Dear friends,
As I expected, today Russia has registered the first vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. I took a quick look at CNN and BBC, and did not find that reported (maybe they have added it since, I only scanned the headlines).
As most of you know, I don’t follow the legacy corporate ziomedia, but in this case, maybe I could ask all of you to let me know here IF the western media covers the registration of this first vaccine and HOW they cover it.
So here is my request:
If you come across any article discussing the fact that Russia was the first country on the planet to register a vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, please post a link to it in the comments section. If you want, please include a key excerpt and a personal commentary.
Deal?
I am really interested to see if ANY western media outlets will honestly cover this or not (I think not).
Finally, this is not an English language blog, only a MOSTLY English. So please feel free to include articles in any language, but please also add a translated summary.
Many thanks and hugs and cheers to all,
The Saker

It was covered on local television news. WDIV in Detroit ran a story about Russia’s covid-19 vaccine at 5:43 this morning.
All German media reported it. General tone: An irresponsible act of Putin. Is going to sacrifice his daughter?
Almost hateful: One of Germanies greatest Newspapers:

WOW😨
That article made the Norwegian newspapers look proRussian in comparison🙄
Per,
I tried to look through some Norwegian sources and I didn’t think they seemed too bad – though that’s comparing them with the purely negative responses in the UK. Obviously, I defer to you on thus. :-)
What all critics seem to not mention is that the vaccine is based on a tested and proven technology in many previous vaccines.
It is based on a human adenovirus, using it as a carrier for COVID19 features which trigger the immune system and reaction. Producing anti bodies without introducing any corona virus modification or RNA into the human body.

“registered, but not allowed”
In Slovenia, approximately half of major media have the news about a Russian vaccine at least mentioned somewhere on their main page in the morning of August 12th. Mostly they are very critical because of a short testing time. Sometimes it is hinted, sometimes said directly, regarding vaccines Slovenia will do as EU will decide.

https://www.logicno.com/politika/rusko-cjepivo-zabranjena-istina-koju-nitko-ne-zeli-objaviti.html
This is an article in a Croatian very non main stream media. Original was written by Kirill Dmitriev as a response to the rejection of news about a Russian vaccine by western media. It tells the history of Russian and Soviet vaccine research and successes and explains the mechanism of their adenoviral two vector-based vaccine. It is also an invitation for cooperation.
Original, I think, is on a Russian website dedicated to Covid-19 vaccine:
https://sputnikvaccine.com/newsroom/forbidden-op-ed-the-sputnik-vaccine-as-a-lifesaving-global-partnership-eng/
It is very interesting, I recommend everyone to read it. Just a short excerpt:
“Skepticism among international media and politicians has surfaced just as Russia announced its plans for mass COVID-19 vaccine production. When I spoke with Western media many refused to include key facts about the Russian COVID-19 vaccine research in their stories. We view this skepticism as an attempt to undermine our efforts to develop a working vaccine, which will stop the pandemic and help to re-open the global economy.
It is not the first time Russia has faced international mistrust over its leadership in science when politics stand in the way of scientific breakthroughs and put public health at risk. During the polio outbreak in Japan in the 1950s Japanese mothers whose children were dying from polio, went to demonstrate against their own government, which banned imports of Soviet polio vaccine for political reasons. The protesters achieved their goal and the ban was lifted saving the lives of more than 20 million Japanese children.”
I forgot to add that the biggest and most viewed TV and news station in Slovenia, which is foreign owned, has nothing about the Russian vaccine. Not even search site finds anything. Zero. At least national TV reported about it, even if critical.

Jusqu’à il y a environ 18 mois, le réseau français de CBC relayait assez facilement le point de vue occidental officiel jusqu’à la bêtise parfois. Il semble que les journalistes aient commencé à faire beaucoup plus attention, comprenant que leur crédibilité étaient en jeu…Ça a commencé avec la “réalité sur le terrain en Syrie et au Vénézuéla. en gros, plutôt que de mentir effrontément, on s’abstient. Un seul journaliste a tenu la barre solidement: Desautels avec son émission “Desautels le dimanche”, j’ai l’impression qu’il a dit à la direction quelque-chose comme “vous me laissez ma marge de travail professionnel ou bien j’irai faire autre chose”. De son côté, Jean-François Lépine, qui était le “grand reporter international” a pris sa retraite en 2013, à l’évidence il a refusé de joué le jeu des ZioMédias.

