Readers invited me to comment on the speech of Professor Vorobyov from the same round table by Shukshina.
The professor starts by defining the concept of a vaccine and says that Sputnik is not a vaccine. Invites you to look at Wikipedia and read it yourself.
From me: I looked at Wikipedia, and it mentions a vector vaccine as one of the types of vaccines. The professor has this item "past the cash register".
I appeal to the readers - if you are offered to look somewhere, and even in English, then do not hesitate and take a look. Now the Internet will translate everything for you. Such bold professorial statements are usually intended for the laziness of the readers. Don't be inert and read the sources yourself.
The professor claims that the virus from the vaccine enters the cell and begins to multiply there.
From me: in the vaccine, the satellite is not a virus, but a viral vector. By definition, it cannot reproduce in a human cell.
The professor says that the world today does not know such a drug. This is a completely new drug.
From me: Look at the same Wikipedia to which the professor himself sent you. In 2017, they made a vector vaccine against Ebola. There, the virus even multiplied for some time in human cells. This vaccine has been approved in both Europe and America since 2019. Breeding in our cells. Have you noticed? And our Sputnik does not reproduce.
The professor says this vaccine has not been tested.
From me: Sputnik's vaccine has been tested, and even the British have confirmed it. The British, by the way, have their own similar vector vaccine.
The professor says that the unfortunate doctors are forced to flee the profession because they are forced to be vaccinated.
From me: The usual thing. For the second time, I am already giving the example of a familiar anti-vaccine surgeon who refused to be vaccinated against viral hepatitis B. After that, he was simply not allowed to work with blood, because the dude could infect patients with an accidental cut or injection. The surgeon was unable to operate, lost money and quickly re-educated himself.
We, doctors, work like this. If you don't want to do nasal swabs or a stick, you won't work with people. Go work with cars in the parking lot.
The professor says vaccinated people will become infected, sick and spread the virus.
From me: I agree, they will. But they will spread the virus less than sick people, because sick people with their coughs throw out fountains of phlegm with the virus. In vaccinated people this cannot be, because the virus does not fall below the upper respiratory tract. And the vaccinated will not be seriously ill, and they will not have breathing tubes inserted into their throats through which viruses fly. Well, the fact that the vaccinated will not wear masks, so no one allowed them to take them off.
The professor says that ours published an article in Lancet, and then publish amendments and even correct errors. Like Professor Vorobyov has never seen such an outrage.
From me: This happens all the time in scientific journals. They publish something, then they find a typo and correct it. I myself found typos on the website of the American Center for Disease Control or in the medical database UpToDate and wrote them to the editor. Quickly correct, apologize and thank. It happens to everyone. This is normal. If Professor Vorobyov has not met this, then it seems that he simply reads little.
The professor says that the tests are not over yet, and the conclusions will be made by the summer.
From me: It is the manufacturer who decides when the tests are over, because everything is decided by the methods of medical statistics. There are methods. Statistics are working, and conclusions have been drawn. Don't like complicated statistics? So don't look into this area and post your judgments.
The professor says there is no covid pandemic.
From me: The World Health Organization writes "COVID-19 pandemic", meaning covid pandemic. I think she (WHO) knows better. She just declares a pandemic. Not Professor Voroviev.
The professor says that like the WHO itself says that we need a vaccine that reduces the incidence, and this is a lie, because the vaccine does not reduce the incidence.
From me: And again the professor is sure that we will not look on the Internet and read. But we honor. The WHO website even has a separate page there is about the fact that vaccines against covid will save lives, but only together with other anti-epidemic measures. Because it is not clear how they affect transmission and infection.
In short, I got tired at the forty-second minute of that very round table. Was there anything else interesting there?
