Russia Approved a Covid-19 Vaccine Without Data And Research

On Tuesday, Putin announced on state television that Russia had approved a COVID-19 vaccine.

“I know that it works quite effectively, it forms a stable immunity.” Putin However, without basic peer reviewing of the vaccine, many wonder how safe the science is.

Putin said the vaccine, not-so-subtly named “Sputnik V", has "passed all the necessary tests.” Putin has also claimed his own daughter has taken it‚ which is how all human trials start.

Russia-based clinical trials watchdog ACTO says the country hasn’t even completed testing on 100 people.

Gizmodo reminds readers, it takes time to observe the long-term effects and safety.
