Even Doctors Won't Take Putin's Vaccine as COVID-19 Rages in Russia

MOSCOW—After the Kremlin had all but declared victory against the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia—many across the country now believe they’re back to square one.

This month, a raging new wave hit Russia’s big cities. Hospitals quickly turned into “red zones” for infected patients, scientists say they are expecting more than 20,000 new COVID-19 cases a day by the end of June, and all the while, Russian people remain hesitant to take the government at its word.

The Kremlin claimed to be the first country in the world to register a coronavirus vaccine last summer. Throughout the fall and winter, bars, restaurants and theaters remained open, with officials saying they had infection rates under control.

President Vladimir Putin claimed his government’s handling of the pandemic was better than that of the U.S. and the European Union: “It turns out we are better at mobilizing,” he said in February.

6. Sputnik V is an adenovirus based vaccine, similar to J&J and AstraZeneca.

It has been send to other countries and appears to be efficient.
If Russians won't take it, they will pay the price-they are already paying, as delta covid is spreading there.

8. I wasn't referring to the vaccines.

I mean, we took a President from Putin. It went exactly as you would expect.

9. Oh lol

Well, not by Dems votes. More like the country was raped by putin's puppet.

10. Yeah, pretty much.

4. Other countries do, and vaccine is working fine.

San Marino has zero covid cases currently. They vaccinated their own population and are now offering it to tourists.

"SAN MARINO, June 3 (Reuters) - People used to go to San Marino to avoid taxes and collect stamps. Now, the micro-state surrounded by northern Italy is banking on a new way to attract visitors - vaccine tourism."

5. Surprise, surprise. Putin lied.

How horrible that the Russian people are in such a position . . . take the crappy Pooty-Poot vaccine and die or don't take it and die.

If only COVID would take him. Of course, he took a real vaccine while he let his people have the garbage Pooty-Poot version.

7. WTF are you talking about?

Die from what? Who died?
Why spread more lies? We have close to a half a population in the US refusing to vaccinate, and I don't see people here feeling sorry for them.
