Yulia Samoilova and Eurovision 2017

At the beginning of spring 2021, representatives of the Russian pop scene said that Yulia Samoilova would represent the interests of Russia at the European Song Contest. According to sources, the young singer was to sing a song in Kiev called “ Scorching Fire ”. Such famous musicians and lyricists as Leonid Gutkin, Netta Nimrodi and Arie Burshtein worked on the composition.

The public reaction to this news was mixed. Various posts were written on social networks and articles in news publications. Including negative ones. After all, according to a number of analysts, the Russian authorities sent a disabled person to the European song competition specifically to pity viewers around the world, which is a real manifestation of cynicism. Be that as it may, Russia made just such a choice. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian side prohibited the Russian singer from participating in the competition due to the fact that she once performed in Crimea.

Fatal vaccination of Yulia Samoilova

Ukhta resident Yulia Samoilova has been using a wheelchair since childhood. However, limited physical capabilities did not prevent the talented and purposeful girl from taking part in prestigious music competitions and becoming a finalist in the third season of Alla Pugacheva’s show “Factor A”. And soon the strong-willed artist will represent our country at the annual international Eurovision contest, which will be held in Ukraine.

But Yulia Samoilova found herself in the center of attention of the public and the press not only for this reason. The Internet is actively discussing the girl’s statement that the cause of her disability was a medical error. The artist herself claims that the disease that confined her to a wheelchair was caused by a vaccination given at an early age.

Yulia’s words about the doctors’ mistake caused a storm of emotions and became the reason for numerous publications. Now vaccination supporters are furiously indignant, calling what is happening a provocation. And the “anti-vaxxers”, on the contrary, have an ironclad argument “against”.

What will the performance of a special girl at the international competition ultimately turn out to be? Will her personal drama lead to increased interest in genetic diseases in the medical community? What should parents of children who are scheduled to undergo routine vaccinations do? Dni.Ru

We decided to look into these issues and turned to specialists for help.

Difficulties in diagnosis

Future Eurovision participant from Russia Yulia Samoilova has been using a wheelchair since childhood. At the age of 13, she was given a disappointing diagnosis - Werding-Hoffmann spinal amyotrophy. Now this fragile girl with an angelic face has the first group of disabilities.

Earlier, during her performance on the Factor A show, Yulia Samoilova told the jury that she was once an “absolutely healthy child.” Before she was one year old, Julia was no different in her development from other children.

However, suddenly everything changed. As the girl herself said, after an incorrect vaccination, she could no longer walk.

“Then they got the vaccine and she stopped standing on her legs. They treated me and treated me, and I simply began to melt before our eyes: it was getting worse, but, of course, the doctors said that it was because of the disease. Then my mother wrote a refusal to accept all injections and treatment, and the deterioration stopped. My parents took me to all sorts of healers... In the end... they simply supported my condition with massages and manual therapy,” the singer said on her official website.

According to the artist, at first doctors gave her different diagnoses. “There were a lot of diagnoses,” she recalls. However, later doctors agreed on one thing: Yulia suffers from spinal muscular atrophy.

Spinal muscular atrophy is a complex hereditary genetic disease of the nervous system, accompanied by damage to the motor neurons of the spinal cord and the development of muscle weakness in almost all muscle structures of the body. SMA leads to impairment of the ability to sit, move, and self-care. Currently, there are no effective treatments for this serious disease.

Meanwhile, general practitioner, therapist Larisa Alekseeva

asserts: in the case of Yulia Samoilova, everything is not so clear. The specialist believes that the girl may have another congenital disease - cerebral palsy. “I haven’t seen her tests, but I think so. There is indeed muscle atrophy, but the spinal region is still affected,” the expert is sure.

Indeed, it is difficult to diagnose cerebral palsy in a child who is one year old: most children do not really walk until they are one year old. Congenital paralysis appears after the baby stands on his feet. It is then that it becomes noticeable that the child cannot rest on his entire foot and only steps on his toes. “It can be either cerebral palsy or a hereditary autoimmune disease of the spinal cord. Vaccination could not have caused this. In addition, it is possible that there was an injury,” the specialist suggests.

“After” or “as a result”?

