The 1.5 hour long interview below is only in Russian, but if you can understand it, it is well worth watching, because a lot of important information is covered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The interviewer is Ksenia Sobchak, who is very liberal &#8211; think of her as like a Russian Rachel Maddow. Like liberals in the West, she very much wants to believe the COVID situation is much worse than it really is. Myasnikov explains to her in detail why it is in fact very difficult to assign &#8217;cause of death&#8217; in most cases, because there are usually several, in addition to a lot of other things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It is a great interview, in which the good doctor finally loses his patience and tells her its not nearly as dangerous as people think, and that the whole world has over-reacted. He also insists that the death numbers in the West are way over-counted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">He&#8217;s right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This interview is also a great example of the high level of journalism in Russia &#8211; this is much more genuine, open, exciting, and authentic than most of what is on mainstream media in the West. Just watch a few seconds of the intro, and you will get the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6CpI22QJ07Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">From the Moscow Times:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Russia\u2019s head of coronavirus information has suggested that global anxiety over the pandemic is misplaced<\/strong>, his latest controversial comment after saying that the infection would kill as many people as it needs to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Doctor and television presenter Alexander Myasnikov<strong>\u00a0was\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themoscowtimes.com\/2020\/04\/15\/tv-doctor-to-head-russias-coronavirus-information-center-a70001\">appointed<\/a>\u00a0in April to his new role<\/strong>\u00a0of informing Russians about coronavirus treatment and prevention methods and to battle \u201cfake news\u201d about Covid-19.
