The reaction of the negative

Many Russians are opposed to compulsory vaccination, they are stopped by either children's deaths or the threat of epidemics of the most terrible diseases

The text is written in collaboration with Dmitry Sidorov

- When Natasha turned three and a half years, she began to constantly complain about headaches. The doctor diagnosed her - measles. She began a constant panic that she does not hear anything-slowly, as if through force, says 24-year-old Ksenia B. About her little niece. According to her, the girl was born large and healthy. She fell ill only three years later and shortly after Kory also picked up the chickenpox, which resulted in a complication - meningitis.

- The girl broke the paralysis. By four years old, paralysis reached the heart and lungs, soon Natasha died, - the girl puts the final point in a terrible story. The mother of the child - her sister - was a opponent of vaccinations. Ksenia believes that vaccines could save the girl, and, being the mother of a small child herself, does not miss a single vaccine.

- Why did the girl not have a single vaccine, did your sister really get into the sect? - We ask Ksenia.

The woman really washed her brains, but not sectarians, but her friends who have read advice on the Internet.

“When she got married, she became pregnant and moved from our village to Ufa, she completely changed the circle of communication,” Ksenia continues. - She met with the same mothers in the courtyard of her house, in a hospital queue. She asked them for advice on how best to take care of the newborn. These girlfriends rumbled the brains of my sister - they talked about the site on which “the whole truth about vaccinations” was posted: vaccines are poison, all diseases from them, and children are born disabled. One of the girls had a son, it seemed, with a down-syndrome, and she accused the doctors of the fact that this was a consequence of vaccinations that “illegally” made her son. The other child was constantly sneezing, the third baby had a heavy, not passing cough with sputum, the fourth mother’s daughter was always with snot. Moms did not treat their cold children - they are clean, without vaccinations, but there are no vaccinations - there are no diseases, because they write on the Internet.

- Do people believe everything that is written on the network?

- I read on the “Odnoklassniki” and “VKontakte” a group like “Mom against vaccinations”. Many believe that only the truth is laid out there. And there, for example, they discuss how America wants to destroy our nation. Like, the United States imports its vaccines to Africa, infect and send to Russia. China began to be accused of the same: supposedly he poisons his vaccines with heavy metals.

Where "all the truth"

We were not able to accurately establish a site or community where the mother of the deceased child received a portion of “useful tips” - unlike AIDS/HIV denyers , vaccines negatiers are combined into a much more massive movement, which have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people around the world, including many of our fellow citizens.

There, for example, discuss how America wants to destroy our nation

“Pharmageddon. They kill our children, ”a demotivator meets the reader in one of the communities of anti -Vaccinators. The inscription is made on top of a photo of a doctor who makes a child an injection. Almost every large social network has dozens of such groups. Unlike the marginal “death groups”, no one is struggling in series, they are rarely blocked and removed - after all, the self -proclaimed “life groups” allegedly help to save children. The largest group of opponents of vaccination - the “truth about vaccinations” “VKontakte” - is constantly growing. Over the week, its number increased by a thousand participants - up to 59 thousand participants. The next group consists of 15 thousand people. Almost every region has its own online communities of three thousand to several hundred users.

Even the harmless “vaccinations” query issues on the first page of the search engine the site “Genocide Rus” , where vaccinations are declared part of the “multi -century total genocide of the Russian and other indigenous peoples of Russia” and the “Russian News Agency” - there are followers of the late ultra -enclosure, the orthodist Nikolai Levashov, who was supposedly killed by enemies with the help of enemies with the help of enemies with the help of enemies "Genetic weapons."

Marginals use the popular topic for recruitment of new followers-one of the two contacts of the almost 60 thousandth community “Pravda about vaccinations” is indicated by Andrei Batov. Among the “interesting groups” on its page, “awakening of genetic memory - word formation” and “Vedic culture” indicating its proximity to the right -wing course of Russian neoism are immediately distinguished. Its supporters believe that the Russian people have existed for tens of thousands of years and is the bearer of the oldest culture.

On the wall of Pravda itself, reposts from the Renaissance community are published. Golden Age ” - the head organization of the followers of Levashov.

