intuition reached in the bundesliga and from here on out we get down to business by almost champion. definitely regulated good bye to the 1st league. between 1st and league teams playing high voltage excitement in here indeed. the 16. w. . the world health organization says vaccine hesitancy is among the top 10 threats to global health. skeptics around the world have taken to the streets to protest against code 19 jabs. half the french are hesitant about getting the shot. in germany it's a quarter of the population. but experts agree will only beat the virus
8:31 pm
with vaccines. well despite all the skepticism the bigger problem has been getting enough doses but not in serbia it has such a vast surplus that they had been inoculating nonresidents still the abundance of vaccine doesn't help when many people just don't want it they don't use funny reports. but yet it is the next person in one's turn about 4000 doses are being administered here today at the biggest call the vaccination center in studio the country has procured some 15000000 vaccines for a population of 7000000. serbia has an offer and serbians to want them in fact there's a surplus of russia and all chinese and. other vaccines so the country
8:32 pm
had been inviting foreigners to take the japs the emphasis is on pad on the 9th of april the government decided to suspend the vaccination for a nurse on to food a notice about 30000 had received a vaccine so far a lot of foreigners came back to now it's impossible because of the permission of the government so they need to be a resident here or get married here or something like that. for for now the announcement came after a soup is infection rates began rising again the government had apparently realised he needed to convince more of its own citizens to get a jap 1st at least one in 3 people in serbia believes to some extent in conspiracy theories that claim they are unsafe. there's a new governor and he will see everyone who got the vaccine will soon die. i think of that scene is not safe enough and that's why i don't want to get is to 2
8:33 pm
days and that skepticism is also apparent on the great streets restaurants are full open and almost no one is you wearing a mask epidemiologist so don't buy the vinyl each says the government focused too much on positive news about procuring vaccines why not doing enough to actually stand the spread of the virus because of a popular dish the government and our leader was. all for demonstrating that is here's more able than arrows any idea really there to provide what is needed and he ignores the fact that it's 1st in our society to educate people so far about 1200000 people have been fully vaccinated in subiaco according to official numbers a high percentage by comparison with other countries in europe but far from enough to spend time in an effort to increase immunization suit against the government has
8:34 pm
no storage focusing on its own citizens instead of foreigners if you could understand serbian you would be able to read the message on the side of this local bus it says get vaccinated. let's talk about vaccines skepticism within a major a college of physicians of philadelphia the fact we have a vaccine is a blessing why then all the nonbelievers. why the number leavers it's a really good question i guess it's part of human nature to question things around us to see risk in other people and assume that it's the same risk for us and so you know you're going to have a spectrum of people who absolutely believe in the science absolutely even vaccines and then you're going to have a on the other end people who will not get a vaccine no matter what you tell them or are you explain to them because they have to proceed risk of it no matter what they see i mean it's great to question things i'm a journalist i have to do it every day but that same skepticism is as old as the vaccine
8:35 pm
itself has there been a was there some sort of specific historical incident that had justify the skepticism not not one specific there's been a serious several one throughout history right because you know the vaccine science has. has been advancing for the last 200 years and our along the way there have been incidents that may or may not justify some of their feelings the most the most recent one was i mean explained phenomena with the h one n one vaccine in which people had markel epsy and we know that that happens to people who are predisposed to narcolepsy or exposed to a viral the disease and so whether or not they would have done it for the vaccine or who are actually getting flu you know that that could happen in in the 1950 s. there was a fire incident here in the u.s. with the polio vaccine were a laboratory built to properly field all you iris and probably about 200 cases of paralysis from polio on what should have been an otherwise safe vaccine so yes
8:36 pm
along the way there's been incidents that have been amplified if you will by the end. that's something that happens very very often when in fact it's actually very rare explain to our viewers how anti semitic conspiracy theories also play a role in the anti vacs movement. yeah so you know it's not just anti semitic but anti minority anti anybody who was marginalized through excluded and so you know throughout history jewish people have been persecuted and they have been the minority ethnic minority religious minority and so when it comes time to find somebody who is guilty for whatever else a society in this case with with vaccine reactions then they turned to to those those conspiracy theories in more modern times who have been spears the theories of jewish people controlling bio bio security or controlling pharmaceutical companies and then well why don't you just make money that's one of the tropes of the semitism and not going not curing if you will about children getting hurt from the
