Hungary: Government uses vaccine campaign to lash out at political opponents

Because of course they do. Why wouldn't they. There are reasons to be wary about the Russian and Chinese vaccines. There might be nothing wrong with them (or rather nothing more wrong than there are with Western vaccines), but most countries has done the smart thing and waits for EMA approval. Hungary though is soloing and has already bought both Sptunic V and Sinopharm. And when an expert warned that this might jeopardize public trust in vaccines, the Orbanist media immediately started to call him a murderer, claiming he was leading an "anti- vaccination campaign". Opposition politicians that has urged people to choose Western vaccines and wait for EMA approval of the Chinese and Russian vaccines has been labeled traitors by the Orbanists.
