We really have to ask this, someone insane enough to trust Russia with something like this?

A recent poll indicates 33 percent of U.S. respondents would refuse to get the FDA approved vaccine, and no studies of the Russian vax have been submitted by the Russians for peer review.

A TV commentator observed earlier today that Putin would seem more persuasive if he said he took the vaccine, instead of his daughter, but he can say anything, who would challenge him?

Russia has produced some great medicines in the past, along with anti bacterial research in bacteriophages.

So Russia certainly has the capacity to produce vaccines that are safe and effective

in this case, i would have to read a lot about it. but to be fair to the Russians who have to stay up late, they have done some pretty interesting things with bacteriophages.

this is a cool thing that many people don't know about.

Are you nothing but a broken record? So what? Let's say the Russian vaccine is both safe and effective. Wouldn't that be a good thing if Trump bought a hundred million doses? Do you hate Trump and the Russians so badly that you would let tens of thousands of Americans die?

Capacity to do it, and willingness to do it are two very different things. If it turns out to be safe and effective, it will just be by sheer luck.

Just wondered.

I wouldn't trust any vaccine coming out of Russia, China or anywhere else. Heck I wouldn't trust a vaccine that came from here and it's development was rushed without any long term tests.
