Do you think cryo repair will not require nano?

Response to brian wowk, PhD, and longtime cryo has said that chemical fixation will not allow revival

The simple fact is that all currently cryopreserved patients will require something as advanced as molecular nanotechnology to repair them. I don't care "how close they are to normal biological condition". The person was sick enough to die. They'll need a new body. The cryoprotectant is toxic. Perfusion is never perfect. There are cracks. Proteins are not in their naturally folded configurations. I could go on and on. They just ain't coming back without some very very advanced molecular repair.

Does anyone disagree with the above? So as long as we are doing molecular repair anyway, I don't see how it would be any harder to remove the cross-links caused by the fixative. Chemical fixation has long been the gold standard for preserving tissue structure.