Until about 18 months ago, CBC’s French network pretty easily relayed the official western point of view up to stupidity at times. It seems that journalists began to pay much more attention, understanding that their credibility was at stake … it started with ” reality on the ground in Syria and Venezuela. basically, rather than lying brazenly, one abstains. Only one journalist held the bar firmly: Desautels with his show “Desautels on Sunday”, I have the impression that he told the management something like ” you leave me my professional margin of work or I’ll go do something else”. For his part, Jean-François Lépine, who was the “great international reporter” retired in 2013, obviously he refused to play the game of ZioMédias.

Hungarian conservative national daily Magyar Nemzet writes in a quite detailed article that Russia is the first to have developed a vaccine against COVID -19 in an international race much like the race for the Moon landing was half a century ago. Much of the world has received the news of the Russian breakthrough with skepticism, but according to Hungarian virologist Ferenc Jakab, the head of the Hungarian covid research action team says the vaccine may prove to be successful. It is hard to say for sure at this stage, as the vaccine has only been put through limited human testing, the customary phase 3 human mass testing has not yet taken place. Technical explanation is provided in the article for reasons for optimism about the vaccine. https://magyarnemzet.hu/kulfold/moszkva-vakcinaja-futott-be-elsokenta-8507538/
The Russia vaccine story was the opener in yesterday’s mainstream media main 20:00 evening news in Germany (Tagesschau). They were criticizing the vaccine as premature, developed in a rush, etc. They want to keep the Corona/Covid hoax going a little longer … maybe much longer. What a giant scam … sheeple infected by a psychovirus … contracted by mass media and government announcements.
Moon of Alabama has a good piece about this.

After slamming Western media outlets for dishonest BS on the Russian vaccine, it points out that:
‘Science Magazine is one of the few media who got it right:
In a startling and confusing move, Russia claimed today it had approved the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine, as the nation’s Ministry of Health issued what’s called a registration certificate for a vaccine candidate that has been tested in just 76 people. The certificate allows the vaccine, developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in Moscow, to be given to “a small number of citizens from vulnerable groups,” including medical staff and the elderly, a Ministry of Health spokesperson tells ScienceInsider. But the certificate stipulates that the vaccine cannot be used widely until 1 January 2021, presumably after larger clinical trials have been completed.
…
A website for Sputnik V says a phase III efficacy trial involving more than 2000 people will begin on 12 August in Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Mexico. Mass production of the vaccine is slated to begin in September.’
In Italy the news has been given, pointing out that there are not data about the results. Implying it is not trustable. And Putin gave it to his daughter.

Dr Michael Osterholm of CIDRAP in his live video podcast last night called it dangerous and crazy to release a vaccine without a full phase three approval.
Earlier this week he and the head of the Minneapolis Fed recommended a six week lockdown in order to do what many other countries have done to suppress the virus.
He is especially pessimistic about what will begin next month when schools and universities open and the seasonal flu season approaches.

