Dramatic appeal to all citizens of Kythera to rush to get vaccinated against the new coronavirus, that causes the disease COVID-19, addressed by the mayor of Kythera, Eustratios Charhalakis.
In a message on his Facebook profile, Mr.Harhalakis criticizes all those who try to prevent the ordinary people from being protected by the vaccine against the disease and does not hesitate to talk about «professional conspiracy theorists and pseudoscientists» who attempt to negatively influence public opinion on the issue of vaccination. He recommends trusting «only official state authorities», describing trust in science as «a supreme act of Christian love». He excludes only those scientists who resort to speculation because of a lack of knowledge of the subject, which, he says, «requires extremely deep expertise within the medical profession».

«VACCINATE!
WE DON'T LISTEN TO THE DANGEROUS CONSPIRACY THEORISTS AND PSEUDO-SCIENTISTS!
Responding to the call of the Ministry of Interior and the KEDE, I publicly urge and encourage all of us to trust science and to take the coronavirus vaccine. To trust only the competent state authorities, the EODY and the Civil Protection and NO ONE else, who either out of ignorance, semi-literacy or selfishness spreads pseudo-scientific and unsubstantiated opinions about the virus and vaccines.
Even if one is a doctor, one cannot spread speculation or opinions on a subject that requires extremely deep expertise within the medical profession.
In cases of people who have nothing to do with science and who try to dissuade people from vaccination, the only competent authority is the public prosecutor. Their graphic nature has gone beyond all precedent and the state authorities must intervene immediately.
At the same time, we need to rethink key aspects of the education system, which has a duty not just to impart knowledge, but to cultivate our critical thinking so that we reject the conspiracy theories and pseudo-scientific cries that, unfortunately, a large part of the world believes.
With the exception of our fellow citizens who should consult their doctor before getting vaccinated due to specific health issues, I believe that the only responsible attitude of the rest of us is to get vaccinated.
We do NOT take into account professional conspiracy theorists and pseudoscientists.
We do NOT listen to people who are irrelevant to the issue.
We do NOT identify with the opinions of people who have no competence in vaccination issues.
Trusting in Science is a supreme act of Christian love because Science is HOLY.
WE TRUST ONLY THE OFFICIAL STATE AUTHORITIES, THE EUDY, THE GPP.
GET VACCINATED - TAKE BACK OUR LIVES - PROTECT OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS AND OURSELVES!»
