Virologist Altstein: asymptomatic COVID-19 patients need to be vaccinated, like everyone else the idea of issuing QR codes to people with asymptomatic COVID-19. In an interview with Lenta.ru, the virologist said that such citizens need to be vaccinated, like all other people without medical contraindications.
Earlier, a specialist in especially dangerous infections, an immunologist Vladislav Zhemchugov urged to issue QR codes to those who had a coronavirus infection asymptomatically, since such people have higher immunity than vaccinated citizens.
First, vaccination, and then the QR code < p> According to Altstein, people with an asymptomatic course of the coronavirus will be able to find out that they have had the disease only by chance coincidence.
“It’s impossible to identify asymptomatic people like that. And give them QR codes only on the basis of the fact that they have unclear what antibodies, wrong action. In what case is this asymptomatic form detected? For some reason, a person was included in the survey, and antibodies were found using a PCR test, “Altstein said.

“There will always be dissent” Some Russians deny the coronavirus and do not want to be vaccinated. How to convince them?
The virologist is convinced that such people, like everyone else, need to be vaccinated. In his opinion, their specific immune response to coronavirus is weak. “The fact that they did not get sick is not an indicator that they are highly immune and they should immediately be given QR codes. We need to vaccinate such people, “the virologist concluded.
Altstein assured that in the case when a person asymptomatically suffered a coronavirus, and then vaccinated, he will receive stronger immunity. It is not worth worrying that the vaccine can harm health if antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are still preserved in his blood.
Earlier, the State Duma named the main difficulty preventing the issuance of QR codes by the presence of antibodies in the body. According to a member of the Health Protection Committee, Alexei Kurinny, first you need to understand what level is considered sufficient. Currently, the scientific community has not determined the range of the starting point for the level of antibodies. While it ranges from 300 to 500.
