Anti-influenzal fraud

Somehow to Maria Stepanovna Nekrasova’s house, inhabitants of Donetsk region, knocked strangers. They were called as workers of veterinary medicine and suggested to make for 50 hryvnias an inoculation from chicken flu. Matter in how unexpected visitors explained that on the estate Maria Stepanovna holds some tens hens, and about their safety didn’t see to it. And about the same. And a bird’s illness – very dangerous. If something happens, warned, it is possible not only a bird, and and own health to execute. And it at the best. Thus stuck bad shot, say, guess, than everything can turn back …

Somehow to Maria Stepanovna Nekrasova’s house, inhabitants of Donetsk region, knocked strangers. They were called as workers of veterinary medicine and suggested to make for 50 hryvnias an inoculation from chicken flu. Matter in how unexpected visitors explained that on the estate Maria Stepanovna holds some tens hens, and about their safety didn’t see to it. And about the same. And a bird’s illness – very dangerous. If something happens, warned, it is possible not only a bird, and and own health to execute. And it at the best. Thus stuck bad shot, say, guess, than everything can turn back…

In a word, visitors gave the most powerful, from the point of view of Maria Stepanovna, arguments in favor of immediate vaccination. Thus especially emphasized that chicken flu in Ukraine is already revealed. Not all peasants appeared such gawks, as Maria Stepanovna. Someone didn’t believe "veterinarians" for one simple reason – for the services those broke, to a country measure, very high price. Others appeared mistrustful by the nature: they decided to check, whether all here the truth about what strangers speak, and whether it is necessary them to take a word. Therefore called by phone in a regional sanepidemstantsiya, and from there heard: keep from swindlers far away as actually no vaccine from bird flu is present. Meaningly I do not call the village and the area where there were these events. And not only because about it victims asked. As showed further events, pseudo-veterinarians "were lit" at once in several regions of Donetsk region. Besides, people who suggested to carry out erzats-vaccination for a certain sum, appeared and in other areas. Paraphrasing known expression, it is possible to tell: to whom bird flu, a coma – native mother.

In the Department of Internal Affairs of Donetsk region on a question, whether it is known to them that in the region under the pretext of veterinarians Ostap Bender’s followers act, answered kazenno, say, complaints about it didn’t arrive. And there are no complaints, means and the problem isn’t present. And if there is no problem about what it is possible to speak? And so, on this message our communication with representatives of law enforcement agencies also ended. And here I received what information from the manager of epidemiological department of a regional sanepidemstantsiya Tamara Bilomiri:

- Swindlers use insufficient awareness of rural dwellers. The problem is also that the virus of bird flu mutates over time. Besides, it changes very actively. The vaccine which can show today encouraging results, tomorrow already can become outdated absolutely. It already will be to nobody necessary.

- Unfortunately, the press not always appears at height. In a pursuit of sensation separate mass media give unreliable information – the chief of Donetsk regional management of veterinary medicine Anatoly Prigodin shared the thought. – Appearance of pseudo-veterinarians on time coincided with journalistic messages on mass death of migratory birds in our region. As it appeared shortly, one refile and two cormorants actually was lost, their carcasses after all were sent for researches in laboratory. A virus of bird flu in them wasn’t. From what birds were lost? I answer: flight for birds – business hard. They should overcome very big distances, and not each bird copes with very big loadings. So was always.

- Let’s come back to a vaccination subject. As I know, on Donetsk integrated poultry farms of an inoculation do. What it for inoculations?

- Workers of integrated poultry farms impart from three strains of usual flu which expect this year. The matter is that, getting to an organism where there is a virus of simple flu, the virus of the bird’s can mutate, and then fight against it (and without that difficult) can become complicated even more. Pessimists predict that in that case the huge number of people can catch a pernicious virus. The similar case is already known in the history. I want to remind that "Spaniard" who took away in days of the First World War of life of millions people, actually was a modified virus of bird flu. I.e. before a problem of creation of a vaccine the mankind already costs nearly hundred years. And as to an inoculation from usual flu, more than a half of workers of Donetsk integrated poultry farms already passed vaccination. In total in Donetsk region 25 integrated poultry farms on which 7,5 million feathery contain work. As much again is on private estates. If to this quantity to add still wild ducks and geese then that on each inhabitant of area, considering babies, it is necessary on four birds. So, field of activity for swindlers as we see, remains big. It is possible to tell that to rural dwellers very much not schastlivit. It is almost unique category of our population which suffers almost from everything. Peasants aren’t rescued even by big crops. Explanation simple: than more than that bread they grow up, cheaper it costs.

It is noticed that among present oligarchs there is no who would begin the professional way as speak in such cases, from a plow. However, in villages about uncountable riches conversations already also aren’t conducted. Here reflect much more ordinary: whether money for a food and clothes will suffice. And that in the former state farms and collective farms kopeks as before pay, and other earnings it is not supposed, all expectations assign to own estate where nagulivaet the kgs any living creatures, and on city markets where it is possible to sell these kgs and though somehow to improve the financial position. Nevertheless, today and to these expectations it is not fated to justify. After all who in the conditions of an "influenzal" agiotage zaxotit to buy "private" to a cock which, unlike the "factory" relatives, for life was able not pass medical, i.e. veterinary inspection. And now new problem: swindlers "got". The truth tell – the trouble one doesn’t go.
