Alexander Myasnikov, TV presenter and chief physician of Moscow Hospital No. 71, spoke about the myth about immunity, which is most widespread among Russians.
The physician on the air of the program “On the most important” on the channel “Russia 1” said that people usually call immunity the general state of health and the body’s ability to resist viruses. “This is probably correct, but we, doctors, mean something else. For us, immunity is a precise figure, a clear system, ”said the teledoctor, adding that the matter concerns the number of antibodies, T-lymphocytes and other indicators.
Misconceptions about immunity, as Myasnikov noted, arise precisely because many people misunderstand the meaning of this word. As an example, he cited the judgment that colds in children are associated with weak immunity. Myasnikov assured that frequent SARS in children at an early age is normal. “This is his introduction to viruses and infections. Adenovirus, human coronavirus, new coronavirus, rhinovirus, syncytial virus – until he gets sick with this, he will not receive protection, “the TV presenter explained.
Earlier, Myasnikov named the main remedy for a hangover, and also dispelled the misconception about the coronavirus. In addition, he criticized
Russians who treat a cold with onions and eggs.
