    Really?

    That's interesting considering that Russia was an ally of North Vietnam whose SAMs blew numerous US aircraft out of the sky in the Vietnam War.

     

    I doubt very much whether the Vietnamese are fussed on the issue of vaccines-or their providence-unlike the lunatics in the West

    Clearly you do not understand today's Vietnam. The younger generations are into US/UK music and films, Kpop and Japanese food. They don't care about 

    Russia. They do rightly or wrongly believe that America is the land of the free and opportunity.

    Do you have a link to a survey of a representative sample of Vietnamese citizens to make this statement or is this just trying to fit in with the prevailing TV hyperbole.....?

    Yesterday and this morning I must have spoken with about 20 Vietnamese. Most do not trust the Russian vaccine but agree that in rural areas many people will use it as instructed by their government.

  3. There are articles in the Vietnamese media reporting today that this Russian vaccine still needs to be tested for safety.

     

    Many Vietnamese would prefer an American or European vaccine because they know it will have been fully tested.

     

    However, in a poor country like Vietnam many people will not be given a choice and will follow their governments' instructions.
