Turkish President Erdogan has probably already been vaccinated against the corona virus three times – if you believe his statements in an interview. Sharp criticism of it is loud.
Ankara – Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of Turkey, has apparently already received three corona vaccinations. The 67-year-old recently bragged about this in a TV interview. “After the three vaccinations, I checked whether my antibodies had risen or not – I have 2160, thank God,” said Erdogan to the TRT broadcaster.
His statements are currently making headlines because: They are memorable. The vaccination system in Turkey actually provides for two vaccinations against the corona virus, as in Germany. This does not seem to apply to the president, who, according to government reports, received his first vaccination in mid-January and his second vaccination in February. At that time, only the Chinese vaccine Sinovac was approved in the country, which Erdogan must have been injected with. In addition, there was now apparently a third vaccination, with which vaccine is unclear.
Erdogan vaccinated three times against corona? – The doctor is sharply critical
In Turkey, only 13 out of 80 million people are vaccinated. While many citizens have difficulty getting access to vaccination doses, Erdogan is already having the third one administered, criticized Enig Özkok, vice chairman of the CHP party in Ankara’s parliament. This is reported by the Tagesspiegel. This criticism was also shared by Mehment Ceyhan, Chairman of the Turkish Infectious Disease Association: There are currently no third-party vaccinations worldwide, according to Ceyhan. Politics must live up to its role model function. (do)
