According to TASS, Gunzburg said this at the official ceremony for presenting state awards for 2020.
"Only based on the knowledge and vast experience of outstanding Russian scientists ... it is now possible to quickly and effectively solve problems related to counteracting pathogenic organisms, and, in particular, to create effective and safe vaccines that protect us for many years," he said ...
According to him, it is necessary to promote and educate young people in the country who have decided to devote their lives to science.
“This fusion of professionalism and youth allows us to create high-precision weapons, with the help of which, Vladimir Vladimirovich, we very effectively protect against the endless challenges of the vast world of pathogenic microorganisms, which we will defeat.
And we will win, because our country has the most effective and well-trained army of "microbial hunters", which can defend both our country and the whole world, ”added Gunzburg.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russian science clearly showed its power in 2020, when Russian scientists created the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine.