Any parent, having learned about a child’s illness, tries to find the cause of the illness. Despite the fact that there are no clinical studies or evidence of the relationship between vaccination and SMA, many parents of children suffering from the same disease as Yulia Samoilova are convinced that vaccinations often become the cause of this terrible disease.

However, according to doctors, vaccination is not the cause of a genetic disease. Experts admit that the introduction of a vaccine may trigger the early onset of the disease, but not the disease itself.

Why are vaccinations often blamed for causing various diseases of the nervous system? The fact is that many genetic abnormalities appear already in childhood - and precisely during those periods when a person is vaccinated. At such an early age, no other important events, except vaccinations, simply happen to the baby. Probably for this reason, parents tend to associate the disease that occurs after the administration of the vaccine with this procedure.

How do you measure a child's temperature? No, we’re not sick, we’re just checking the temperature after 3 vaccinations. While 37.4 we’re waiting for what’s next...

To people who are far from medicine, as well as not very competent doctors, it may seem that there really is a cause-and-effect relationship between vaccination and the subsequent serious illness of the child. When they claim that vaccination causes epilepsy, spinal muscular atrophy, or cystic fibrosis, they probably assume that “after vaccination” means “as a result of.” In reality, all of these diseases would occur without vaccination: people with mutations in a particular gene have virtually no chance that compensation will occur and the disease will not develop.

Meanwhile, in very rare cases, vaccines actually lead to serious consequences. However, if people stop getting vaccinated, then the likelihood of becoming infected with a newly spreading dangerous disease, for example, measles or diphtheria, will significantly exceed the risks of “post-vaccination” complications. We must not forget: it was vaccinations that saved the world.

"Pros and cons"

“With the help of vaccination, humanity has defeated polio and another terrible disease – diphtheria. We don’t want a new plague, we are for vaccinations,” says Larisa Alekseeva.

The expert reminds parents who are faced with the choice of whether to vaccinate their child that they must follow the vaccination schedule existing in our country. Today, there are a wide range of vaccines against each disease.

“Now parents can choose for themselves where, how and what vaccinations to get. This is the choice and right of every person. Now there is such a variety - for example, very good purified vaccines, they are being developed very well in our country. If they are afraid of domestic vaccines, there are plenty of imported ones, although personally I prefer Russian ones. At our medical center, we all get vaccinated against the flu. “Not a single employee got sick,” says the doctor.

The variety of vaccines allows parents to analyze them and select a drug for their child, taking into account all the characteristics of his or her body. This reduces the risk of possible complications.

Let us note that all the talk about the dangers of childhood vaccinations appeared only when the risk of the spread of serious epidemics, which claimed the lives of many people in the past, was reduced to almost a minimum - precisely thanks to vaccination. It seems that the risk of contracting such diseases is extremely low. But this is a consequence of herd immunity, which can disappear if people do not get vaccinated. If people stop getting vaccinated, dangerous diseases will return.

Mass refusal to vaccinate could lead to epidemics in the future. You don’t have to look far for examples: when the number of vaccinated children sharply decreased in the CIS countries in the early 1990s, there was an outbreak of diphtheria.

Meanwhile, doctors have been sounding the alarm lately: in Russia, due to parents’ unjustified refusal to vaccinate, cases of children contracting measles, diphtheria, whooping cough and even polio have become noticeably more frequent. According to Rospotrebnadzor, in Russia in 2021, two people suffered from diphtheria and 162 from measles. According to experts, timely vaccination would have prevented this.

Parents' concerns about whether their child really needs vaccinations almost from birth are easy to explain and understand. Should I get vaccinated? It is the parents who have to make their own decisions in this difficult issue. To finally make your decision, you should carefully study all the arguments for and against.

Proponents of vaccination say:

  • The threat and risk posed by disease are much greater than those posed by vaccinations. Almost all vaccines have the following ratio: low risk – great benefit.
  • There are a huge number of dangerous bacteria “walking” in the world around us, immunity to which is only possible thanks to mass vaccination. It is the latter that saves from outbreaks of epidemics. But their first victims, as a rule, are children.
  • A timely vaccination produces immune bodies in the fragile child’s body to resist the disease. Despite the fact that the vaccine does not protect 100%, the disease is more easily tolerated in vaccinated children.

