State Duma deputy Kurinny: compulsory vaccination will not affect the statistics on coronavirus Russia. It is necessary to act by other methods, commented on the statement of the virologist Pyotr Chumakov, member of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection Alexei Kurinny in an interview with the radio station “Moscow speaking”.
According to him, the virologist's methods need to be disclosed. Currently, almost all mechanisms are involved, with the exception of the introduction of the so-called compulsory vaccination at the federal level.
“In my opinion, it will not solve anything, because those categories that fall under such compulsory vaccination, in fact already vaccinated somewhere in 80 percent, somewhere a little more, somewhere a little less, “concluded Kurinny.
Earlier, RAS Corresponding Member Peter Chumakov spoke in favor of compulsory vaccination in Russia. The well-known virologist noted the low level of vaccination and said that “we must shout about it.” At the same time, he added that in the conditions of the spread of the delta strain of the coronavirus, it is necessary to vaccinate about 80 percent of the population.
