bkk6060 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I see Putin's daughter took it. I just saw a scientist on TV discussing it and it sounds promising. Who knows sure hope it is the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Well, if it's actually safe and it actually works (to at least 50 percent) then that's great. But we don't know that yet. If it turns out Putin gets lucky with this (great propaganda) then the world might be lucky too, but again, we don't know that yet. If it turns out well, it could be from Mars. So Russia would be OK. If it's flop then I guess so what, most of the world will continue to be skeptical of Putin and he still stays in power. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/russia-unveils-coronavirus-vaccine-claiming-victory-in-global-race-before-final-testing-is-complete/2020/08/11/792f8a54-d813-11ea-a788-2ce86ce81129_story.html Quote Russia unveils covid vaccine ‘Sputnik V’, claiming breakthrough in global race before final testing complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utalkin2me Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I would suspect this is real. Who wants to make themselves look like an idiot spouting off for a dud? I wont be taking anything, I know that. I hardly even see a problem other than everyone on earth has gone completely, <deleted> insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) It's real but released recklessly early. Because first with something is something. But I would bet a mountain of rubles that this Putin's folly vaccine will not end up being the best vaccine we eventually have, as far as safety and effectiveness.

Gene1960 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/astrazeneca-signs-covid-19-shot-deal-russia-days-after-hacking-accusations-surface it looks like Russia isn’t going to rely only on its Sputnik vaccine. Russian drugmaker R-Pharm has signed a licensing deal with Britain's AstraZeneca to produce and distribute doses of its University of Oxford-partnered adenovirus-based COVID-19 shot, AZD1222.

Dumbastheycome Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 If a vaccine need be tested on a small group, then a larger group before acceptance according to convention what sympathy is there for those first test subjects if it all goes wrong ? If it is made publicly available to those who voluntarily are willing then what difference is there in that to a selected 1000 ? In a similar sense why is it that a potential cancer treatment for terminal cancers must undergo years long select evaluations to check for side effects while thousands die waiting ? Given that the fast track process to develop a vaccine for C-19 has been based on huge injections of taxpayer cash as an incentive is there any surprise the competition is intense to capitalize, double dip and screw the public yet again while playing a power game !
