Conspiratorial thought and the COVID-19 vaccination in Serbian Southeastern Europe
Misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and negative politicization of the COVID-19 health crisis tend to undermine the health care efforts across the globe. Vaccination against COVID-19 is the path toward prevention and containment of COVID-19, as well as socio-economic recovery. As 2020 came to an end, Serbian Southeastern Europe initiated its vaccination efforts with the American Pfitzer-BioNTech. Since receiving Serbia’s national medicines regulator agency’s authorisation to proceed with the use of the Russian Sputnik V on 31 December 2020, Serbia is to onboard the vaccination using Sputnik V vaccine to supply the vaccine demands of the population.
Homogeneous societies, racism, and ethnic discrimination in Europe
Racism and ethnic discrimination in Europe – phenomenon of unlikely novelty. However, it is proven more and more dissected in the contemporary world. Whether it is a racist simplification to blood and soil, and the racial common sense of the Nazi Germany or the looming ethnocentric worldview in its historic colonial and contemporary polarisation terms; the notions are no longer mostly experienced, they are now mostly investigated and examined. While mindful of the Francis Galton’s eugenics thinking of the 1883, can not be neglected the long history of ethnic clashes and contestations between the nations where race and its cultural belonging experience little thought of separation.
