The same round table was dismantled, but everything was mixed in a heap, and people were completely confused in vaccines. I will say right away that we are talking only about the Sputnik vector vaccine. All these erroneous statements were born in the minds of the readers.
In fact, it is not so important what exactly the roundtable participants wanted to say with their roundtable. More important is what the audience took away from this discussion. And the audience's minds were terribly mixed up. I explain.
They write that a foreign protein will remain on the surface of our cells for an infinitely long time, and this can somehow harm us.
This is mistake. A foreign protein on the surface of our cells will very quickly attract our immunity, which will kill such a cell. This is the meaning of the vaccine. If a foreign protein was on the surface of our cells for a long time, it would be good for immunity, but this does not happen.
They write that the viral protein gene will be incorporated into our cells, they will die, and our internal organs will stop working without these cells.
This is mistake. The Sputnik vaccine is all about killing some of our own cells. This is enough to get the necessary immunity, but it is not enough to disrupt the work of our internal organs.
Each viral vector can enter only one of our cells, so the number of dead cells will, in the worst case, correspond to the number of viral vector particles in that dose of the vaccine.
They write that the immune system will be weakened by the introduction of a foreign protein.
This is mistake. On the contrary, our immune system is enhanced by the introduction of a foreign protein. That's the point of vaccination.
They write that our immunity cannot cope with so many dying cells.
This is mistake. Immunity doesn't need to deal with dying cells. He intentionally kills them with his own hands. This is the task of our immunity - to kill infected cells. There is just enough viral vector in the Sputnik vaccine for immunity to start killing our cells very well. For this, vaccination was started.
They write that vaccine manufacturers must explain in detail to the population the entire sequence of events that occur inside cells during vaccination.
This is mistake. The population does not need to know the details of the action of vaccines, just as there is no need to know the details of the action of other drugs. Because for the correct understanding of the details, special education is required. Without education, the population draws the wrong conclusions and refuses to vaccinate, which was supposed to save the population's life.
They write that if a viral gene is inserted into our genome, then it will be impossible to get it out of there.
This is mistake. First, the viral gene does not fit into our genome, so there is nothing to pull out.
Second, for viruses like herpes that already live embedded in our genome, there are ways to get them out of the genome. So nothing is impossible.
They write that Sputnik vaccination is a massive and hidden production of a transgenic person.
This is mistake. Vaccination is an open process. But this is not the production of a transgenic person, because transgenic organisms are organisms whose genome has been modified. The Sputnik vaccine contains an adenovirus-based vector that does not fit into the human genome. Therefore, the vaccinated person does not become transgenic.
Many people would dream of becoming transgenic in order not to die at a young age from hereditary diseases. For example, people with spinal muscular atrophy. There is a drug that can save them by making them transgenic, but it is fantastically expensive and not widely available.
They write that the tests of the Sputnik vaccine are unconvincing, because it is impossible to test it in such a short time.
This is mistake. There is a specific protocol for testing vaccines, which consists of several steps. Vaccine test results are evaluated using special mathematical methods. The Sputnik vaccine has passed the tests and is recommended for use.
