WARSAW \u2014 Polands incumbent President Andrzej Duda is seizing on the fears of vaccine skeptics in a bid to gain the edge in whats expected to be a razor-thin presidential election on Sunday.<\/a><\/p>\n

In recent days, he has escalated this rhetoric to argue against a mandatory coronavirus vaccine in particular and mandatory vaccines in general, pledging on Monday that his government would never require a jab against the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am absolutely not in favor of any compulsory vaccinations,\u201d he said at a televised event arranged by the government-owned<\/a> broadcaster TVP. \u201cVaccination against coronavirus should absolutely not be mandatory.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said while he had been vaccinated as a child, \u201cI personally never get vaccinated for the flu, because no.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duda was immediately lambasted by the opposition. In an effort to walk back the comments, he tweeted<\/a>: \u201cSTOP MANIPULATING\u201d and explained he wasnt against mandatory vaccinations for diseases like \u201cpolio, tuberculosis and scarlet fever.\u201d Theres no vaccination for scarlet fever.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt is hard for me to imagine a situation where the government will mandate that adult people get vaccinated\u201d \u2014 Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In his response<\/a> to Duda, rival candidate Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski stressed there is no current vaccine against coronavirus, but added, \u201cIt is hard for me to imagine a situation where the government will mandate that adult people get vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Backed by the nationalist government under the Law and Justice party (PiS), Duda is fighting tooth and nail against the centrist Trzaskowski in Sundays run-off vote, which will decide who will be Polands next president until 2025.<\/p>\n

With most recent polls<\/a> showing the two separated by a statistically insignificant margin, both are scrambling to reach out to voters just beyond their base. In Dudas case, that outreach extends to the far right, where vaccine skepticism is rife.<\/p>\n

The far-rights presidential candidate, Krzysztof Bosak, won 1.3 million votes in the first round of the presidential election on June 28. How his voters swing this Sunday could decide the run-off.<\/p>\n

A recent poll<\/a>, carried out by Ipsos for the independent news outlet Oko Press, showed far-right voters are split 44 percent to 34 percent in Dudas favor \u2014 but as many as 22 percent are still undecided.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Polands anti-vaccination movement, STOP NOP, held a rally in Warsaw last month with a far-right MP Grzegorz Braun attending. STOP NOPs leaders, Justyna Socha and Piotr Jawornik, are Brauns aides.<\/p>\n

According to Marcin Zar\u00f3d, a sociologist of science at the University of Warsaw, the number of Polish newborns with parents who reject vaccinations for non-medical reasons is about 50,000 a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe anti-vaccination movement and the far-right are close to each other in their rejection of the liberal state,\u201d he saRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