“The long -term work on the dissemination of information about the tremendous harm of vaccines has just begun to give fruit in the form of coming people, saying that thanks to us they now do not give vaccinations. Many people still have a negative reaction to such information, but five years ago all that was! Today, we can say with confidence, a large number of people know that vaccinations are created to destroy immunity and not only, ”the members of the movement on the picket are proudly reporting.

If you do not even take into account the point of view of radicals, the situation is alarming. Not only in Russia, but also in many Western countries, the resistance of compulsory vaccination is growing, which reduces collective immunity - the ability of a healthy population to deal with outbreaks of epidemics. It would be incorrectly reducing the anti -Vaccination to a bunch of conspiracyrs, right -wing radicals and occultists - although this is exactly the area where their ideas are widespread, but most of the opponents of vaccinations are the most ordinary parents, concerned about the health of their children. Vaccinations worry them not for religious or ideological reasons - they do not believe the official institutions in the person of doctors, but they believe in charismatic “truth -a -hand”, denying the effectiveness of vaccines.

If you do not even take into account the point of view of radicals, the situation is alarming

In the West, Dr. Andrew Wacfield became such a figure. In 1998, he published a scientific study on the connection of vaccination with autism and other mental disorders. Later, these conclusions were refuted by dozens of other scientists, and Wakefield himself was accused of stagnation of data, the publisher of the magazine in which the publication was released, and even co -authors turned away from him. Although the doctor’s scientific career was destroyed, he became a well -known figure in the anti -Vaccinator movement, and the myth of the connection of mental diseases with vaccinations was widely used.

In Russia, the Soviet virusologist and candidate of biological sciences Galina Petrovna Chervonskaya became a person of the movement of vaccinations.

Four thousand people per virus chest

She is an alpha and omega of any significant anti -Vaccinator resource. She is the main source of arguments against vaccinations. She - and not at all occultists or neopagowers - the most respected and quoted speaker speaker. Chervonskaya does not speak of a complete rejection of vaccination, but it was her almost 30-year quarry of the popularizer of these views that laid the foundations of vaccination skepticism in Russia.

At the dawn of his career, Chervonskaya was accused of a terrible tragedy - the deaths of four thousand children. “A number of her publications in the press at the sunset of Soviet power provoked a massive refusal of vaccinations, which led to an epidemic of diphtheria, which claimed more than four thousand lives,” the official newspaper of the ROC “Church Herald” writes about this story.

“It was some kind of bacchanalia! I was accused of the epidemic. They wanted to sue. I answered the vaccinators that I did not oppose vaccinations anywhere - sue and will not find any such publication. I speak and talked about the vaccination system - you are all criminals, because you began to vaccinate in the maternity hospitals, ”the“ first lady ”of anti -Vaccinating in a telephone conversation with“ such matters ”is indignant. According to her, the diphtheria epidemic was invented by supporters of vaccination, which gave out seasonal outbreaks of the disease throughout the Soviet Union.

Chervonskaya categorically refused a personal meeting and stated that she was ready to give interviews about vaccinations only on Mondays.

“You are all stitched! - Chervonskaya is upset. - Starting from Lenin’s decree on mass vaccination, we have everything as drug addicts, he did an injection, and that’s it. And we had this healery for four generations, although there were always families that were not vaccinated. ”

Step by step, she describes her original system of views: vaccinations can be done, but only in case of emergency: “Only when the epidemic really threatens the health and life of children. A headache came-take Citramon, a cardiovascular failure came-take a cure for the heart. If an epidemic of infectious diseases comes - a vaccine. For this, Edward Jenner came up with her. ”

Starting from Lenin's decree on mass vaccination, we have everything as drug addicts

“ Think in s yourself, the vaccine is a foreign protein, there God knows that, according to my experimental scientific data,” Chervonskaya continues mysteriously. -Especially in the ADD vaccine, which they began to bring in the 90s, when all the overseas muck poured to us. They came to save Russia from infectious diseases that we did not have, and now, as a result, we do not have healthy children. ”

Galina Petrovna is careful in the formulations, uses scientific terminology, but there is a harsh. He calls a rubbish, live vaccines that are really considered severe, and the former chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko characterizes how “the most serious criminal in our country” for his initiative about the mandatory vaccination of children without the consent of their parents. It becomes clear why Chervonskaya’s activity impresses many Russians far from medicine.

