Psychoanalyst and publicist Yelena Kadyrova drew attention to an alarming trend related to vaccination:
“If this is not deliberate gaslighting - insolently accusing the other of what you are doing yourself, then this is what is called in psychoanalysis - projective identification. When a person is not aware of his own negative hostile affects and impulses towards another person, but ascribes them to him, suspecting the other in the presence of hostility towards himself. And when the other, in the end, reacts appropriately to the negative in his address, this is perceived as confirmation of suspicion and serves as an excuse for the implementation of the original unconscious aggressive intentions. Until recently, it was only heard about how competitors in vaccines are being smashed on our TV, and here on you. Here is what Republic writes:
“In a short week after the holiday, the Russian authorities began to intensify competition in the international vaccine market again. A warning salvo was fired from propaganda guns at an enemy preparing an information sabotage - no less than a staged mass death of people from the use of "Sputnik V". The target audience for the alleged disinformation is the Eastern European countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Montenegro, San Marino, North Macedonia and Serbia. In the latter, this mysterious campaign has already been declared doomed "to fail at the very start".
Three months ago, we recall, Major General Igor Konashenkov, an official representative of the Ministry of Defense, argued that “we know in detail what funds and resources have been thrown from abroad to discredit the domestic vaccine in the world and in Russia. A series of pseudo-analytical “investigations” and false testimonies of “eyewitnesses” about the alleged “danger” of the Russian vaccine are being prepared in social networks and Russian-language Internet resources funded by foreign grants. But, obviously, then it sounded not convincing enough. So the authorities tried again. The very tone of the anonymous message from TASS and RIA Novosti, which came from the bowels of the presidential administration, is imbued with the alarming style of the Soviet Information Bureau:
“ Against the background of the growing demand for the Russian Sputnik V vaccine all over the world, including in European countries, the United States and its allies, according to our intelligence services, are planning to launch a large-scale information campaign aimed at creating a bias towards domestic scientific developments in the field of counteracting the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19 ". / “ Through controlled nongovernmental organizations and media structures such as the US Agency for International Development, Thomson Reuters Foundation, Soros Foundation, as well as BBC, Reuters, Internews, theses about the ineffectiveness and danger of the vaccine will be promoted".
It also follows from the words of a "high-ranking source in the Kremlin" that at the same time the United States is conducting "an unprecedentedly aggressive policy of promoting its Pfizer vaccine, seeking to release the American side not only from the payment of possible compensation to citizens in lawsuits in the event of side effects, but also from financial liability for negligence of the direct manufacturer "(what does this speculative prospect of bloody legal battles have to do with it, the" source "did not explain. But, apparently, nothing brings out the dirty intentions of the West like the dazzling success of the Russian vaccine. So everything fits together.
Let's pay attention once again: "The USA and its allies" are only "planning" their insidious offensive. But in Moscow, it instantly took on the flesh of irrefutable facts, becoming the subject of lively discussion in the pro-Kremlin media".
“And this is only the beginning of a long journey", - continues Kadyrova, - Now, it seems, they will begin to stigmatize the fifth column in the face of those who dare to declare some kind of "compromising" side effects".
The Sputnik V vaccine (it seems, indeed, the success of Russian scientists) - should take the place of cheaper oil in our exports. The Battle of the Titans begins. We are in this game, a means, not an end. Therefore, we - Russians, no one especially agitates to inject with Sputnik, since this is a product, first of all, for export. At the same time, good responses are welcome - this is a useful advertisement, bad ones (complaints about “wrong” side effects) are swept under the carpet with the already boring adage “after, does not mean due to”, which does not open questions for further clarification, but closes them. And this is for now, but soon, judging by the tendencies, such careless complainants will be prosecuted for slander and betrayal of national interests. War is like war. And what about your personal health, what are your indications and contraindications, how to increase people's confidence in the domestic vaccine, while closing the choice of how to make the picture more transparent so that people can see the real ratio of severe side effects to the total number of vaccinated - which is high likely to work in favor of the vaccine, no one bothers with it. What for? After, does not mean due. What you want, then do it".
