The virologist Anatoly Altstein considered talk of "victory over cancer" in Russia too early.
More statistics are needed.
A "serious approach" to the issue is required. About this, the chief researcher of the research center for epidemiology and microbiology. N. F. Gamalei said in a conversation with the radio station "Moscow is speaking".
Of course, it cannot be said that Russia has defeated cancer. If you take this issue seriously, then you should wait. How does this even happen? Not just one case - there must be statistics. Now it is not correct to talk about defeating cancer, although the work carried out by the Gamaliya Center is very important. The methods used to create this vaccine are the same methods used in other countries around the world. You cannot say that we made a great discovery and defeated cancer. It still takes a long time.
