For the virologist Christian Drosten, rapid progress in vaccination is the decisive factor for getting out of the pandemic.
"It's now about the sausage on the organizational level, on the logistical level," said the head of virology at the Berlin Charité in the anniversary broadcast of the "Coronavirus Update" published on Friday.
The NDR Info podcast was broadcast for the first time a year ago.
Vaccine will soon be available in significant quantities.
Confidence in the vaccine will grow.
“I am quite sure that large sections of the population would willingly be vaccinated.
But there is a lot to organize, ”said Drosten.
“I think it's a bit naive to think that everything will work out in sequence, like clockwork.” For Drosten, one thing is clear: “We can only get out of the pandemic this way.” The time corridor is decisive: "Can we make it roughly by summer or will it take until the end of the year."
