Parasitic diseases reduce immunity, which makes vaccination ineffective, so before that it is worthwhile to undergo an appropriate examination. This was told to socialbites.ca by a professor from the Institute of Medical Parasitology, Tropical and Vector-borne Diseases. EI Marcinov Sechenov University, doctor of medical sciences, parasitologist Yevgeny Morozov.
“Any parasitic disease is dangerous because there is no point in vaccinating against its background – the vaccine will not work. Parasitic diseases suppress the immune system. The vaccine should warn him, but you cannot warn him who does not. When a pet is brought in for vaccination, the vet will almost always ask if the pet has worms. The doctor at the clinic doesn’t ask such questions. As a result, a person who is unaware of his own illness, such as ascariasis, receives a dose of the same COVID-19 vaccine and then becomes infected with it anyway. It can be sometimes. Then we get false statistics that the vaccine didn’t work, and only the sick came with the worms,” he explained.
Morozov added that before being vaccinated against anything, the patient should at least have a stool test – in Russia, helminthiases are the most common parasitic diseases, and many of them can be detected this way.