But Chervonskaya was not always so neat in expressions. “Maybe“ Russia is really stupid and killed consciously and deliberately?! ” But we ourselves allow us to treat us like that! I involuntarily recall the words of the former chief of the CIA (I quote based on the materials of Yu. Vorobyevsky): “We will quit everything on ... the shutting and fingering of the Russian people. Sowing the chaos, we will invisibly replace their values ​​with fake ones and force us to believe in them. We will find our like -minded people, our allies and assistants in Russia itself ...” and find it! ” - It is said in one of the articles signed by the name Chervonskaya.

The quote mentioned in the quote, Yuri Vorobyovsky, is a legendary conspiracyologist, author of books about a Masonic conspiracy, reptilians, satanists and concluding an agreement with the Devil Nazis. The ex-director of the CIA (1953-1961) Allen Dulles, accused by patriotic forces of developing a secret plan to decompose and destroy the peoples of the USSR, never wrote and did not say anything like that.

Chervonskaya traveled almost the whole country with paid seminars, now she advises by phone, her articles and videos are the basis of the anti -Vaccinator sector on the Internet. It is considered an independent expert on vaccination problems, the media constantly invite her to their programs or interviews her.

Galina Petrovna may well be considered a lobby for a vaccination skept at the highest level: she participated in the development of the Law “On Immunoprophylaxis of Infectious Diseases” of 1998, which have committed the obligation of vaccination with Soviet practice - since then everything is strictly voluntarily voluntarily.

There is no evidence that Chervonskaya received a medical education. In 1970, she became a candidate of biological sciences, defending the dissertation at the Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after N.F. Gamaley. We managed to talk with her colleague at the Scientific Institute Professor Viktor Zuev. The list of his scientific titles is respected: doctor of medical sciences, member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, member of the New York Academy of Sciences, vice president of the International Academy of Sciences of Nature and Society.

At the Gamaley Institute, Viktor Abramovich, he headed the department of the microbiology of latent infections. “I remember how she worked at the Research Institute - I found her while working in the department with Valentin Solovyov. She really has some specialty, but I'm not sure that she is a vaccine specialist. In Gamalei, she was engaged in cellular crops, I received cells from her, ”the professor recalls.

“I relate to the views of every person calmly and respectfully. Everyone has reasons to think how he likes. To criticize the views of the other is a bad taste. If you ask me how I feel about vaccination, I can say simply: no one has come up with anything more effective against infectious diseases, ”he adds.

"My child has changed"

“When my youngest daughter was five years old, I accidentally saw an interview with Chervonskaya,” says Lyubov Kantarzhi, an employee of the Ryazan newspaper Blagovet and the author of literature for children. “Before that, I made all the vaccinations to the child.”

She assures that her daughter stopped hurting shortly after abandoning vaccination.

No one has yet come up with anything more effective in vaccines against infectious diseases

“The child has changed. She’s late for me, I was shaking over her, vaccinated everything, breastfeed for more than two years. She was born with an indicator of the health of nine out of 10. But from three months she fell ill with a runny nose, so she had a cold and turned into very heavy shapes. And when after five years we refused all vaccinations, my child stopped hurting, straightened. Moms always feel what and how. When my sister had a grandson, I began to advise abandoning vaccinations already in the hospital, ”Cantargi insists.

She calls the production of vaccines a profitable business and a serious way of enrichment, then assures us that even a pediatrician who watched her girl recognized his arguments against vaccination.

“I vaccinated the child. I have not seen obvious harm, I have a child, thank God, did not become a cripple, there were only side diseases. I tend to think that they were from vaccines, as in fact - I do not know. I have the next child without vaccinations at all, and this is a completely different child, with another constitution, another psyche, a more liberated child, more open, more capable of learning, ”says another opponent of vaccination, the mother of three children Lyudmila, giving her knowledge about vaccinations from the texts of the Chervon and homeopathician Alexander Kotok.

The vaccination negative man is outraged that her child is not allowed to a kindergarten due to the lack of a vaccination certificate.

The wall of misunderstanding

Among the parents who have communicated with us, conceded with vaccination, supporters of vaccinations were in the minority. Here is a typical example of the correlation of the forces of the two camps: when the doctors came to the school of one of the city -district towns where the daughter of businesswoman Elena Machinskaya studies and offered to make a “Gardala” vaccine ( a vaccine that protects from several types of human papilloma virus, which, in particular, can cause cervical cancer, vulva and vagina - TD) - approx. Most refused.

