Russia’s Stealthy Methods Against Coronavirus Are Spreading – Now Is The Best Time To Do It

The cases in the schools were not surprising

Valdas Pečeliūnas, president of the Santara Clinics Medical Union, commented on the situation when the children were infected with the coronavirus at the beginning of the program. According to him, such a scenario was not at all surprising. Meanwhile, various conspiracy theories can be found that children do not have coronavirus and do not transmit the virus at all.

“It just came to our attention then. From what I could tell, those kids weren’t even infected at school. It’s great that those cases haven’t spread very strongly, but this is an absolutely plausible scenario because kids are They get sick, children get infected and infect others.

There is a debate that young children, especially school children, are slightly less prone to infection, but there is no talk that they cannot become infected. Another thing is that children are not at high risk of being seriously affected by the coronavirus. On the other hand, if the virus spreads among children, it will also spread in society.

People at risk can become infected, which can be very painful. Now it is very important how to respond to those cases. The problem may not be that we were poorly prepared or there was a bad scenario, it is very important how we are going to face those situations, ”said the program. Delphi Day assured the interlocutor.

It could be worse in the future

When asked what we can expect in Lithuania in the future, the interlocutor assured that large spreads are possible.

“I would say that there was time to prepare for this school year and if there will be unique chimneys that institutions will be able to locate, it can be seen as a quick response and good, quality work.

Yes, there can be large areas and large shoots. Yes, there have been people like that in the world, for example, in the United States, Israel and Germany itself ”, she says.

Conspiracy theories are spreading

Blogger Ričardas Savukynas points out that there are still some people who believe that the virus does not exist and spread false theories. According to her, it is easy to notice when people spread lies; in most cases, their statements are completely inconsistent or contradict each other.

“The virus itself is in doubt and, strangely, there are paradoxical notions. When we talk about those people who spread conspiracy theories, they often have completely uncoordinated and opposing ideas in their minds.

You can say yourself in one sentence that there is no virus and this is made up, and in another sentence you can say that here is Bill Gates’ plan to eradicate humanity. Of course, not only are there contradictions, and some theories are quite consistent, but very often the people who spread those ideas have multiple theories at once and they don’t fit.

For example, if the virus is there to destroy humanity, then it is. But the same person can say that the virus does not exist, “he says.

Even smart people come up with theories

V. Pečeliūnas, meanwhile, realizes that he works in the field where he has to argue with people who have certain conclusions about oncology almost every day. All of this may also be related to conspiracy theories about the coronavirus.

“The people most sensitive to conspiracy theories are those with anxiety. Then there is a desire to somehow control the situation, to rationalize, and conspiracy theories, when there are instabilities, spread more. People are just trying to reassure themselves. If you imagine that you understand the situation, then you can control it in one way or another. All this is explained by psychological mechanisms.

The second thing is that in the course of evolution, that suspicion and caution is really what helps to survive. The most suspicious people tend to believe more in conspiracy theories, distrust and this is a natural trait, perhaps I would say more strongly that a very intelligent person has said that suspicion or paranoia is the scourge of intelligent people. Those people who are truly intelligent, deep in thought and contemplation, find it easy to come up with theories.

I also work in an area where there are many myths, I work in oncology. I can say that I have to discuss various conclusions with people almost every day at work, ”he says.

People deliberately refuse to believe the facts

R. Savukynas says that there are some people who just deliberately refuse to believe the facts, so discussions with those people are difficult.

“It just came to our attention then. Some people are just fooled by conspiracy theories and don’t know the theories about how resistance develops. It’s very common here among antivakserių. They don’t know how that resistance to the virus develops, they don’t understand how immunity works.

If you explain how things work, then they don’t spread that conspiracy theory anymore because they get real knowledge, but there are some people who don’t accept the correct information because they have their own purposeful thinking, and their essence is to reject the real facts and accept fictitious and falsified facts that support that theory. It is not possible to argue with those people, “said R. Savukynas on the show.

Russia is also involved in spreading the conspiracies.

Several conspiracy theories emerge on the Russian side, notes R. Savukynas. According to him, certain covert methods are used that are spread through the internet or social networks.

“There are also politicians in Lithuania who are popping a bubble over the fact that the virus is a conspiracy, there is no virus. They see that this can attract a group of voters who would otherwise feel rejected. They are horrible manipulations of the people, but they are. Another thing, since the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic, is the influence of Russia. Russia puts its nails in almost all places where there are controversies, some kind of social conflicts, conflicts of opinion.

There is a lot of misinformation in the world that was created by Russia in particular, and there was probably only a brief moment when Russia had slowed it down a bit, that is, when the number of coronavirus cases in Russia itself began. to grow. Then part of the Russian media began to spread the real information that the virus really exists, there is danger, but it lasted quite a long time, and again they began to spread disinformation.

For this, certain covert methods are used, some type of web pages that do not have a clear owner, sources or the like. These pages are distributed on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

Also used by fake people account’tai (online accounts) – A person on Facebook looks like a normal user, but when you actually search for a photo through a search engine, you may find that the photo belongs to someone else, or that it was taken from those exchanged photos, or that the name is not appropriate . Someone does it and does it on a large scale, ”says R. Savukynas.
