Adam Niedzielski: “Our prophylaxis has been neglected in recent years and the epidemic has revealed its disastrous consequences”
The Minister of Health was asked by the weekly “Sieci” whether the pandemic has brought Poland the so-called excess deaths, i.e. previously unknown losses in the population.
«The losses are huge and we are constantly looking for the causes. This applies to our entire region, the West has lost far fewer people. The culture of caring for one’s own health explains the most in this area. For example, there is a link between low mortality and influenza vaccination. It is not that these vaccines protect against COVID-19, but they are a signal of concern for your own health »- he emphasized.
The politician added: “If the wave of an epidemic hits a sick and neglected society, the death toll will be greater. We draw conclusions. Our prophylaxis has been neglected in recent years and the epidemic has revealed its disastrous consequences »- emphasized the head of the Ministry of Health.
In his opinion, the numbers – only for more than a year of the pandemic more than 140 thousand. excess deaths, including 70 directly because of COVID-19 – they reflect reality. «You have to accept it, but learn from it. Without this, each subsequent epidemic, and they will certainly be, will bring a similar tragic toll »- said Niedzielski.

Newsweek: “Officially there is no pandemic in Poland”
In an analysis of COVID-19 infection in Poland, the weekly recalled that the government abolished on May 13, 2022, the state of the epidemic that was introduced in Poland on March 20, 2020, explaining this step by “reducing the rapid spread of infections and the number of hospitalized people”.
«The government boasts that we have ten times less infections than on our western border. Except that the data is sucked from the finger and underestimated thanks to clerical tricks »- wrote Newsweek.
Meanwhile, the data from PEX PharmaSequence shows that on August 10, pharmacies sold 39,2 thousand. coronavirus antigen tests and the number of tests sold is growing.
«While at the beginning of July the total number of tests sold during the last week was around 70, at the beginning of August it was almost 250. However, none of these tests made it to the official statistics, ”we read.
As Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski noted in an interview with the weekly, it is obvious that in such a situation there will be less infections in official statistics.
«Only we doctors feel that it is on purpose. The authorities decided to “extinguish” the pandemic. And this was followed by the very specific actions of the testing system. Everyone can see that the pandemic is getting worse, but the figures say otherwise. Meanwhile, the government is not correcting the fact that the data is underestimated »- emphasized the expert.
