“If we see that omicron cases [in Western countries] are generally mild, we need to remember that those are countries where most older people are vaccinated. I certainly wouldn't assume that everything will pass as easily here.”

“Through the waves of the pandemic, we see that restrictions are having a diminishing effect on demand, and combined with supply restrictions and business closures, we consider that pandemic restrictions have more of an inflationary influence now.”

“I'm calling on all anti-vaxxers who have unleashed merry hell on social media against vaccinations, look into the eyes of those who have lost loved ones. Our Russian vaccine is absolutely safe.”

“I think about sleepless nights when we get a huge number of patients who didn't even bother to use banal protective means. Patients who have gotten the vaccine usually don't have serious symptoms while the unvaccinated come to regret it. Patients who survive after a grave course of illness tell us when they are discharged, 'Doctor, you were right and I will tell everyone that it's necessary to get the vaccine'.”

“The majority of ICU patients in grave condition are unvaccinated. These illnesses could have been very easily avoided if a person had been vaccinated. Those statistics [record 1,015 fatalities reported Tuesday October 19th 2021] are directly linked to vaccinations. The countries with a high share of those vaccinated don't have such bad mortality numbers.”

“A new mutation has arrived, a new strain is active. It's more aggressive, it's harder to recover from, it spreads faster. It's much more likely to penetrate a person's immune system. This dynamic is fairly unexpected given that more than 60% of Muscovites have either already been ill or been vaccinated - it is a large segment of the population... We of course did not expect an increase (in cases), but a decrease. We are very close to stricter decisions - temporary but stricter - in terms of restrictions.”

“During the past week the situation with the spread of the coronavirus infection has sharply deteriorated. We cannot not react to such a situation. To stop the growth of infections and to save people's lives, today I signed a decree providing for non-working days between June 15-19.”

“What’s more concerning is that five deputies have fallen ill with the coronavirus again. Their antibodies hadn’t developed and they got infected.”

“When this all blows over, I believe mortality figures will be in two camps: deaths specifically from Covid-19 and deaths of people who had the virus but weren’t killed by it. I believe Russia is counting accurately while others like Italy, Belgium and the United States are over counting”
