So, Russia says it has the world's first COVID-19 vaccine?

I say they only made it (if it's real) from information they stole about other countries' vaccines, and I sincerely doubt they'd share it with us because they don't give a fuck about most countries outside of Russia.

Even if they do help the rest of us, it changes nothing between them and us.

eh they just skipped a testing stage (or two. I don't really care).

There's nothing worth sharing unless the Russian guinea pigs make it through without too many side effects. But at that point there will be more vaccines ready to use.

They didn't do Phase 3 (or possibly even Phase 2) trials, they're rushing it out before it's actually been properly tested to prove it works.

There is still no COVID-19 vaccine that has completed all three phases of proper testing. (Though 8 have reached the final stage)

The only thing this will do in the end is serving anti-vaxxers a 10-course menu if there will be any side effects from those untested vaccines. They would be able to point at that vaccine forever to make themselves look like being in the right with not getting vaccinated.

My wife already saw a video from anti-vaxxers today that declared covid a ploy from deep government and Bill Gates to get people "vaccined", sorry, chipped to make them docile like a pet. My wife laughed it off, but I got really upset from that video, so much that I couldn't take the misinformation propaganda in it anymore after a couple minutes, understanding where this was going and what it entails.