8:37 pm
vaccine so it's a combination of historical factors of persecution of these kinds of groups combined with conspiracy theories and now in modern day so media where one small lie could spread and become very very big can you also explain why in some countries it's the ethnic minorities that are especially skeptical about vaccines. yeah because you know if you have the colonizers right the western european powers even when spain spain in that case alone america england in the case of north america who have colonized. ethnic minority groups in foreign countries and in doing so have used used of use in the united states we have you original sin of slavery and so you have a history of hundreds and hundreds of years of the authorities the government the dominant political force are dominant people abusing the minorities and so they
8:38 pm
see anything that comes their way as a mandate as something that a they must do for whatever reason they see it as yet another imposition on them by this whole colonial power or this abusive insulating power and so they they get skeptical and in many cases there are some small instances in that justify so for example in the united states puerto rico they had they have an island there be a beautiful island that was bombarded by the u.s. navy for years and a lot of people in puerto rico are skeptical of the u.s. government because of that and other abuses that took place on their own island and so now when they are being told by the same government that to them to get a vaccine they're highly skeptical so renee give me the hard sell as a scientist how would you convince the facts and. we found through science through research through surveys and through focus groups that the best way to get at
8:39 pm
somebody is by having one of their peers not somebody who secured to them not so it was inferior not somebody who is smarter or more educated rich or whatever so many who is there appear at their level explain to them the benefits of vaccination explain to them the side effects if any of getting a vaccine and we've seen it with the coven and that scene where we had a lot of skeptical people at 1st who are now turning turning around and wanting to actually never seen their peers their neighbors or friends getting the vaccine having a little bit of a side effect afterward you know a little bit of like illness for a day or so and getting much better and then also seeing that the the people who are vaccinated are not becoming sick and they're not becoming part of outbreaks when they see that from their peers especially they have changed their minds and so that is one of the signs and evidence proving ways to get out somebody who is skeptical about vaccination i don't mind at all if a white means i get in line quicker right here a college of physicians of philadelphia thanks for being on the show today thank you for having. and for the last time this week here's our science correspondent
8:40 pm
derek williams with another viewer question about x.c. . i was vaccinated a few days ago my arm didn't touch and i didn't have any side effects is that normal. i've talked a lot here about vaccine side effects so it's great to hear from someone who had none because that's actually really common i haven't been back summated yet but among friends and family who have i'd say roughly half told me they didn't notice a thing afterwards although the statistics will vary from from vaccine to vaccine it looks like for most of them at least a 3rd of all recipients don't report even the mildest of side effects like like injection site pain or or a little bit of swelling there's no way to predict in advance exactly how you'll react but but experts say 2 factors clearly increase the likelihood that you'll
8:41 pm
feel some kind of discomfort after getting the shot the 1st is your sex recent c.d.c. data shows that around 4 out of 5 reports of vaccine side effects have come from women with which doesn't come as a surprise really since that's also been observed in the past with many other types of vaccine a number of biological and and possibly even social reasons seem to contribute to that phenomenon the 2nd factor that plays a role is your age younger people are a lot more likely to report side effects than those over 55 which is another result backed up by experience with past that it seems the theory they are is that . because the amusing response in general declines with age so in
8:42 pm
a nutshell having few or no side effects after being vaccinated that isn't particularly rare and apparently even less so if you're like me a man who's no longer a spring chicken. and i could get my next week thanks for watching i say. you ready for some great means i'm christine wonderland on the i m f you my kids you know with a brand new detail good news africa the show that tackles the issues shaping the concert now with more time to off on an in-depth look up to all of the transfer of hot topic to you what's making the hittites and what's behind the way on the

8:45 pm
