“We cannot play Russian roulette, we must vaccinate all French people with a booster,” said Benjamin Davido

Infectious disease specialist Benjamin Davido was the guest of La Matinale by Laurence Ferrari on CNEWS, this Tuesday, November 9. He returned to the importance of vaccination and in particular the 3rd dose for all French people.

“What is certain is that vaccination is extremely effective because it reduces the risk of being hospitalized by ten,” said Benjamin Davido. And once again, the corollary is that this is why we see people who have not had a booster or who are not vaccinated who end up in the hospital, and that if we want to no longer talk about this disease, it must be silenced, and the vaccine does that very well. It gives asymptomatic forms, but we see that today if we recirculate the virus – this is the situation in other countries, in Europe and even in Russia -, we recreate hospitalizations, we recreate saturation. and unfortunately we recreate deaths. “

“Today we have the tools to protect ourselves over the long term”

Laurence Ferrari recalled that even being double-vaccinated, you could catch the virus. “This is what is extremely important to say, you are right, confirmed Benjamin Davido. It is not because we had a so-called “complete” diagram, that we are 50 years old, that we may not have the virus, on the contrary, and we will recontaminate people, some people will end up. in the hospital because we are all unequal when it comes to illness. ” The infectious disease specialist recalled that a publication has shown that there is a genetic heritage which means that we are more likely to have serious forms depending on our ethnic origin.
