Tolstoy announced the lost information campaign against COVID

The Russian authorities, scientists and experts failed to cope with the information campaign to combat coronavirus and failed to convince many of the need for vaccination against covid-19 . This was announced on NTV by State Duma Vice Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy.

“Unfortunately, we conducted the entire information campaign about the coronavirus in Russia incorrectly and completely lost. There is no trust of people to go and get vaccinated, this is a fact,” he said.

Tolstoy noted that people, when deciding whether to get vaccinated or not, weigh the pros and cons, but they have little information about how the vaccine works and about possible side effects. “There are few answers to the questions why those who are vaccinated get sick, why those who are vaccinated die, why there are problems and complications after the vaccinations themselves,” said the Vice Speaker of the State Duma.

According to Tolstoy, experts, scientists and academics approach the COVID-19 campaign “like a conversation between a local DOCTOR and an underexamined patient.” “The ‘we said, you do’ approach doesn’t work. You need to explain to people, give reasons, and not try to make them just take their word for it, ”he wrote on his Instagram.
