“Grichka Bogdanoff was not anti-vaccine”, assures his lawyer on LCI

Grichka Bogdanoff, who died Tuesday in Paris as a result of Covid-19, was not an opponent of vaccination against this virus. This is what his lawyer, Edouard de Lamaze, said on Wednesday on LCI, responding to a controversy triggered on social networks around the death of the host and scientist, twin of Igor Bogdanoff.

“We must first ask the question [de savoir] if he was not vaccinated “, first insisted the lawyer, not confirming this information given by sources close to Grishka. “It’s medical secrecy.”

Anyway, Grichka Bogdanoff “was not an anti-vaccine”, hammered his lawyer. “He had strong scientific knowledge. He did research, he was perfectly in favor of it, he was not an opponent”, according to him. Edouard de Lamaze also mentioned the hypothesis that his client may have had “a contraindication to vaccination” due to a specific health problem, again referring to medical confidentiality.

As for Igor, his brother admitted to intensive care the same day, in mid-December, the lawyer did not give more information on his state of health. “I want to let the family mourn Grichka”, he replied. “They were both very close. This is going to be very serious news for Igor. All in good time. They loved each other deeply, they were complementary. For Igor, this is going to be a terrible shock.”
