Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine is more than 90% effective, a Health Ministry representative told Reuters hours after Pfizer announced that its own candidate vaccine is 90% effective

Nov. 9

— Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine is more than 90% effective, Reuters cited a Health Ministry representative as saying Monday. The percentage is based on data collated from vaccinations of the public rather than from the vaccine's ongoing Phase 3 trials, Reuters reported.

Joe is viewed as the better choice for handling the pandemic, and the prospect of a viable vaccine would move covid down the list of voter priorities. Vaccine announcements could have easily cost us votes, and it looks like we needed just about every vote we got.

That being said, I'm convinced Russia is either lying or stole pfizer's vaccine.

Russian vaccine (Sputnik) is an adenovirus based vaccine.
Ridiculous to make baseless accusations that make no sense.

Oh my! Russia calls UKs vaccine a monkey vaccine yet the latest info on composition of Sputnik vaccine is that it is veterinary medicine according to the disappointed head of a Russian biopharm company. Meanwhile Putin refuses to take his own vaccine yet offered it to Ukrainians

In case people think I'm joking. I'm not.
Alexander Kudryavtsev who is head
of the Russian biopharmaceutical company, researcher at the Institute of Biochemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences wrote this on his FB last week
