With the opening of the schools, the decisions taken earlier began to be controlled a little more tightly. As a result, some undesirable situations occurred on Monday. For example, the groom who is missing his vaccination could not go to his honeymoon. I think it means taking the job a little lightly to evaluate this event by saying 'we don't care, If he couldn't go there'. Marriage is one of the most important events in everyone's life. As such, it has become common to go to the beaches and spend a few days alone after the wedding in recent years. As such, people don't even want to think about the shock, or let's call it disappointment, of the new groom's inability to board the plane because his vaccination is missing. It can be said that what happened, they postpone their honeymoon and spend the first days of their marriage at home. All this means taking things a little lightly.
 
Let me just point out that the application seems to have not been sufficiently announced to the community that it will start with all its dimensions on Monday. Because if it had been announced, I think the newly married couple would not have gone to the airport and would have completed the necessary deficiencies. If the incident was caused by the carelessness of the groom's brain even though the practice was known, we hope that this aspect of the business will not create a negative effect on their marriage for the future. This event, which was reflected in yesterday's newspapers, may have contributed to the understanding of the extent of the practice in society. However, in the fight against the epidemic in the society, the focus has been on the opening of schools in the last days, other than that, it seems that life continues as before.
 
Let me point out right away, shouldn't the opening of schools be waited for such applications to be started? Because the protection of children from the epidemic depends on the compliance of the whole society with certain rules. Because everyone in the society can fall into the situation of contaminating the epidemic. At this point, it is insistently emphasized that the most important element in the fight against the epidemic is vaccination. In fact, employees who have not completed their vaccinations are required to either complete their vaccinations or have them tested twice a week. As such, it is even on the agenda for those who have not been vaccinated or who avoid getting tested, losing their jobs. In such a situation, the statements of some officials that we will not be coercive in vaccination do not make any sense. It is not possible to understand why these practices were left to the opening of schools, since the indirect vaccination has started to be forced. Because it would be wrong to say that the only people affected by the epidemic and those who spread the epidemic are our children and young people alone. Since there is an epidemic and it is being carried out by the responsible people that vaccination is the most effective struggle in this regard, then why have problems in vaccination been on the agenda for months, why hasn't the vaccine connection been made on time and enough, and it hasn't been done?
 
Let me just say that, whether we call it social media or the virtual world, our people have been handed over to the rumors spread around here. Some of the people, under the influence of these rumors, developed an attitude against the vaccine. However, a clear stance could have been taken in the face of these gossip from the beginning and its effect could have been prevented. Let's say that these could not be done, it could have been conveyed to the society that the latest practices would be seriously put into practice, in short, it could have been announced. If it had been announced and the necessary sensitivity had been shown, a passenger who got off the bus because there was a single dose of vaccine said, “My second dose is on September 17. I didn't know about this rule.” However, I think that the decisions that concern the whole society are put into practice from night to day, causing such disruptions.
