Dr. Yahya Abdel-Momen Makki, professor of virology and a former expert at the World Health Organization, considered that the decision to compulsorily give Corona vaccinations is a right decision because Covid-19 disease does not have an effective treatment so far.

And he added in an interview with the evening program on Al Jazeera Mubasher, “Austria is the first country to force its citizens to take the vaccine, and France has not yet imposed it, but it was content with advising it in light of the significant increase in the number of infections, and it will start vaccinating children next week, as the vaccine is effective and useful and protects lives, peoples and the economy.” .

He continued, "If France, for example, had not vaccinated nearly 60 million of its population, a major disaster would have occurred in deaths, injuries and overcrowding in hospitals in this fifth wave of the outbreak."

And he added, "I am for forcing peoples to get vaccinated, because if a severe outbreak occurred in poor countries that already suffer from a scarcity of vaccines, it would be a disaster and a stigma for all countries."

And the World Health Organization had announced that compulsory vaccination against the Corona virus should remain a last resort, days after the President of the European Commission called on the European Union countries to discuss the issue of compulsory vaccination.

Countries around the world, including European countries, are seeking to impose new measures to confront the mutated Omicron, which raises concern because of what is believed to be its ability to spread rapidly.

Austria was the first European country to announce mandatory vaccination for all its citizens, starting next February.

Dr. Yahya Abdel-Momen believes that the Health Organization made this appeal so that the rich countries, which acquired 90% of the vaccines, would distribute them fairly to countries and peoples.

double immunity

Regarding the British study that demonstrated the efficacy of vaccination with two different doses of vaccines, he said, "In the laboratory in which I work, we studied the combination of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines, or Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, and we proved that whoever received the Pfizer vaccine first and then another vaccine, this is very useful."

He explained, "Each company chose a piece of amino acids in the genes of the virus that controls the envelope protein that sticks to the cells of the lung, heart or kidney, infecting them, multiplying in them and destroying them, and we proved that using two different vaccines produces two types of antibodies to different parts of the virus, which means double protection."

He continued, "Therefore, I advise those who received the Pfizer vaccine, for example, to take the second or third dose from another company."
