No one is using the coronavirus crisis as an excuse to impose mass vaccinations

Unfortunately, there is as yet no vaccination or cure for coronavirus. The EU has already mobilised €140 million for research towards a cure and vaccine. Vaccinations are one of the greatest successes of public health. Worldwide, it saves at least 2-3 million lives each year – and saves many more from crippling and lifelong illnesses. While the EU actively promotes that vaccines work, there are no plans to impose mass vaccinations. On the other hand, there are plenty of people spreading unscientific anti-vaccine claims. These claims prey on emotions and fear, causing significant harm to public health.
