This is fine, you guys, really.
It's fine.
Spain needs to keep a registry of all of its citizens who refuse to take the vaccine.
It's for the greater good of society.
It is! Get over it!
Didn't you know that Spain "has been one of the European countries worst affected by the virus"? Yeah, that's a fact.
Health Minister Salvador Illa says the registry won't be made public at all either unless you count sharing the information with other EU nations as being public. So that's fine, and everything checks out there.
Also, none of this is bad. Like, at all.
Oh, and just so you know: The Covid-19 vaccination will not be made mandatory in Spain. The Health Minister said that. So stop freaking out.
This is fine.
The Health Minister also said, "the way to defeat the virus is to vaccinate all of us or the more the better," which totally makes sense because that's science, and if you think this vaccine isn't the best defense against Covid that will ever exist (ever) you're probably a weirdo like Alex Jones or something like that.
Illa also said vaccination should be considered "an act of solidarity toward our loved ones and our citizenship." So again, this is for the greater good, and it should make you feel warm and fuzzy inside when you get the vaccine because you're helping us all.
Just a reminder: this is all fine.
Here's one last line from Health Minister Salvador Illa that should help calm your nerves (if you're even still anxious at all):
"People who are offered a therapy that they refuse for any reason, it will be noted in the register...so that there is no error in the system, not to have given this person the possibility of being vaccinated."
See, they're just keeping track of you. You know, to make sure you're safe.
They love you.
