Russia registers virus vaccine, Putin’s daughter given it

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Tuesday became the first country to officially register a coronavirus vaccine and declare it ready for use, despite international skepticism. President Vladimir Putin said that one of his daughters has already been inoculated.

Putin emphasized that the vaccine underwent the necessary tests and has proven efficient, offering a lasting immunity from the coronavirus. However, scientists at home and abroad have been sounding the alarm that the rush to start using the vaccine before Phase 3 trials — which normally last for months and involve thousands of people — could backfire.

Speaking at a government meeting Tuesday, Putin said that the vaccine has undergone proper testing and is safe.

“I would like to repeat that it has passed all the necessary tests,” he said. “The most important thing is to ensure full safety of using the vaccine and its efficiency.”

The Russian leader added that one of his two adult daughters has received two shots of the vaccine. “She has taken part in the experiment,” Putin said.

Putin said that his daughter had a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) on the day of the first vaccine injection, and then it dropped to just over 37 degrees (98.6 Fahrenheit) on the following day. After the second shot she again had a slight increase in temperature, but then it was all over.

“She’s feeling well and has high number of antibodies,” Putin added. He didn’t specify which of his two daughters — Maria or Katerina — received the vaccine.

Russian authorities have said that medical workers, teachers and other risk groups will be the first to be inoculated. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that the vaccination of doctors could start as early as this month.

The Health Ministry said in Tuesday’s statement that the vaccine is expected to provide immunity from the coronavirus for up to two years.

Putin emphasized that vaccination will be voluntary,

Russian officials have said that large-scale production of the vaccine will start in September, and mass vaccination may begin as early as October.

WOW...

That is some sick shyt to use your own daughter as a test dummy.

It's cats with his line of thinking is why shyt spread so fast.

Russian scientist can be extremely smart when coming up with inventions
but no I'm not trusting Putin on this

 

[keond]

Yup, and idk if its just me but the rona numbers been looking funny ever since trump took over the cdc data but im not a data analyst theres not much i can say. Hopefully there's people out there doing a comprehensive study because i dont believe shyt that dude says

They have also slowed down testing

no cure, no chance

no cure, no chance

but get this
only 4 cases and New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed four new locally transmitted coronavirus cases on Tuesday night, and announced that New Zealand's most populous city, Auckland, will temporarily see level three restrictions introduced for three days starting from midday on Wednesday.

We fukked

we’re already fukked, vaccine or no vaccine

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

we’re already fukked, vaccine or no vaccine

Even if we get to zero cases per day which is almost impossible at this moment

Here in Canada its around 600 cases per day
Do u know how long thats going to take to get it to zero ...months


Imagin america..they getting 50k xases per day
Going to takd forever to get that to zero

 

[Paper Boi]

no cure, no chance

so if they didn't get it from travel and they had no cases for 102 days... this shyt came out of thin air?

This shyt going to be here for like 5 years breh
God pls let this vaccine work

they want football

Cliffs? Not watching 14 minutes without an incentive. Especially since pressers are often a glorified interpretation of whatever study they're highlighting. We've seen this with the Oxford vaccine already.

That’s the most interesting thing, I think they shut down traveling as well. Unless people come over on a boat there’s another way to transmit this virus

 

[WaveMolecules]

So many diseases that kill humans regularly don't have vaccines, why would covid be different?
