It is argued that recent conclusions concerning the Čerenkov effect in a slightly relativistic plasma are incorrect. It is shown that the error resides in the use of the Darwin Hamiltonian to describe interactions in the medium. When the modifications to the Darwin Hamiltonian by the medium are taken into account, the reported effect disappears.