https://www.proceso.com.mx/642668/putin-afirma-que-rusia-ya-tiene-vacuna-contra-el-covid-19-una-de-sus-hijas-fue-inoculada. In this very widspread newspaper from Mexico the tone although cautious was in general positive.
why is Putin and Russia focused on Covid vaccination?
Covid vaxx looks like a potentially disastrous and totally unnecessary response to a skamdemic as far as I can see
I can make no sense of the flow of the Russian story from the start of the Covid issue to this point. at the start Russia appeared to be in total control of its situation, absolutely on top and that Covid would be no issue to relative to Russia..just as the Chinese appeared to come to an understanding of what had happened in the rise of the Covid Story in Wuhan and had established total control of their own situation
then all of a sudden the Russian situation changed and the Russian situation came to what looked like the inept American response… cases everywhere and reports of futility and inundation consistent with the US situation..along with talk of vaccine. and here we are with a Russian vaccine that appears as ridiculously unproven as american efforts and potential just as dangerous to human health as anything coming out of the Zionist Pharma stables led by the human monster Bill Gates
and totally back by the Russian President who gives the impression that he has been trotted to the front, up on the stage by powers behind him to use his credibility in the world..a rapidly diminishing credibility in my eyes..to back a rushed and totally unproven vaccine..t be used on the actual bodies of humans in which their very lives are housed
incredible! I thought I could look to Russia as a positive Zionist-free, Pharma-free monopolized medical activity on the bodies of humans! certainly not by the sudden early Russian turn in their Covid response from control and confidence to, uncertainty and indecisive, people dangerous medical response
by that Russian turn I am anticipating the incorporation of the Russian military in their Vaxx effort..making the vaccine mandatory, using their military as enforces..just like it is planned in the west
This Russian response I did not expect at all. I looked to Russia for response more like Scandinavia, using methods that in no way risked compromise the human body at what may be high profit for financial investors, containing massive risk of unproven vaxx.
I see nothing here that is worthy of any response but intense, comprehensive and continually watchful critique of Putin and the Russian medical establishment relative to their total Covid response in fact… and particularly with this iffy vaccine
Russia appeared to be going well at the start but it appears like someone behind the scene got to the Russian government and changed their approach from people centered to Big Pharma centered.
It’s not unproven, it’s being tested and is working………………blow it out of proportion, big pharma, really, that the Russians care about thier people more than Goldman Sachs care for thiers betrays your lean.
Read what Larry Romanof wrote regarding second bio attack on China and Russia, and I’d go as far as to say also Iran.
I checked the major outlets, CNN, FOX, ect and they’re all reporting it, condecendingly. IMO the NEOCONs have lost the thread. 2 decades ago brand identification would have been enough for MSM to denegate anything Russian. Brand ID reflects civ credibility. And US brand ID is gone. Their foods are contaminated with GMOs. Their tech all is designed to spy on them. Their concept of planned obcelence made Ford rich but lost the US it’s car industry. The deepstate is not going to be able to reverse the trend at this juncture.
Canada’s Postmedia Corp ran the story today, benign to say the least, comming from one of the world’s greatest haters of all things ‘eastern’, the Two Michaels being held for over 600 days by those nasty Chinese….sorry, digression.
The story, paraphrased;
Russia after ‘two’ months of testing have granted regulatory approval, even though final trials have not been completed. Pres Putin’s daughter was a test volunteer, she feels fine. “I know it works quite effectivly, forms strong immunity and, I repeat, it has passed all nessessary checks,” said Mr Putin……………the vaccine will be administered to medical personel, then to teachers, on a ‘voluntary’ basis at the end of this month or early Sept. Mass roll outs for October, the vaccine is administered in two doses.
I’m sure the story will twist and bend in the wind, likely wont blow away though, and if Yanks are buying Russain rockets, Russian fuel, Russian grain, hey, who cares if the US slips in a few million vaccine doses made in ‘mother russia’ said with think accent.
Hello Saker, It’s Producer CJ from Rogue News and The Gadfly Multi-Channel Network. Here is an article linking to several articles in regards to the US media reporting of the vaccine. I have not read through all of them however thought this would help. Would love to have you join for an interview when time permits. Thank you

