Apparently the world is NOT rushing to get the Russia Covid vaccine.
There are big doubts as to the safety and effacy by the scientific community.
There was a big discussion in the news this morning about it by scientists around the world.
So do not get your hopes up.
The following, often attributed to John Ruskin (maybe incorrectly), seems apropos:
"There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey."
The Russians still can't beat their 3rd World image.

This from the country that showed such great concern for its citizens and emergency workers during the Chernobyl disaster.

I heard they named it Sputnik. Not a joke.

And there are a lot of professional scientific jelly bellies as well - so we need to beware - they are like a load of big kids.
There are DAMN FEW "open minds" in the present population. Yes, we should not be so quick to inject our distrust of Putin and his Russia into purported discoveries or accomplishments. Let's see the results after a period of time.

I took a tour of China years ago, and in going from one city to another, we were scheduled to fly on a Russian airliner. Considering their poor safety record, the tour guide put us up in a hotel overnight so we could get a "real plane" the next day. I wouldn't want to inject anything from Russia into my body.
I don't like the fact that there is a big push to get this vaccine. How can you speed up research? Biological processes can't be rushed. If this vaccine doesn't turn out right, it will be a major blow to the health industry. People are already opposed to getting any kind of vaccine, and if this one starts killing people, well, you get the idea.
