A true “double blind” trial that lasted only 10 days? How many of those on the placebo reported side effects?

No. It is just 10 days. If you forgot: Sputnik V is 2-steps vaccine. After 10 days more they will have next injection. Then they will be under control for 3 or 6 month more.

This is simply in the early stages of the Phase 3 trial. Just like several other vaccines.
Except it's also for sale, despite the Phase 3 trial that is normally required to demonstrate safety not being completed. Mr Putin does things differently.

No. Phase 3 is for to demonstrate effectiveness. Safety: phase 1 - animals and phase 2 - humans. What "safety" they can test for vector what is tested and used more than 6 years already in Russian vaccines against Ebola and SARS?

>>>>>>>Except it's also for sale

It isn't Putin's business. It is Moscow governor (mayor) Sobianin. As New-York city in US Moscow is "city-state" - governor here is quite independent from state and president. Moscow city's yearly budget is bigger than budget of Philippines or Qatar or Pakistan.
