Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov dispelled the popular myth about antibody-dependent intensification of infection after vaccination against coronavirus.
He explained that the phenomenon represented a “paradoxical increase in infection” after vaccination. Myasnikov said that scientists really encountered such a phenomenon when conducting experiments on rodents, when in 2002 the world was faced with viral pneumonia.
– Today, with the massive use of vaccines against COVID-19, we do not know of a single documented case of antibody-associated intensification of infection, – wrote the specialist in his Telegram.
Earlier, Alexander Myasnikov spoke about contraindications for vaccination against coronavirus. According to the specialist, there is only one absolute contraindication – anaphylactic shock with the introduction of the first component of the vaccine. Myasnikov noted that people from the risk group, that is, elderly people with chronic diseases, must be vaccinated.
