Having become an entrepreneur, the former basketball player Pieter Loridon is better known in Flanders than in Wallonia. In the media in the north of the country, the 49-year-old man is talked regarding a lot. And not at all for good reasons. On social networks, he wondered if it was possible to deliberately “boost” his immunity.
In good health, Pieter Loridon refuses to be vaccinated. On Instagram, he announced this: “I deliberately allowed myself to be infected. I pushed other positive saliva into my nose”, he said. While adding that he did not want to do “part of a vaccination company”. “I have to go abroad soon for my business. Today, it is impossible to do without CST to travel. So I will opt for a natural booster of my immune system which works perfectly once morest the variants”, he added.
Practices that made Marc Van Ranst jump from his chair. “Sheer nonsense”, at-il commenté pour Het Laatste Nieuws. “And above all totally irresponsible. Since when do we put someone else’s snot in their own nose? Especially when we know that the virus circulates enormously and that it has already caused deaths following clusters due to certain parties Such practices cannot be taken seriously.”
Wouter Beke also reacted. For the Flemish Minister of Health, Loridon’s words are disrespectful. “Our excellent healthcare system will also take care of you if you end up in hospital”, he begins on Facebook. “However, it is an incredible lack of respect for the many caregivers who have given the best of themselves for two years in extremely difficult circumstances”, he concluded.