tightening of parole restrictions caustic and cynical videos have largely backfired . and in honor of world book day it's time once again to share our love of reading with another landmark german novel the hunger games all by nobel prize winning author. welcome to the show well it's quite a thing to have an academy award ceremony in the middle of a pandemic and especially strange to think that because of continuing lockdowns most of those films involved have never even made it to a movie theater streaming services have largely come to the rescue both as ewing platforms and as creative engines for some high class cinema here's an overview of the nominees. make with 10 nominations is technically the frontrunner at this yes ask us david finch is black and white to the golden age of hollywood is up for best film and best director gary oldman could take home his 2nd best acting oscar

8:49 pm
a good shot at her 3rd oscar for best actress her appeal on the stage of the 2018 academy awards for more diversity among nominees is already coming true. and to finish up the week let's bring in scott ross perot for his expertise on the 2021 oscar it's great to see you scott so this is really quite something of course because the oscars are looking to be the 1st host pandemic in person award ceremony tell us a little bit about how this is going to happen this year. yeah you know it's completely unique it's still be an oscar ceremony like we've never seen before and as you say it's a it's going to be in person i mean they're going to hold a live ceremony at the dolby theater in los angeles and also this is going to be something to see at union station which is the main train station in downtown los angeles most of the nominees will be there in person will be
8:50 pm
a limited number of them and they're also of course have to be tested in fact the nominees will have to have 3 p.c.r. negative p.c.r. tests before the ceremony for nominees who can't make it who are coming from outside the country some of them will be piped in via video link satellite link so it can be a huge technical challenge it'll be really interesting to see i mean it might be a really amazing show it could also be a complete disaster but it'll definitely be something to watch wow ok very briefly your tip on where we might see a surprise on some i think the one to go to look at we could see it upset it's best actress carey mulligan who's in promising young woman i think she could be the upset could maybe be the only davis in that category but will be neck and neck. we will see ok well thanks very much for that scott and i'd ask you to just stay with me for a moment because of course here in germany another story from the acting world has not only overshadowed any oscar suspense but it's also provoked quite an amount of
8:51 pm
huge outrage on thursday night over 50 well known actors posted videos on you tube in which they delivered by turns snide and sarcastic statements mocking or directly criticizing the german government under the hash tag i was dished which basically means shut everything down they were all stand simply a response to tighter nationwide restrictions but in no time the campaign backfired . i think. that's. been a few. people in a baby similar. tests. they've. moved to get from your short legs president looked at me.
8:52 pm
duncan and the median wins of islam this is a. fun totems for the class the 1st on the no doubt that to him guns guns that are cool enough. to land. or maybe not back over to you scott those are quite some performances there can you tell us a little bit about the reactions. yeah well the internet is essentially exploded i mean that's all the german twitter is is talking about right now and. the reaction i mean was immediate most of the media in germany but also most of these actors german colleagues immediately condemned these these videos and said they were they were stupid they were cynical and maybe even dangerous and to see maybe how
8:53 pm
dangerous they are or could be you can look at the people who really like them online including a lot of far right politicians including members of the a.f.p. the far right party in the german parliament who applauded this action and say these videos show support for their actions against german law. right ok well that's obviously not a very well thought through campaign and somewhat of a of a huge embarrassment what kind of consequences do you think this might this thing kind of thing might haue yeah. yeah i mean basically everyone's backpedaling now i mean after this reaction a lot of the actors who are in these videos have come out and apologized they said they do not want to be associated with the far right that was not their intention in making these videos and the company that produced these videos has taken them off their main site of course they are still available online they're still circulating but they've essentially everyone he's backpedaling it's just one huge mess all the more shocking perhaps when you think that just 2 days ago we were
8:54 pm
talking about health film and television were actually booming here in germany and so all of these particular actors are certainly doing pretty well thanks very much for the lowdown on this unfortunate story thanks very much scott and do enjoy the oscars i'll see you on monday see a monday. well when she won the nobel prize for literature in 2009 house was 56 years old the remaining born german had just celebrated her greatest international success with a story that describes the fate of many ethnic germans in transylvania after world war 2 the swedish academy praised the hunger angel for its artful fusion of poetry and prose in its depiction of the landscape of the dispossessed have you ever stolen something for your mouth in german there's a word for a. mouth robber was. hungry would you have to be to start stealing other people's.
