Head of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine: vaccine production in the country was completely destroyed in the 1990s

67

In Ukraine, negative trends were reported associated with the actual loss of the vaccine production system. According to the Minister of Health of Ukraine Maxim Stepanov, the production of vaccines in the country "was completely destroyed in the 1990s."

This statement was made by an official of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers in an interview with Radio Liberty. According to Stepanov, he repeatedly spoke with President Zelenskiy about the possibilities to restore the very system of vaccine production in the country.



The minister said that today the health care system of Ukraine uses foreign vaccines, including influenza vaccines.

Stepanov:

We have all the necessary scientific potential and a good school. But it will take several years for us to have our own vaccine developed by our scientists.

The official said that he had a conversation with representatives of the pharmaceutical business - the heads of enterprises that have special certification for the production of vaccines.

Let us recall that in Ukraine there are serious problems with vaccination for a number of diseases, including measles. Because of this, disease outbreaks occurred in different parts of the country.

        We have all the necessary scientific potential and a good school. But it will take several years for us to have our own vaccine developed by our scientists.

        More precisely, it takes time so that Ukraine has its own scientists who can create a simple flu vaccine.

                      And if not enough tests are carried out continuously for months, then the undetected patients will affect the statistics. One out of ten was determined by tests - there will be one out of five, out of three, and so on.
                      The fact that one of the twelve is revealed means that it is carried out at the slightest suspicion or wires.

              Todurov is in a protracted conflict with the ministry, and he won't tell you that.
              He's an excellent specialist, no question, but in Ukraine the institute he runs is known for the fabulous sums that are ripped off patients, despite the fact that operations are carried out for state funding.

              Another thing is that often parents themselves prohibit vaccinating children under a far-fetched pretext - there is such a fashionable trend. And it's difficult to fight it.

      "It was completely destroyed in the 1990s."
      After secession from the USSR, they were just beginning to destroy what they believed to be an "independent and rich" state. The peak of destruction of everything, incl. and pharmacology, the Soviet school of virology began after the first orange in 2004, and since 2014 completely went crazy.

      This is not about the production of vaccines, but about the development of new ones.
      According to the minister himself, there is equipment for production.
      ... I have already held several meetings with our entrepreneurs who have appropriate lines. Our enterprises "Farmak", "Likhi", which have corresponding certified vaccine production lines, can produce either a Ukrainian vaccine, if it appears, or another

      I wonder how many countries in the world are developing new vaccines?

          Avian flu vaccine was also "scarce", but it was supplied to many countries for thanks. Thanks to WHO.

            The question is in what quantity and quality of assistance. As an example, in Ukraine, since 2015, there is no BCG vaccination, they themselves refused the Russian one at a normal price, and they still do not supply foreign ones. Of the latter, it was a scandal with supposedly French but in fact Indian. And with stories that children have paralysis of the legs for 3 days after super duper combined vaccinations in Kiev, you will not surprise anyone. Who is smarter, they simply refuse, or in private clinics by all truth or by crook they are made by foreign ones, including contraband Russian ones.

      Who has scientific potential and a good school, Ukraine? It's funny. It is economically unprofitable to develop and produce a vaccine, invest billions of dollars to vaccinate Ukrainians, it is easier to buy an imported one, with a corresponding rollback, and you can buy an expired one at a higher price.

      Stepanov:
      We have all the necessary scientific potential and a good school. But it will take several years for us to have our own vaccine developed by our scientists.

      What's the potential? A set of names of graduates of specialized universities? Everything has been destroyed since the 90s. More than 20 years of experience in practical work on the topic. Obviously, the minister wanted to sweeten the pill with a phrase about potential. I should have said that "... the production of vaccines in the country" was completely destroyed in the 1990s, "there is NO chance of recovery."

      The official stated that held a conversation with representatives of the pharmaceutical business - heads of enterprises with special certification for the production of vaccines.

      Which sent him to hell, because during an epidemic, it is more profitable to sell vaccines to the West than to negotiate something with the poor and corrupt state "404", especially since there are no restrictions on the export of vaccines, and pharmacology in Ukraine (its remnants) probably belongs to senior comrades ...

      )))) Excuse me, but with the accumulative principle, what will change?)))) Nothing. Therefore, from the very beginning I said - it is necessary to look at the number of identified tests.
      ... One in ten was determined by tests - there will be one in five, three and so on.

      -)))) But how could you diagnose him without a test?))) The diagnosis is confirmed by the test

      There is a minister, there is no medicine! Ulianka-death has reached the goal :-)
      But what about the Lugar (Pentagon) death laboratories?
      Why are they located in Myzdobulsk?
      Let them make vaccines against obscurantism, fascism and Nazism, worse than measles and COVID, destroying the remnants of the former luxury of the Ukrainian SSR. Sukhsan just in case.

      According to the Minister of Health of Ukraine Maxim Stepanov, the production of vaccines in the country "was completely destroyed in the 1990s."

      As always, Maxim Stepanov is brewing!
      In Ukraine, there was a wonderful seller of democracy, Oksana Suprun, who carried out a jewelry reform of the country's health care according to Western patterns. Now she can be smeared instead of brilliant green, pricked like inoculations, or just apply her photo to a sore spot, they will heal instantly!
