Spider interrupted the minister’s press conference in Australia (video)

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D’ath was forced to interrupt a press conference because of a large hunter spider that began climbing up her leg at the time of the woman’s speech. D’ath spoke about the need for companies to comply with the latest vaccination rules. At that moment, someone present noticed the animal. “Okay, can someone take it off?”  D’ath asked. Chief health officer John Gerrard tried to drive the spider away with papers, and he ran away in a panic. “That was the moment, wasn’t it?” the minister said. “We have not only COVID, but also spiders,” she joked. Hunting spiders can inflict painful bites, but in general they are not dangerous to humans. New Year’s sale: discounts up to – 60% Anna Lysenko Even more interesting things about animals

France opposed a return to the Cold War with Russia

“We & nbsp; do not & nbsp; want to go back to the Cold War. To avoid this, we & nbsp; do not & nbsp; must go to the & nbsp; aggravation and & nbsp; must remain calm.

Ginzburg told how many times you can be revaccinated by Sputnik V

Alexander Ginzburg also said that the use of a nasal vaccine excludes the possibility of transmission of infection, which gives a great advantage in terms of population immunity. A person who has been vaccinated intranasally, he will never be a carrier of this infection. A person who was vaccinated as a result of an injection will not get sick, but he can transfer the virus on his mucosa, and when he gets into the environment of unvaccinated people, if he coughs, sneezes— he will release this virus, and others may get sick.Alexander Ginzburg Earlier, Alexander Ginzburg said that vaccination with Sputnik V and revaccination protect against omicron.

Peskov called opponents of vaccination against coronavirus “dangerous fools”

“Dangerous fools are two words. You can’t express it in one word,” he said in Naili Asker-zade’s film “A Dangerous Virus. The second year” on the TV channel “Russia-1” in response to the question of how one word can be called people who refuse vaccination themselves, and others agitate against it. In Sweden, citizens began to implant chips with COVID passports under their skin The head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, in response to the same question, said that, in his opinion, such agitation “is unreasonable actions.” The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, believes that “people affected by fear” do this. The chief physician of the Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 52, Mariana Lysenko, called them unreasonable. Denis Protsenko, the head physician of the Moscow hospital in Kommunarka, refused to give any estimates, calling on anti-vaxxers to “trust trusted sources.” Other doctors were more harsh in their assessments.

In Sweden, citizens began to implant chips with COVID passports under their skin

Microchips, which can be inserted under the skin and transmit various information with their help, appeared in Sweden a long time ago. However, local residents became more interested in them and used them as an alternative to the QR code when the country tightened restrictions for those unvaccinated from coronavirus. Unlike most other countries, where the coronavirus was fought with strict quarantines, the Swedish authorities chose a different path. For a long time, the restrictive measures here were much milder than those of the neighbors, and were mainly advisory in nature. Even the benefits of medical masks in the country were doubted, the Swedish health agency noted that it did not believe in their “decisive importance”. For the first time, the authorities recommended wearing masks only in December last year. However, due to the increase in morbidity, Sweden still had to tighten measures. Since the beginning of December, events in

“The idea of ​​a new conference where we & nbsp; re-discuss areas of influence where great powers could & nbsp; what & nbsp; their & nbsp; neighbors can and & nbsp; not & nbsp; can do would make us back down, and & nbsp; this is not at all & nbsp; the right direction & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; said & nbsp; he. On the other hand, NATO is in favor of & nbsp; discussing with & nbsp; Russia confidence-building measures, arms control, transparency of exercises, reducing tensions and & nbsp; & nbsp; everything that & nbsp; could & nbsp; improve relations. “ But & nbsp; not & nbsp; for & nbsp; violating our fundamental principles '', & nbsp; & mdash; Stoltenberg emphasized.
