In fresh days, the media has discussed the return of diphtheria – a illness that has not been diagnosed in Poland for years. The case has sparked a heated discussion, especially in the context of the proposal to make the provision of 800+ dependent on the position of vaccination of the child. But are propaganda reports justified? And do we truly have a deadly illness back?
Błonica in Poland: facts vs. emotions
Aleksandra Ptak-Iglewska in an article in “Rzeczpospolita” entitled “The drama of diphtheria returns. It is time to make 800+ dependent on vaccination" she raised the alarm: "A kid with diphtheria went to the hospital. A deadly illness with vaccinations. She has not been in Poland for 25 years. Time to issue dense guns – penalties for non-vaccination and payment of 800+ based on the vaccination book".
However, as Dr. Piotr Witczak points out, specified statements may be misleading. On his profile on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote: “Why is Mrs @Ola_Ptak lying to the public erstwhile she writes in @practice that she has not been in Poland for 25 years? According to authoritative reports in 2024 there were 2 cases of diphtheria, in 2023 – 1. Why was the media silent at the time?’
Why you @Ola_Bird Lying to the public by writing in @ChurchThat the diphtheria has not been in Poland for 25 years?
According to authoritative reports in 2024 there were 2 cases of diphtheria, in 2023 – 1. Why did the media then stay silent? possibly due to the fact that they were about people who were vaccinated? pic.twitter.com/VIUe0Z7ytT

Furthermore, Dr. Witczak suggested that cases of diphtheria in fresh years have been related to vaccinated individuals. “Perhaps due to the fact that they active people vaccinated?” he noted.
Is the diphtheria truly coming back?
According to the data cited by Dr. Witczak, 1 case of diphtheria was reported in 2023 and 2 in 2024. However, it is worth noting that these are isolated cases in a country of 37 million inhabitants. According to the expert, “one case of diphtheria in 37 million countries will suffice in an unvaccinated child, in addition to being dragged from Africa, and totalitarian ideas are already emerging to make payments 800+ dependent on vaccination status”.
These words indicate that the situation is not as dramatic as any media are trying to present. Moreover, discussions on this subject frequently take on emotional tone, making it hard to analyse the problem in a meaningful way.
Controversies around vaccination and benefits
The proposal to make the payment of the 800+ benefit dependent on the vaccination position of the kid triggered mixed reactions. On the 1 hand, supporters of this solution argue that this may increase the rates of graftability and prevent the return of infectious diseases. On the another hand, critics point to the anticipation of discrimination against families who, for various reasons, do not choose vaccination.
It is besides worth noting the speech of the discussion, which frequently takes the form of individual attacks. An example is the psycho’s comment, which is to sow propaganda akin to that of pseudo covid Krzysztof J. Filipiak, who wrote on X: “The first case of diphtheria in an unvaccinated kid in Poland in a 4th of a century. We will thank: @vaccination – dezinfo, @justsocha @PiotrWitczak_ @PSNLIN3 and another cognition denialists, aluminium cultists, charlatans, measles fans, pertussis fans and mind-independent scientists.”

Such statements do not favour constructive debate, but only deepen social divisions.
Summary: Is it worth panicking?
Although the emergence of cases of diphtheria in Poland is simply a worrying phenomenon, there is no reason to announce an epidemic. It is worth keeping calm and based on facts, not emotions. Proposals for reliance on vaccination require a deeper analysis and discussion, which will take into account both the benefits and possible risks of specified a solution.
Parents' awareness grows and we supply legal assistance to avoid forced sanctions for vaccination
Because of the expanding cognition of parents about vaccines given to their children, they are increasingly refusing to participate in the vaccination thresholds. The consequence of the refusal is the initiation of proceedings by the PPS and the Provincial Office. These proceedings consequence in a severe financial punishment on the child's legal guardians.
As mentioned above, punishment is imposed on legal guardians for refusing to implement the vaccination programme resulting from the vaccination calendar.
Is there so a anticipation to avoid this punishment if legal guardians do not want to give compulsory vaccines to children?
Of course I do. However, it is surely not essential to underestimate calls for a qualifying examination that the child's legal guardians receive from the wellness clinic, as specified behaviour is the basis for imposing a fine.
We remind you that a kid is besides given a vaccine a fewer hours after birth for which the parent of the kid agrees completely unconsciously, signing papers in postnatal shock. That's why it's so crucial to prepare a pregnant female well before you go to the infirmary and have a baby.
If you are curious in how to prevent a kid from being vaccinated as a consequence of the “compulsory” vaccination calendar without imposing a financial penalty, delight request a paid legal advice in this area.
