"Regarding the opinions and position of anti-vaxxers. You see, every person has the right to an opinion, this is absolutely obvious. And if you express this opinion in the family circle, then there is nothing to worry about. If you say this publicly, for example, even in the same social networks, then here you already need to think about the consequences", — said Medvedev.
He noted that this nevertheless «is not a basis for legal liability.» However, if deliberately false information is disseminated in social networks, in the media, aimed at sowing panic and disseminating deliberately false information, «there should be responsibility for this,» Medvedev is convinced. «And such responsibility has been established, and, as far as I know, it even in some cases it was used. Everything else that belongs to the category of «opinions» — well, opinions and opinions, but you still need, as they say, to filter what you say,» he believes. on the Internet, the opinions of doctors about the coronavirus, which cause him ambiguous feelings. «I don’t know what kind of doctors they are, but apparently doctors still, some with degrees, carry such a blizzard that it becomes sad. You even wonder how can a person with a medical education talk such nonsense,» Medvedev said. mustache