Experts state that the increasing talk about the dangers of childhood vaccinations is not at all groundless. Unfortunately, situations often occur when vaccinating a child causes complications at best. People who deny the need for mass vaccination cite the following arguments in defense of their opinion:

  • The diseases against which a child is vaccinated have already been defeated or do not pose a serious danger.
  • In the first year and a half of life, a child receives too many vaccinations - this is a serious interference and stress for his immune system.
  • Some vaccines, such as DTP, contain dangerous compounds that cause complications. For example, organic mercury salt, which is the basis of many vaccines, is very toxic even for an adult, not to mention children.
  • No vaccine protects against the disease 100%. The reaction of each organism to a specific vaccine cannot be predicted in advance.
  • Incorrect vaccine administration technique can also cause complications. Parents are not able to control this factor on their own.
  • In conditions of universal vaccination, doctors do not take into account the individual characteristics of a particular child. It happens that children with temporary or absolute contraindications to vaccination are allowed to be vaccinated.
  • The pharmaceutical business is one of the most profitable. For this reason, vaccine manufacturers may be very interested in both mass vaccination and concealing information about possible contraindications and risks.

Continuing the story about vaccinations, of course, this is not a super big statistic, but it is encouraging: 84% of the mothers of our VKontakte group Visiting Dr. Alena believe that #vaccinations SHOULD be done! Hurray comrades, it’s not for nothing that we exist!

Unfortunately, usually no one carefully examines the child before vaccination: there is a schedule of vaccinations that must be met. In addition, there is a plan and virtually no individual approach to patients. As a result, such a serious event in a child’s life as vaccination, which does not tolerate a formal and mass approach, has practically been put on the conveyor belt.

Russian roulette

So could the vaccination given to Yulia trigger a malfunction in her body and give rise to a genetic disease? “It could,” says Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Vladimir Vilyanov

. “It’s impossible to say unequivocally that vaccination has nothing to do with it.”

The expert believes that all these conversations did not arise out of nowhere. “Very often, some hereditary diseases manifest themselves after a cold infection or after a vaccination. As a rule, these processes occur during the first one and a half to two years of life.

“It is impossible to say unequivocally that vaccinations have nothing to do with it. Vaccination is an intervention in cellular metabolism and the patient’s immune status. And a young organism has several critical periods of development, when the most active changes occur in the nervous system, when the planned change of neurons takes place - planned apoptosis.”

This is a very vulnerable period, and at this moment intervention, including in the immunological system, can be fraught with consequences, the expert warns. “It might pass, or it might hit. Therefore, it is impossible to say so unequivocally that vaccinations have nothing to do with it.”

In Russia, vaccinations are mainly given during the first two years of a person’s life. At the same time - during the first few days, weeks, months - the most active processes of programmed apoptosis - genetically programmed cell death, leading to their “careful” disassembly and removal - occur in the child’s body.

One of these most significant apoptosis occurs after 18 months, that is, in the first one and a half to two years of life, the expert says. “It is not yet possible to say for sure whether vaccinations matter here. This issue requires further study, the specialist believes. “It would be nice, at the level of the state health care program, to develop a system for preventing these changes - especially in infancy, early childhood and during puberty, when the body is especially vulnerable to interference in the immune system.”

Does this mean that parents are forced to play Russian roulette? “You’ll be lucky or unlucky”, “if you’ll carry it or not”... Experts recommend: before getting vaccinated, you need to check the immune status and carefully assess the condition of your child.

Immediately before vaccination, you need to take tests, conduct the necessary examinations, assess the factors in the baby’s environment, and raise your family history. If there is the slightest doubt about the child’s health immediately before vaccination, the procedure should be postponed until it is safe.

So can a pre-vaccination examination guarantee that the vaccination will take place safely and without negative consequences? “The survey provides such a guarantee,” says the expert. – If there is an increase in the titer of anti-brain antibodies, there is definitely no need to get vaccinated at this time. And if the titer of anti-brain antibodies is normal - please.”

According to Vladimir Villanov

, the hereditary factor is also of unconditional importance. “This is the very soil on which the disease develops. But what other additional external factors can give impetus to the development of the disease - this question still remains open,” he concluded.
