Infectious disease doctor Yevgeny Timakov said that the detection of antibodies in all children in Moscow aged 6 to 11 years means that all people are sick with coronavirus, without exception and division by age, Lenta.ru reports.

“It means what has been said all along. It means that children are sick with coronavirus infection. On the delta wave, which lasted six months, on the omicron. This means that absolutely everyone will get sick and receive immunity in a natural way, ”said Timakov.

He noted that the mass vaccination of children in this case may cease to be the only way out of this situation.

“Foreign publications say that immunity in children lasts longer than in adults after suffering a coronavirus infection, it is of better quality,” Timakov said.
