Mushroom parodies Babiš: Enough confusion! Prague wants a general practitioner for vaccinations
Grandma used a crystal ball in video from the park at the Straka Academy, where the government is based, last August. “I found out I had to go on vacation. All colleagues say that I am already unbearable and should drop out, “he said, adding that” he sees very good news for our country. ” Half a year later, following the Prime Minister’s example, he tries to read Hřib, as will be the case with vaccination by general practitioners. But of course it doesn’t work…
If it weren’t for the serious thing, the lives and health of (not only) the population at risk of coronavirus infection, it could be funny. However, Babiš’s original and Hřib’s parody are not really funny at all.
“Mr. Prime Minister, enough of this confusion and utterly chaotic crisis management! We need a clear plan at government level that you will follow and that we can rely on in the region. We need reliable information that we can follow and that will not change from day to day! ”The mayor of Prague told Babiš via the official Facebook page.
Uncertainties in the competence of the head of the YES movement when he denied the statement of the South Moravian governor Jiří Grolich (KDU-ČSL) that the government forbade “practitioners” to vaccinate against covid in surgeries. According to Hřiba, conflicting information has been circulating since the premiere of Babiš. The individual regions do not know exactly what the involvement of general practitioners will look like. Whether patients will be able to report for vaccination through the state reservation system.
“We’re preparing something and you’re going to say it’s all different?”
“We are planning something here according to the assignment and in accordance with the official plan (approved by the government), we are preparing – and then you will say that it is not on the agenda and everything is different?”
The mayor of the capital claims that the vaccines from AstraZeneca, which are suitable due to food storage and vaccination in general practitioners’ surgeries, should arrive as early as Monday, February 8. According to Radiožurnál, the first doses will arrive even at the weekend and there will be a large number of them (roughly twenty thousand). According to information from the health committee of the Chamber of Deputies, a total of three million doses have been ordered by the Czech Republic, and another twelve million are to be received from Pfizer.
28,000 seniors aged 80+ have already been vaccinated in Prague, which is more than half of this population in Prague! We know this based on data analysis from our Golemio data platform. ?https://t.co/PfrHMxvkGE

However, as he stated web iRozhlas.cz the regional coordinators do not yet have enough information and a vaccine distributor has not yet been selected. Even due to the absence of a government strategy, scandals with protective vaccinations arise – the last time the media wrote that the director of the Prague police, Tomáš Lerch, also received a vaccine. Mushroom intends to solve a rather confusing situation at Thursday’s meeting with the Ministry of Health Jan Blatný (for YES).
Instead of a specific reaction, Babiš improves his PR by visiting the Thomayer University Hospital in Krč. “So far, they have a capacity of 600 people a day, but of course they are preparing for the second quarter, where we could reach 100,000 vaccinated people a day nationwide,” he tweeted.
In addition to the allegations directed against Babiš, the mayor boasted that Prague was fulfilled and the team led by the health councilor Milena Johnová (Prague herself) managed the first round of vaccinations in nursing homes without complications. According to data from the Golemio city platform, 28,000 seniors over the age of 80 have been vaccinated in the metropolis, which is more than half of this population in Prague.
Prague should have its own register, the opposition claims
However, this number may be skewed by the fact that in vaccination centers (usually in teaching hospitals run by the Ministry of Health), people who live in other parts of the country also have a coronavirus vaccine injected.
According to information from the Prague Daily, the municipality is now finding out which of the general practitioners wants to vaccinate with the AstraZeneca vaccine and is able to provide this service for immobile patients at home. The metropolitan management also plans to involve the city districts. The mushroom refers to the information website ockovani.praha.eu as well as to the municipal line 800 160 166. However, the opposition argues that the “vaccination website” is only a duplicate of the central reservation system.
“Prague should have had its own vaccination register for all those interested. We would avoid clientelism, we would have real data, who is interested in vaccinations. The cost to IT of a city and city companies is in the hundreds of millions. They are hidden in a confusing system of click-through budgets, “wrote Tomáš Portlík, chairman of the Prague ODS and deputy mayor of Prague 9, on a Twitter account.
