Invited on LCI, Grichka Bogdanoff’s lawyer looks back on the death of the 72-year-old host, who died of Covid-19 and claims that he was not anti-vaccine.
While we learned yesterday, Tuesday December 28, 2021, the death of Grichka Bogdanoff at the age of 72, the causes of his death are now agitating the public sphere. Indeed, as revealed by our colleagues from World, and as later confirmed by his lawyer Me Édouard de Lamaze, Igor’s twin brother had been admitted to intensive care at the Georges-Pompidou hospital suffering from Covid-19 and subsequently succumbed to the disease. Rumors also want the host, a specialist in popular science would not have been vaccinated against the virus. A point that the council wished to clarify, during one of its interventions on LCI, this Wednesday morning.
Was Grichka Bogdanoff vaccinated?
Asked by the journalist for the TF1 group’s news channel, Me Édouard de Lamaze effectively questioned the theory that Grichka Bogdanoff had not received the Covid-19 vaccine: “I think you have to ask yourself the question, tfirst of all, if he was really not vaccinated? Because it belongs to the person, medical confidentiality and his health record“, he began, also pronouncing:”All I can tell you is that it was not an anti-vaccine. Indeed he had very strong scientific knowledge, he has even been abroad, within the framework of NGOs, to defend vaccination. So we have to make a difference between this information, that he would not have been vaccinated and this information which is that of saying: ‘He was anti-vaccine and he had, basically, an action close to certain great figures who were opposed to this vaccine ‘. Not at all“, explained the lawyer.
“He was in favor of the vaccine“
Me Édouard de Lamaze then hammered once again his certainty about Grichka Bogdanoff: “He was in favor of the vaccine and he may not have done so in a personal capacity for medical reasons that I do not know. Me, I am a lawyer, I am not a doctor. But, above all, I know it, because he spoke to me about it several times, he did research on this vaccine, he was perfectly in favor of it and he advocated all barrier gestures with everyone he met. He was not an opponent of the vaccine“, concluded the lawyer of the former TV host.
