Fortune-telling for coronavirus vaccination: what clairvoyants and psychics predict

The time for calls to vaccinate from Dr. Roshal and TV news anchors was over quickly. There really was a lot of fun in them: it turned out that almost all the presenters of popular TV programs, along with their relatives, had been ill with the coronavirus. How they managed not to disappear from the ether at the same time remains a mystery. The advertising video with the appeal of doctors from different cities of Russia with demands, appeals and even threats about the need for vaccination did not become popular either. TV channels started looking for more creative moves.

The TV channel "Spas", which has recently been a federal one, started the topic of vaccination with caution. At first, the invited doctors appealed to the feelings of the believers. The themes of the programs were fascinating: "Vaccine and Faith / Pandemic — New Wave", "Virologists: The Truth About the Vaccine / Miracle of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God." But something, apparently, went wrong, because soon "Spas" changed the format of the programs for the sermon on vaccination. Metropolitan Tikhon Shevkunov even urgently addressed the flock with a long speech with a request to be vaccinated.

“As a bishop of the Pskov diocese, who is responsible for the flock entrusted to me by God, of course, I certainly bless you to heed all the recommendations of the State Sanitary Service of Russia and to make preventive vaccinations against the deadly disease - kovid. I take this responsibility, recommendation and, of course, answer. Of course, I bear responsibility before my flock”, - the priest admonished.

True, Tikhon Shevkunov did not mention a word about his responsibility for side effects after vaccination. At a temperature of 39, chills and pains at the injection site, the word of the shepherd will hardly help. However, according to Tikhon Shevkunov, the main thing is to believe in the best and in God, and everything will work out.

Metropolitan Tikhon Shevkunov told an almost fantastic story about himself. According to him, he has already been vaccinated ... three times! The first time a pastor, according to his sermon, was vaccinated in August last year. “But by April, my antibody level dropped so much that I was advised to be vaccinated again, and just recently, 10 days ago, doctors advised to be vaccinated for the third time. Both the second and the third time, I did not have any consequences, ”says the priest.

Interestingly, Metropolitan Tikhon often checks his antibody level. As you know, this procedure is inaccessible for an ordinary patient and quite expensive. And recently, in the recommendations of the Ministry of Health, the thesis was voiced that during vaccination it is not necessary to check the level of antibodies at all, since this is not an indicator: it is necessary to be vaccinated despite and in spite of these antibodies. But the holy father, apparently, became an exception for doctors. The flock has a question: why? Why is someone under constant and close supervision and supervision of doctors before and after vaccination, why, before vaccination, the level of antibodies in someone is carefully monitored and taken into account, and someone needs to rely on the will of God and pray that the Evil One does not send "Side effects"?

Another federal channel, TV 3, went further. There, no less than magicians, psychics and fortune-tellers call for vaccination, who literally "see" the benefits of being vaccinated with "Sputnik V". According to the plot of a social video that promotes vaccination against coronavirus, people come to fortune-tellers to find out their future. But clairvoyants cannot help because "the future is closed." Hearing this, people say that "now they are afraid." "But we can protect ourselves, get vaccinated!" - says the voice-over. After that, fortune-tellers again make an alignment on the cards and assure that after vaccination "fate will be determined".

For some reason, calls to be vaccinated are increasingly accompanied by horror stories and threats on our TV. At the end of July, an infernal social video was shown on television, in which the head physician of the Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 15 named. Filatova Valery Vechorko. He urged not to buy fake vaccination certificates. The advertisement said that the false certificate was accompanied by an “excursion” to the intensive care unit or even to the “quietest corridor of the hospital,” that is, to the morgue.

To some extent, the customers of these videos can be understood: it is cheaper and easier to shoot such an advertisement than to make an honest and evidence-based film about vaccination and its possible consequences. However, what am I talking about? After all, the cards say that the consequences of vaccination cannot be negative.