The American and Western Free Press are doing what they do best: pushing smear campaigns and disinformation against “enemy” nations disguised as Fair and Balanced news.
This Free Press will take a half-truth and turn into a Big Lie, all the while that it self-righteously pimps itself as a a “Watchdog of Democracy” and Fourth Estate.
In this particular case, the Free Press is deliberately peddling the deception that Russia is skipping the 3rd Phase trial of its vaccine or that it has even officially approved a vaccine to begin with.
As Moon of Alabama states:
“Russia has not approved a vaccine against Covid-19 and it is not skipping large-scale clinical trials.
The Russia regulator gave a preliminary approval for a vaccine candidate to start the large-scale clinical trial. This is similar to an emergency use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
[…]
The Russian vaccine candidate will, like all others, have to go through the now announced third trial phase before it will get any general approval.
There is no excuse for the media to wrongly claim that Russia has approved a ready to go vaccine. The Sputnik Vaccine website explains in seven languages that the third trial phase of the clinical trials is still to come.””
‘Western’ Media Falsely Claim That Russia’s Covid-19 Vaccine Is Ready To Go
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2020/08/western-media-falsely-claim-that-russias-covid-19-vaccine-is-ready-to-go.html#more
I already posted a link to a popular German news site n-tv with the news about the vaccine (actually, it was one of the most read articles on the site), this afternoon the site even published an article with Russian viewpoints on the sceptic reactions in the West: https://www.n-tv.de/panorama/Russland-kontert-Impfstoff-Kritik-article21967913.html
At least the decency is showed to let the Russians themselves share their views and opinions.
Just imagine when it actually will work, and other nations will be interested…
Then the whole nice Gates plan of worldwide vaccination and chipping starts to crumble…

Dear Forum,
it appears to me like the Ritual like judging every time russia is endevaouring a new prospect.
One explanation for the criticsm may be the Non-traditional approach to develop and test crucial and life dependent molecules/bioproducts.In that regard may i reiterate all the late achievements the western world produced with the likes of MonsantoBayer and all the shortcomings that have been more or less dissappeared as quick as they arose in public attention. Not too mention Dieselgate and so on and forth.
I Think it is crucially underestimated what russian academy of science did in several realms of life & bioscience which i am admittently not an expert of, albeit in Sports i am and i can tell that they were ahead and if you refer and study the right scientist they presumably still are.
What i am fond of is there general holistic approach what is contrarily underestimated generally.
They always build solid mathematical models where the Integral and determining variables are tested in simulations and then they approach clinical testing. This is general best Practice is and not always the standard in western science Practice. Maybe this is an explanation why they have been doubted so much.
Regardless of all the upstir, i am happy there is hope and normally my approach would be to reach out to Them and ask for Information, and if the barrier is the language that may be overcome too! But there appears to be more interest in mischief and false concurrent thinking.
Best,E
Perhaps some of the doubt and suspicion levied against Putin and the Russian scientific medical experts stems from the known effects regarding vaccines generally by enlightened doctors and complementary therapists, and on the other hand, with soviet era of psychiatric hospital use of “corrective” drug experimentation with normal patients.
Also reported by a friend of mine who visited Russian centers and hospitals for disabled people, that these were considerably behind contemporary models of treatment,. He was invited however, and there is no doubt that measures have been taken to radically improve an apparently dire and outdated system.
I agree there is hope, my first reaction to the vaccine news from Russia was very biased. The world of therapy, medicine and healing s hugely controversial, it is hard not to react and trace the signature of Gates on any mention of Covid-19 and the vaccine. They are not a cure, ever
And now we have the usual AngloSaxon response when in a ditch caused by their own incompetence – lie and generate fear.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8618707/Vladimir-Putins-coronavirus-vaccine-approved-tests-38-people.html
I have seen NO reports of these so-called “side effects”, and of course nothing about the % of recipients, etc etc.
Just more random fear.

I’ve searched for the story in Scottish newspapers ( I don’t normally read them ) and found very little reference to the Russian vaccine while I did find many hopeful vaccine stories e.g. the UK government signing deals for vaccines, massive funding etc.
What I did find on Russia was very disparaging, “..mounting international concerns over safety.. ” , “.. Russia underreported scale of infection.. “, “..other countries open with information, …but…Russia not sharing..”.
Of course the BBC ( I can’t face watching it but checked latest headlines ) ” .. Russia claims ..”, ” ..Russian. ” breakthrough “.. “.
It is very typical for anything Russia says to be described as a claim or for words to be in inverted commas to indicate falsehood.
All in all, exactly as expected.