“ We have many girls in the class, about 17,” says Elena. - When I began to share with the rest of my parents and say: “Wow, cool, how do you go? Great, free vaccination, ”then collided with a wall of misunderstanding and inadequate. Then I asked the nurse: how many children were vaccinated by the results? She said that there are only two people: my daughter and another girl who has doctors themselves.

- Have you tried to find out the reason for such a negative attitude to vaccinations? - We clarify the mother of three children.

-For me, it was a discovery that people are negatively configured, and just because of Chervonskaya-every second parent referred to her film . It is removed that impressionable people can believe, there are constantly showing some scientists, tragic music, dead children, obviously a grandmother herself did not shoot herself. I even wrote an article about this case . I really want to find money for the film in the style of Chervonskaya, but only without fictional dying, and with real victims of cancer and healthy girls vaccinated from HPV. Maybe this will stop mass anti -Vaccinator hysteria!

Selfish gene

- Anti -Vaccinator views are very widely common, how wide it is impossible to say - people with such views often do not contact doctors at all, at least in our clinic there are fewer. If they go to the doctors, then to those who support their fears and fears with their illiteracy, ”says Fedor Katasonov, a pediatrician of the GMS Clinic of the Clinic of Clinic.

- How dangerous is it?

-A massive refusal of vaccinations is very dangerous: children are sick and dying because of it, and collective immunity is lost. If this continues, many infections that only experts are now found can return. Almost all infections from the vaccination calendar in Russia are not uncommon. In Moscow, a pediatrician may never meet diphtheria, but dozens of children are sick of her and from her. Unfortunately, we do not have accurate statistics.

— Многие родители настолько запуганы страшными историями, что не хотят ставить своим детям вообще никаких прививок. This is fine?

— Если не делать прививки, то можно заболеть всеми инфекциями, которые мы ими предотвращаем, с осложнениями и тяжелыми исходами. Даже ветрянка, обычно протекающая спокойно, может привести к тяжелым последствиям. Ухудшится эпидемиологическая обстановка — непривитые дети могут быть заразными, переносить инфекции и способствовать их дальнейшему распространению. Родителей, которые не прививают своих детей, это заботит очень мало — их волнуют только родные дети.

По мнению Катасонова, главный инструмент в борьбе с нежеланием делать прививки — личная харизма врача, его талант убедительно и спокойно донести информацию до родителей в личной беседе. Мы обсудили с педиатром самые распространенные заблуждения о вакцинах.

Массовый отказ от прививок очень опасен: из-за него болеют и умирают дети, и теряется коллективный иммунитет

«Миф о ядовитых свойствах вакцин основан на содержании в них консервантов и антибиотиков — но в вакцинах они находятся в минимальных количествах, не способных повлиять на ребенка. Даже ртуть (мертиолят), о которой любят говорить антивакцинаторы, содержится в таких дозах, что не дает никакой токсичности. В плане токсичности жить на Третьем кольце опаснее, чем вакцинироваться по самому полному графику», — успокаивает врач.

Хотя у сертифицированных вакцин нет ядовитости, это не значит, что на вакцины не может быть тяжелых реакций, связанных с работой иммунной системы. «В этом и состоит принципиальная разница между российскими и иностранными вакцинами. У российских вакцин есть две крайности: есть еще старые советского дизайна вакцины, которые эффективны, но могут вызывать нежелательные реакции, а есть современный Гриппол, который легко переносится, но не защищает от гриппа», — говорит Катасонов.

Поэтому современные педиатры предпочитают иностранные вакцины. Комбинированная вакцина против дифтерии, столбняка и коклюша АКДС стала притчей во языцех среди противников прививок, и она действительно очень реактогенна. «К ее нежелательным реакциям относятся даже судороги, поэтому предпочтительнее пользоваться Инфанриксом и Пентаксимом. Но если запретят все иностранные препараты, и не будет выбора между АКДС или отказом от прививки, я ее поставлю. Мы с вами привиты АКДС, и ничего, живем», — рассуждает эксперт.

