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)

So you're saying they'd gladly send us a not fully tested vaccine? I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Well, to be fair. They are not actually able to send you anything without your government requesting (and buying) it first. That's why I don't worry too much about this particular vaccine. If it doesn't work as intended, then Russia (and any other country that approves it) will be the ones affected; and I really don't think any side effects it may have could be any worse than the virus itself anyways.

As for this fueling the anti-vaxxers, well, I'm seriously starting to think that we're better off if those people don't get vaccinated. The world kinda needs a cleansing of those, and while I won't go out to kill them myself, if they decide to die from their own stupidity I won't try to stop them.
