Announced an Increase in Coronavirus Cases in Children

Health Sciences University Gülhane Training and Research Hospital Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialist Assoc. Dr. Ümit Savaşçı announced that the number of coronavirus cases in children has increased. Savaşçı says that this situation causes children to experience vitamin D deficiency because they have been at home for 2 years, to be immobile and they did not pay attention to some rules in schools.

Assoc. Dr. Ümit Savaşçı stated that there are concerns about the side effects of the vaccine and said: “A very good study has been done in England on this subject. Only 28 deaths occurred as a result of the 98 million doses of mRNA vaccine. If we look at our daily death cases, unfortunately, close to 300 people lose their lives. Unfortunately, there were 28 unintended deaths in all of the UK’s vaccinations.“

‘Side effect cases are not events that will result in hospitalization, intensive care and loss of life’

“Some of them may be unvaccinated; They may have had a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage. But The number of cases in terms of side effects is really low. Of course there are some side effects. But none of this is an event that will result in hospitalization, intensive care and loss of life. So let’s get our vaccinations done. Because unfortunately, very sad events happen to us.”

“Our 20-year-old youth, who may be obese, comes to the level of being in intensive care within 3-5 days. This is very sad for us. In particular, there is an increase in the number of pediatric cases. Of course, our children have been at home for 2 years. They can’t get vitamin D, they do not move, the immune system is also suppressed. Because they do not pay attention to some rules at school, they can also get the virus.”

‘The biggest responsibility of the society is to have everyone vaccinated when it’s their turn’

“Unfortunately, we can have that kind of children that we send to intensive care. In this regard, the biggest responsibility of the society is actually the families; Everyone who is vaccinated is vaccinated. Especially if 2 doses are needed, even a 3rd or 4th dose should be given. because Israel has now mandated the 3rd dose of mRNA vaccine. After all, if a state like Israel can make it compulsory for its people, we need to have it done as much as possible without disrupting the vaccination program.”

“Especially after a foreign company turned to vaccine studies, it also gave importance to pharmaceutical studies. The result of a drug study that we have been waiting for with hope, which makes us very happy, has emerged. Molnupiravir is an active ingredient. Of course, both the production capacity will remain low, and developed countries have demanded this drug in large quantities.”

“I do not think that it will have a major impact on society or this epidemic at the moment, as it unfortunately does not reach many countries in terms of cost. our here our most important weapon Both the current vaccines we have and the gains we will gain with our domestic vaccines.”
