10. They're actually a little behind Pfizer and Moderna in testing

They were still doing a very limited trial when Pfizer and Moderna were starting larger scale trials.

I don't know what mechanism they've used for their vaccine, so I can't comment on the vaccine, itself. However, I imagine what is happening now is the large scale trial with health care and government workers pressured to partake.

None of this stuff is bathtub science and it will take them time to manufacture adequate doses for their population, too.

Putin's announcement early in the fall that they had plenty to go around was premature, to say the least.
