Citing the opinion poll’s results, the Belgrade Politika daily said that it showed that one in three people in Serbia did not want to get vaccinated.

In contrast, 20 percent of the polled said they would or probably would receive the vaccine.

The survey also showed that most of the polled believed the so-called ‘pharmacoMafia’ was involved in spreading the virus.

One-third of the respondents thought the Chinese Government produced the virus in a laboratory, i.e., that it ‘escaped’ from a Wuhan lab.

Slightly fewer of those polled believed that US entrepreneur Bill Gates was responsible, while the smallest number of the polled thought the epidemic was linked to 5G technology.