Пожалуй, центральный аргумент антивакцинаторов — вакцины не просто ядовиты, они разрушают нежный мозг ребенка, его тело и даже гены. С прививками связывают ДЦП, аутистические расстройства, хромосомные поломки. “Even an illiterate doctor is clear that there can be no connection here. These violations are most often laid down before the birth of a child, but vaccinations are combined in time with their manifestation, and the parents looking for the cause of the incident find the cause in vaccination. Тем не менее, самая частая реакция на прививку — это отсутствие какой-либо негативной реакции, а связи прививок с аутизмом или другими серьезными нарушениями никакие исследования не находят», — отвечает педиатр.

Обращаясь к родителям-антивакцинаторам, Катасонов выводит чеканную формулировку: «Кажется, что прививка — это действие, которое приведет к нежелательным последствиям для ребенка. Но отказ от прививки — такое же действие, и может привести к куда более тяжелым последствиям. И тогда бездействие не избавит от чувства вины и угрызений совести».

Что говорит Минздрав

Во второй половине 2015 года при поддержке Минздрава был проведен масштабный социологический опрос «Отношение россиян к вакцинации». По его данным, около 5% ответивших являются противниками прививок.

«3,3% респондентов категорически отказываются прививать своих детей «по личным соображениям», еще 2,1% не прививают детей по медицинским показаниям. Среди мотивов «не сделать» прививку лидирующее место занял ответ «надеюсь, что не заболею» — 40%. 32% опрошенных считают прививку бесполезной, 28% думают, что она вредна для здоровья и подрывает иммунитет, а 11% респондентов не прививаются, так как не имеют достаточной информации о пользе профилактических прививок», — рассказывает ТД советник министра здравоохранения Игорь Ланской.
«Как видно из ответов, большинство из тех, кто не делает прививки, просто не имеют соответствующей достоверной информации об их пользе. <…> Наиболее эффективным механизмом борьбы с отказом от прививок и, одновременно, способом формирования приверженности к вакцинации у населения России являются успешно проводимые просветительские коммуникационные кампании», — добавляет Ланской.

Что советует доктор Хаус

«В 1902 году во Франции был принят закон, который ознаменовал собой начало XX века,— говорится в третьем томе «Истории тела». — Этот закон обязывал население проходить противооспенную вакцинацию и сообщать о ряде заразных болезней. В целях охраны общественного здоровья государство создало организацию, которая отменяет соблюдение некоторых частных свобод (например, право отказа от вакцинации). <…> Вмешательство власти в область здравоохранения свидетельствует о «государственном управлении частной жизнью», о котором говорил Мишель Фуко, но также и вдохновляет людей на заботу о себе. Не должен ли хороший гражданин руководствоваться в своем поведении тем, что диктует ему наука?»

Корь по-прежнему одна из главных причин смерти маленьких детей по всему миру. В 2014 году от нее скончались 114 900 человек, в основном — жители стран Азии и Африки в возрасте до пяти лет. Сейчас вакциной от кори привиты 85% детей. Благодаря ей смертность упала в десятки раз — меньше сорока лет назад от кори ежегодно умирали свыше двух с половиной миллионов детей. По подсчетам ученых, только за последние 15 лет вакцинация спасла 17 миллионов детских жизней.

«Мамочкино молочко защищает ребенка всего полгода. Поэтому фармакологи и наживаются на вас — они думают, вы хотите, чтобы ваш малыш выжил. Don't you like it? Пожалуйста, если пара сотен таких вот мамаш будет зажимать сорок баксов на вакцины, то, поверьте мне, цены сразу же упадут», — обращается к антивакцинаторше герой популярного сериала доктор Хаус.

«Я помню, как нас вакцинировали, — рассказывает профессор Зуев, — строем ставили весь класс и вкатывали под лопатку большой иглой — кто-то охал, кто-то ахал. И все было хорошо! Изменились времена, и мы меняемся вместе с ними: меняется экология и еда, которую мы едим. Здоровье детей сейчас тоже меняется — аллергия стала болезнью века. Сейчас есть выбор, есть разные вакцины. Нельзя просто рубить сплеча. Раньше ахали и охали от этих уколов, а сейчас — Петя потерял сознание, Маша покрылась сыпью. Certainly! Другие времена — другие дети. Суть в том, что надо относиться к этому с известной долей осторожности и внимания. Не бывает черного и белого в жизни. Любая популяция гетерогенна. We are all different. И слава богу — если бы мы были одинаковые, мы бы с вами жили в мире оловянных солдатиков».
