Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences Gennady Onishchenko reacted sharply to the advice of Doctor of Medical Sciences Sergei Kolesnikov, who considered it possible to fight “omicron” with the help of vodka inhalations.
“This is a display of ignorance and can be taken as some kind of bad joke. (…) Inhalations of vodka, moonshine are stupid mockery. Silly, bad joke,” Onishchenko said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
Earlier, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences Sergei Kolesnikov said on Radio 1 that it is possible to counteract the Omicron coronavirus strain by inhaling vodka.
Recall also that a new strain of coronavirus B.1.1.529, which contains 32 mutations in the S-protein, was first detected in South Africa and Botswana in early November 2021. The infected were found in Hong Kong, Belgium, Israel. At an emergency meeting on November 26, the World Health Organization recognized B.1.1.529 as a “Concern” and named it Omicron, after the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. “Omicron” has a large number of mutations, it also spreads faster than the “delta” type. A new strain of coronavirus with increased mobility has already been detected in more than 110 countries, including Russia.
Later today it became known that the government of the Russian Federation approved a plan for additional measures to combat “omicron”.
Meanwhile, cases of a new strain of coronavirus have already been recorded in 63 Russian regions.
