Re: Covid-19, Lockdown and repercussions

I just stumbled upon this photo. You can easily notice that most European countries are doing relatively well, except for most Balkan countries, except Greece. Unfortunately, Russia, founder of the Sputnik vaccine, isn't doing so well.

Russian users have already explained this. There is a lot of hesitancy in Russia against the vaccine and they are probably the only country where there is an oversupply of the COVID vaccine. If I am not wrong, less than 20% have received at least one dose of the vaccine in Russia. On the other hand, countries like Argentina mostly rely on vaccines imported from Russia, and they have managed to achieve a vaccination rate of close to 50%. And the rates haven't improved in Russia, despite the recent spike in infections/deaths.

one of the barriers to vaccination is the amount of fake news circulating in the community. there is a lot of fake news deliberately created by irresponsible people so that people are afraid to receive vaccines. maybe this is what is happening in Russia right now, and of course it is also happening in many other countries.

It's true what you say is also happening in Indonesia they are spreading false news about the impact of vaccines on our bodies,
Of course this is very disturbing because some people believe in it,
After all, the government of each country needs to overcome this so as not to cause chaos

Wonder what kind of news people spread in the country about the vaccines. Are you sure there aren't some truth in them? I hardly hear people complain about the their bodies reaction to the vaccine thesedays compared to the early stage of the vaccination, maybe they are becoming scared of what people would say considering how hostile some are becoming toward the vaccine fear mongers.
A cousin once complained seriously in the early stages after her vaccination, but these days people just say everything is fine even before you finish asking them how they felt after taking the vaccine.

There's a lot of conspiracy theories around vaccinations, I'm seeing it here in Greece too, and trust me, it's a real issue, which is halting vaccinations. I think we're close to reaching the maximum capacity, new vaccination rates have fallen over 50-60%. That's a concerning issue, because at least for Greece, we only have 55% of fully vaccinated people over 18 years old.
