 300 people lose their lives. Unfortunately, there were 28 unintended deaths in all of the UK’s vaccinations. “
‘Side effect cases are not events that will result in hospitalization, intensive care and loss of life’
“Some of them may be unvaccinated; They may have had a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage. But the number of cases in terms of side effects is really low. Of course there are some side effects. But none of this is an event that will result in hospitalization, intensive care and loss of life. So let’s get our vaccinations done. Unfortunately, very sad things happen. ”
“Our 20-year-old youth, who may be obese, comes to the level of being in intensive care within 3-5 days. This is very sad for us. In particular, there is an increase in the number of pediatric cases. Of course, our children have been at home for 2 years. They can’t take vitamin D, they don’t move, their immune system is also suppressed. Because they do not pay attention to some rules at school, the virus can also be caught. ”
‘The biggest responsibility of the society is to have everyone vaccinated when it’s their turn’
“Unfortunately, we can have that kind of children that we send to intensive care. In this regard, the biggest responsibility of the society is actually the families; Everyone who is vaccinated is vaccinated. Especially if 2 doses are needed, even a 3rd or 4th dose should be given. Because Israel has now required the third dose of mRNA vaccine. After all, if a state like Israel can make it compulsory for its people, we should have it done as much as possible without disrupting the vaccination program. ”
“Especially after a foreign company turned to vaccine studies, it also gave importance to pharmaceutical studies. The result of a drug study that we have been waiting for with hope, which makes us very happy, has emerged. Molnupiravir is an active ingredient. Of course, the production capacity will remain low, and developed countries have demanded this drug in large quantities. ”
“Unfortunately, in terms of cost, I do not think that it will have a major impact on society or this epidemic at the moment, since it cannot reach many countries. Our most important weapon here is the current vaccines we have, as well as the gains we will gain with our domestic vaccines. ”
