Who is the most famous anonymous opponent of vaccinations in Runet

The blogger, known as Amantonio, is a celebrity among Russian-speaking opponents of vaccines, who became one long before the coronavirus pandemic. He has hundreds of thousands of subscribers, to whom he offers to treat coronavirus with black cumin, honey and vitamins and says that “vaginal fluid” is better than antibiotics. For seven years, Amantonio managed to remain anonymous, but critics have recently deanonymized him - they claim that in fact this is not one person, but a creative duo of husband and wife living in Israel .

I - traditional values

The Russian authorities have finally taken care of preserving traditional values in deeds, not in words: the Ministry of Culture presented its register of values that must be preserved and passed on from generation to generation, not allowing external enemies to plant destructive and alien ideals. In this regard, we made a game - try to distinguish the right values from the wrong ones for the sake of saving Russia.

We never tire of saying that our main value is you, dear readers. Your Medusa
