No surprise that RV failed to mention this amongst the 25 Belarus and Khabarovsk threads :roll:.
No surprise either that the tired old West, and its second class vaccine science, are bitterly trying to detract from Russia's world leading success.

"In 1957, the successful launch of the first man-made satellite by the Soviet Union activated space research in the entire world. Thanks to this comparison, the vaccine received the name of Sputnik V," the website explains. It is noted that currently over 160 vaccines against the coronavirus are developed worldwide.
The web resource is created "to spread detailed and up-to-date information about the vaccine" and "to fight the disinformation campaign about the vaccine launched by several international news outlets," the statement said. Earlier on Tuesday, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev stated that there are "coordinated and carefully planned information attacks on the Russian vaccine" in the world.
