"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."
This is exactly my point actually. China tried something and didn't work, the world kept moving to the next thing. Now Russia is trying something and if it doesn't work, the world will keep moving to the next thing.
"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)."
The thing is that you won't be able to force an anti-vaxxer to get vaccinated, the same way he will not be able to force you not to.
And I don't think anti-vaxxers account for 30% of the world population, which means we could reach herd immunity without them; and even if we don't, I really don't mind taking a shot every year.
Besides, it's not like we can actually stop Russia from massively testing the vaccine on their own people. All we can do is watch, and if it works, then we can buy it from them.
