Sources of the publication URA.RU reported that the chairman of the LDPR, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who had contracted the coronavirus, was connected to a ventilator. At the same time, the press service of the party says that the politician feels well and continues to work. As the director of the National Research Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Viral Infections, infectious disease specialist and immunologist-allergist Georgy Vikulov explained, if the information about connecting Zhirinovsky to a ventilator is true, then this may indicate his “critical condition”.

“Firstly, I am not familiar with his medical history. The second thing is that there is the concept of cellular and humoral immunity. Vladimir Zhirinovsky is already an elderly man, he may have chronic diseases and risk factors at that age, including being overweight. Thirdly, it is necessary to understand specifically why such a severe course has arisen. Perhaps there are factors of a severe course, that is, he is at risk for a severe course of COVID-19. The consequences can be quite serious, because all patients who end up in intensive care already indicate the severity of the condition, and even more so, if a person is connected to a ventilator, this is essentially a critical condition, ”he said.

According to the Mash Telegram channel, Zhirinovsky was hospitalized with 50-70% lung damage and bilateral pneumonia.

In December, the politician on the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" said that he had been vaccinated against the coronavirus eight times. According to Zhirinovsky, he makes new vaccinations quite often - every two months instead of the six recommended by the Ministry of Health.
