Covid-19 disease can be prevented by 95 percent through vaccination.
This was emphasized to Ö1 by Viennese physician Christoph Wenisch, head of the infection department at the hospital Favoriten, who said that a vaccination could also prevent dramatic long-term consequences of an infection. Twelve percent of Corona intensive care patients who were able to work before the disease can no longer do so afterwards because of cognitive deficits.
“The brain doesn’t work that way anymore.” They are incapacitated for life, Wenisch reported. “That’s where livelihoods are destroyed.” The lungs, as a target organ for the viruses, can also suffer long-term damage, he said. With mRNA vaccination, no long-term consequences have been seen so far – “and are not expected,” Wenisch said.
Meanwhile, Karl Zwiauer, a member of the vaccination panel, spoke out in favor of vaccinating children in an interview with “Niederösterreich heute.””We don’t know of any childhood disease that is as burdensome as covid disease,” the pediatrician and head of the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at St. Pölten University Hospital told the ORF program.
Covid vaccination in children and adolescents between the ages of eleven and 17 has already been administered millions of times and one can assume “that the vaccination is really one of the very safe ones,” he said.
In addition, he said, the disease burden of children with Covid-19 should not be compared with that of adults, but rather conventional childhood diseases should be used as a comparison: “None of the conventional childhood diseases that can currently be controlled by vaccination has as great a disease burden as SARS-CoV2 infection,” Zwiauer affirmed.
