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.

China started giveing some of their military a vaccine before it was finished with all the trials either.
If it had worked as promised, and/or didnt have bad side effects, they would be shouting over the moon, that they had the solution (and started mass vaccination programs in china).  They havn't, thus its likely their "test" of this vaccine on some military personale, didnt work out as they planned.

The same could happend with this russian one, because they skipped some of these steps.
Maybe they find out that a certain amount get a bad reaction or something, and they only find out after they have given millions and millions of shots.

That said soon as we get a vaccine thats proven to work, and tested for sideeffects, everyone should be takeing it.
Anti-vaxxers, shouldn't bring the rest of society down with it (which they could if theres enough of them, and the keep the virus in circulation) because they refuse to take a shot.

"better off not giveing them the shot"
Nah, that will bite us in the end. They will keep the spread alive, and the vaccine might not give us lasting (for years and years) of immunity.
If theres enough that refuse, it means the rest of us, will have to keep going to get the shot, for fear of being infected again (if the virus is still around say 10years from now, because of anti-vaxxers).
