He spoke about this in an interview with URA.RU.

“The coronavirus came as a training process, but something worse will come.

One hundred percent will come.

Two mutations.

First, the avian or swine flu virus will spread from animals to humans.

And the second - when it begins to pass from person to person.

A large, deadly pandemic two mutations away from us.

Now we have to wait, ”said Myasnikov.

According to him, a new pandemic should not come before a "universal influenza vaccine" is created.

“Otherwise it will be bad.

When will come - I do not know.

Maybe in a year, maybe in five or ten years.

That is why everyone is to fight for a new universal influenza vaccine, ”he added.

At the end of November 2020, Myasnikov said that there is a likelihood of an influenza epidemic with a high mortality rate in the future, and called for the development of a universal vaccine.
