Russian COVID vaccine - published results

[StevieWonders]

Russian TV just announced news about first state-developed drug against COVID. "Tested for safe use, patented. Clinical trial for effectiveness will start today. Kills virus. Expected effectiveness 99%." - quotes from chief of state bio-medical agency Skvortcova.

Is that the same agency that certified Novichok?

Why? Do you think what Russia has enough smart guys for to fill one only agency? Well if so, then the same agency should be accused in installation of few US presidents...

Why I Got the Russian Vaccine
A New York Times reporter juggled fears engendered by the politicized rollout of the Sputnik V vaccine with the urge to gain protection from the deadly virus.

An American journalist living in Russia with no alternative vaccines available decides to use the only vaccine to hand. Not really a “Hold the front page” story.

Meanwhile, the head of state of the UK has taken a vaccine, although we don't know which of them.

Just in from the BBC:

Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine gives around 92% protection against Covid-19, late stage trial results published in The Lancet reveal.
It has also been deemed to be safe - and offered complete protection against hospitalisation and death.

As I’ve posted on several occasions I’ve never doubted the ability of Russians to develop an effective vaccine. The following article from The New Yorker however while on the whole favourable (the writer ends up getting vaccinated with Sputnik V) does highlight several skirmishes with facts by the Russian team along the way and the role of Russian disinformation generally

The Washington Post’s story is rather more aggressive
