Translation of the vox pop with Mehmet Şeker, 39 years old:
[4:09-4:35]
– I came here to protect the rights and health of our children - who are our future, to tell the truth, to spoil the game that was set up in the world and in Turkey.
We are not test-subjects, phase trials of vaccines are still ongoing. And they're trying it on us. We don't want vaccines with questionable reliability to be forced on people. It must be up to the people, whether they want to get the vaccine or not.
