P. Polakis: We are not saying that you got a pistol, but it costs your obsession with the ideological policy for the NSS

“Stop waving your finger at us and being caught by words. We are making deep political criticism of you,” said SYRIZA MP Pavlos Polakis in his speech on the 2022 Budget. Referring to the issues that have arisen regarding the government’s response to the pandemic, the former Deputy Minister of Health stressed that “we are not telling you that you took any pistol, but it costs your ideological obsession against the public health system, with your deep class choice not to reinforce it, not to hire staff, not to use the new treatments that those who have received them have done better “.

Mr. Polakis, referring to the Tsiodra-Lyra study, said that it “removes the prime minister, not an irrelevant, but a conscious liar – because he knew her as they (the scientists) say in the media: they gave her for to take measures for the NSS “. This study, the MP said, says that from September 1, 2020 to May 6, 2021, 6,280 patients were intubated. Of these, 3,288 died, the others survived. And the study proves that 1,530 could have been saved, that is, it proves that those who were outside the ICU had 87% mortality and those who were inside had 60% (which is also a huge percentage). Noting that in the hospitals of Attica (Sotiria, Evangelismos, Sismanogleio, Laiko and Nikaia) the mortality rate is 30 to 35%, while in the Region (Edessa, Agrinio, Corfu, Veria, Xanthi, Corinth) it was 80% to 100%.

“But the most frightening of this study – stressed Mr. Polakis – is that from the data that come to light, that we ask for and do not give, is that from September 1, 2020 to May 6, 2021, in our country 10,576 patients died from covid, according to EODYY, so if we subtract the 3,988 who were intubated who died, either inside or outside the ICU, there are 6,588 patients left! Where did they die? by the former president of EKAB Mr. Tzanetis: 1,800 died in their homes, 800 reaching the ICU because there was no Primary Health Care and the rest in a covid clinic, in a ranch, alone, without relatives, without adequate doctors who were not enough “And with a little oxygen. That’s scary!” stressed the former Undersecretary. “If we reduce these figures to the current total of 19,700 deaths, 12,000 died the way I say!” completed.

The SYRIZA MP also recalled “one of the most beautiful mantinades of Cretan music and with a very nice purpose that says: Do you have a passion again? / What is your complaint? / And if a bitter smile / I see on your face” wanting to explain reaction that he had, when the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that the care inside and outside the ICU is the same. In fact, he added, that from 1990 to 2012, these 22 years approximately, he has taken ten of them to the hospitals on duty, 7 of these 10 years in the ICU and the years that he was in charge have passed from his hands. in the ICU, over 1,700 patients and lost 300 – and so he knows very well what you have to do to keep a patient alive.

Mr. Polakis also disagreed, with the report made this morning by the Deputy Minister of Finance, Theodoros Skylakakis, that today more money is given for Health than for the SYRIZA government. He finally accused the government of canceling the agreement to transfer Dunant Hospital to the NSS – which would mean 400 extra beds, plus 45 ICU beds.
