The news shocked many people: Grichka Bogdanoff (or Bogdanov) died Tuesday, December 28, 2021 from Covid-19. He was 72 years old. What we learned a few hours later was that his brother Igor was also hospitalized after being infected with the coronavirus. The twins were not vaccinated.
Luc Ferry, philosopher and former Minister of Youth, National Education and Research had nevertheless advised them to do so, as he reveals to the Parisian. “I told them fifty times to get vaccinated against Covid-19, confides Luc Ferry, a thirty-year-old friend of the Bogdanov brothers, with whom he was going on vacation. We talked about it again on the phone less than three weeks ago when everything was going well for them“, he indicates to our colleagues. And to continue:”Grichka, like Igor, was not an antivax. He was antivax for himself, specifies Luc Ferry. I told him it was grotesque. How crazy they were!“
In reality, the twins thought that their hygiene of life protected them according to the former minister, who thus reveals why the twins made the choice not to be vaccinated. He declares : “Being very athletic, without a gram of fat, they believed that the vaccine was more dangerous. They never got sick. (…) Except at 72 years old, the immune system is not as efficient as before. What stupidity, but what stupidity! Grichka was an out of the world, singular character, but anything but a villain. “
The announcement of Grichka’s death upset many personalities including Cyril Hanouna with whom the twins collaborated in 2017 in Do not touch station where they presented a scientific chronicle. With the star of C8, they also have a hit, Bogda Bogdanov, a piece in which it is particularly about their physical appearance. “I have just learned of Grichka’s disappearance, I am really very affected. I will miss him very much. He was a boy of incredible intelligence and self-mockery that commanded respect. I have crazy memories with him. I think a lot about Igor and his family. Very sad“he wrote.
