What did Egyptian and German scientists say about the expected date of the new Corona virus "Covid-19", and what does it mean for the high numbers of infections so far? And what is the truth of the rumors about the vaccination of children?

We start from Egypt, where Dr. Mohamed Awad Taj El-Din, Advisor to the President of the Republic for Health Affairs, said that according to previous global experiences with such viruses, over time the virus weakens, and the mutated strains may not be severe, and then the virus begins to turn into a dominant respiratory virus. man deals with it.

He explained in a television statement that he believes that gradually, after the passage of 2021, the Corona virus will begin to recede in terms of severity and spread, but it will not disappear completely.

We move to Germany, where the epidemiologist Klaus Storr gave an optimistic view, expecting the end of the Corona pandemic and the return to normalcy in the country after next winter.

Expectations indicated that the Corona pandemic would end in Germany in the wake of next winter.

In statements to the local newspaper, "Münchner Merkur", published on Saturday (August 28, 2021) and quoted by Deutsche Welle, Stoere said, "As of spring, we will witness a very noticeable calm in the situation, and the pandemic will end at that, and in the summer there will be a completely normal situation again, despite some injuries."

And the German epidemiologist considered that the high numbers of Corona injuries so far “are an expected development and do not cause alarm.”

At the same time, Stoere expressed concern about the presence of more than 4 million people in his country over the age of 60 who have not yet received the Corona vaccine, and said that these are "completely vulnerable to infection with the virus."

He added that this "is sufficient in the winter to cause a dramatic increase in the cases of dangerous paths of the disease and hospital admissions, and this matter must be taken care of and the progress of the vaccination campaign should be improved," calling for giving priority to the booster vaccination doses and improving the vaccination rate in the care and nursing sector.

 Vaccination of children .. rumors spread

On the other hand, Le Monde newspaper said that with the start of the school year approaching, discussions about vaccinating young people against Covid-19 increased, especially in light of the continued spread of the mutated strain Delta that affects children.

This French newspaper reviewed misleading news about the vaccination of children, and refuted it:

1: 24,000 children are forcibly vaccinated in Australia

In mid-August, a video of Australian Health Minister Brad Hazzard, in the state of New South Wales, circulated widely on the Internet, in which he stated during a press conference on the sixth of August, "24,000 young people will be able to receive the vaccination in a stadium near from Sydney without their parents present.

The following was posted on some social networks: "In Australia, 24,000 children will be brought to the playground for vaccinations under the escort of the police, but parents do not have the right to enter."

Once again, this part of the news was truncated and did not include a reference to the obligation to vaccinate children or to impose it by force.

In Australia, only people over the age of 16 (with few exceptions) can receive the vaccination if they so desire.

Children between the ages of 12 and 15 will only be able to receive the vaccination from 13 September.

In his speech, the Australian minister did not talk about children in general, but rather addressed his words to "24,000 students" in fact.

He urged high school students to get vaccinated before end-of-year exams so they don't get sick, noting that this is an "opportunity" and they don't have to.

2: Pictures of a little girl snatched by nurses

Other pictures were circulated to promote the idea of ​​compulsory vaccination, most notably pictures of a young girl who was snatched by nurses and police officers from her father's hand.

According to French-speaking Belgian Radio and Television, the Victoria State Police confirms that "the scene has nothing to do with Covid-19, vaccination or health tests", but refuses to give more details out of respect for the privacy of those concerned.

3: Trips for primary pupils to vaccinate them without informing parents

In a video watched by more than 300,000 followers on Facebook, blogger Olive Olive - a former activist in the "yellow vest" movement - confirmed that primary schools "are already planning to organize school trips to vaccination centers", noting that 3 teachers "shocked and angry" confirmed The information is correct.

But this news is baseless.

Since June 15, France has opened the way for children aged 12-17 to be vaccinated, on a voluntary basis.

Parental consent is required for those between the ages of 12 and 15.

It is scheduled to launch vaccination campaigns with the return in secondary schools and colleges, to encourage adolescents to be vaccinated, and to remedy the delay that occurred in the vaccination of other age groups.

For his part, Minister Jean-Michel Blanquet said, "Mobile teams will be allocated for vaccination in educational institutions, or the movement of students on a voluntary basis to vaccination centers will be organized in coordination with the health services." And only middle and secondary schools are concerned with this matter. Since children under the age of 12 are not involved in the vaccination campaign, the vaccination campaigns will not include primary schools, according to what "Le Monde" quoted from the Ministry of National Education. This refutes news about school trips aimed at vaccinating primary school students without informing parents.
