Molecular biologist, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Pyotr Chumakov – do not confuse with his brother Konstantin, a virologist, WHO advisor and scientific director of the vaccine research department of the US Food and Drug Administration – on the air of Radio Russia outlined a sensational version of the origin of the omicron coronavirus strain:
“It is quite obvious that this [штаммы „дельта” и „омикрон”] one hand business. Again, this is a conspiracy theory. But I believe so. Now they decided to end the pandemic, because the time has come for drastic changes in the world. A lot will change in the next three to four months. The one who launched it decided to end the pandemic. Why do I think so? See what this mutation is. It’s not just a mutation. They collected all the mutations that were known that were already encountered in this virus spontaneously. That is, when it evolved, some mutations arose there that caused some changes in its properties. Moreover, they introduced another insert of three amino acids. How it could have arisen so independently in this strain – no one can explain. They made such a super-attenuated strain. As a person who has done a lot of bioselection of viruses for other purposes – in order to just weaken their properties – I understand that this task is quite simple. Why was it released in Africa? Because there are a lot of HIV-infected people there. And when the question arises: “Why did he gain so quickly and so much?” – this is explained. But all the same, it is very strange why this is exactly one variant of this kind that gathered, immediately gained 32 mutations. Others seem to have everything “delta” there. I have the impression that this is all really artificial: both the beginning and the end. And now the moment has simply come when, for some political reason, they decided to quickly turn the pandemic down. “
A week earlier, on the air of the same radio station, Chumakov said:
“All the cases that have now been recorded are quite mild: from asymptomatic to a small short-term malaise, dry cough, some such small symptoms. It is a little too early, of course, to say that any severe forms are completely absent, because for this it is necessary that there be a larger number of cases, including from all ages, including the age group over 65 years old. <...> If it is confirmed that, firstly, this strain is spreading rapidly, that is, it is more infectious, and, secondly, that it does not cause any serious pathologies, then this can really indicate that nature has created a live coronavirus vaccine that could practically end the pandemic. Because if this strain spreads quickly, displacing disease-causing strains, then a large number of people will simply be vaccinated naturally, they will become immune to severe forms of the disease. “
Now he already believes that the “live vaccine” was not created by nature. It remains unclear why he believes the strain was created by the British. Previously, they tried to attribute the dubious honor of artificial creation of the SARS Cov-2 virus only to Chinese researchers.
