Alexander Gintsburg explained what are the dangers of "living vaccine"

“Not only Omicron can be a live vaccine, but also all strains that circulate. If a person has had the disease "on his feet", then consider it a live vaccine. But no one will say what the consequences of such a "vaccination" will be, in contrast to vaccination with Sputnik, the safety of which has long been proven. Because the complications from a live vaccine are different, up to death”, - said Alexander Gintsburg in an interview with TASS.

Earlier, authoritative experts around the world reported that Omicron could lead to the end of the pandemic due to the high rate of spread and the relatively mild course of the disease. In particular, a similar point of view was expressed by the WHO representative in Russia, Melita Vujnovic, at the end of December.

Yesterday it became known that scientists from the Gamaleya Center are considering the option of creating a new vaccine based on several strains, as reported by Denis Logunov. Thus, researchers are exploring the possibilities and needs of developing more complex vaccines in the future.
