The head physician of the covid hospital did not see herd immunity in Moscow

Strong collective immunity to covid-19 in Moscow has not yet been developed due to low rates of vaccination, said Maryana Lysenko, chief physician of the city clinical hospital No. 52, on Channel One.

“Everything that was predicted came true, unfortunately to a large extent. We have not developed stable collective immunity due to the very low rates of vaccination, ”TASS quoted her as saying.

Lysenko warned that if this situation continues, then there is a threat that the virus will mutate and adapt, becoming resistant to vaccines.

However, in her opinion, over time, the situation will still become manageable and COVID-19 will turn into a “normal seasonal respiratory virus.” “If there is a clear vaccination protocol and there are tools that help fight this infection, then this will become a common ordinary infection,” she said.
