According to him, people who do not get the COVID-19 vaccine put themselves and those around them in great danger.

“This is a really difficult disease.

It affects not only the lungs, it also affects the nervous system.

It can affect many organs.

And I know people, including young people, and sometime, more recently, healthy people who became disabled after this infection, ”he said.

He also commented on reports that against the background of vaccination with the British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, cases of blood clots were recorded.

Oganov noted that "we need to weigh the probabilities of different outcomes."

There is very little chance of side effects in case of vaccination, he said.

“If you do not get this vaccine, you have almost a 100% chance of contracting the same coronavirus, and a few percent of people who get it, then very much regret it.

Look, a few percent of the severe course of the disease from 0.0001%.

And make a conclusion for yourself that it is easier for you to accept, ”he said.

The scientist also believes that if a person does not get vaccinated, then sooner or later he will get sick with coronavirus.

Earlier, the head of the Gamaleya Center, Alexander Gintsburg, in an interview with NSN, called the main advantage of Sputnik V over foreign vaccines.