Here is the Yahoo headline
“VOTE: Would you take a vaccine developed outside Canada? Russia claims to have a vaccine for Covid-19, but Canadian officials have yet to see the evidence.”
My take One: The best way to deal with idiots is to ignore them. I simply don’t understand why Russia and Russians have this complex about getting recognition from the West. In my view, Russia should BAN export of the vaccine to the west. It should only be supplied to China, a few other relatively neutral Asian and Latin American countries, and free of cost to the poor African countries.
My take Two: I don’t know if it is scientifically possible, but Russia should lock the molecular structure of the vaccine so as defeat western attempts at reverse engineering. They will steal it and claim the credit and the profit for themselves. Russian scientists must be prohibited from disclosing its secrets in scientific papers.
My take three: Since the WHO is anti-Russia as well, why does Russia not leave this monkey circus?

“Can you trust a Russian vaccine more than you can trust a Russian election result”
German Mainstream Press linked through t-online.de,
the article is sceptical. Basically ascribing 3 motives for Putin to push this so quickly:
1. Putin wants to improve his international image as a leader,
2. His attempt to get a real handle on an all the problems caused by the virus (because he dragged his feet and played it down in the beginning).
3. Trying to position Russia as an important player in the medical industry.
The motives come at the end of an article trashing Russia, playing up the risks of such a vaccine, the intransparency, the lack of clinical testing for efficacy and side effects on thousands of test subjects (everything they should be accusing the western vaccine developers of).
Little chance of being approved for use in the EU because of all the long and detailed hoops that must be jumped through for safety reasons (although the western companies have far less hoops it seems).
https://www.watson.de/international/deine%20fragen%20-%20unsere%20antworten/480631123-corona-impfstoff-was-putin-mit-seinem-vorstoss-bezweckt
THe general tone of the article is, as usual here, “anything coming out of Russia is unsafe, treacherous, and just plain bad…”.
Sigh…
This op/ed in **yesterday’s*8 RT anticipated the exact BigLie Media behavior b at Moon of Alabama documented, “As Russia announces coronavirus vaccine, mainstream media suddenly discovers the meaning of skepticism.” The writer’s timing was brilliant; but then, the attack was totally predictable. I suggest Saker and his readers digest the contents of this Putin videoconference transcript from 29 July where he reviews the overall state of Russia’s Healthcare System and towards its end mentions the vaccine and how it will be introduced.
In our local newspaper, Russia’s announcement was buried in the back pages whereas if it was the Outlaw US Empire, it would’ve been an above the fold headline most assuredly. Also, due note must be made of China’s recent announcement late last week of its opening of a production facility in Beijing capable of producing 200 Million vaccine doses annually, with further facilities being constructed. IMO, we just witnessed the Russia-China Strategic Partnership acting in unison on a vital matter of global importance.
If you take into account the speculation of a ‘second bio attack’, Russia and China likely moved mountains to get a leg up on any major mass bio attack, should such happen. If the vaccine works, Russia and China bought the world some time as Dr Fauxinstien and his lab rat Gates will have to back to the drawing board.
“Director of the research council of Norway, John-Arne Røttingen, says he will be surprised if the vaccine will be approved as quickly.
– What we see in Norway now is that with the fastest pace our so you can land on a result about a year. I will be surprised if this vaccine from the Russian federation is approved by legemiddelverk in a short period of time.
Nevertheless, do not Røttingen hide that it could be possible. Røttingen head of the global styringsgruppa of Who’s major study of the treatment.- If one can put up good and robust data so it’s possible, but it must be tested to see if it actually is a protection. There are several phases to through.
– Questionable
He gets the support of the consultant in the FHI, Preben Aavitsland.
– I don’t think before I see it. We must of course see what data or research that lies behind the vaccine, but I am doubting that it is effective, says Aavitsland to the Newspaper. ” (machine translation from Dagbladet)

I would say the scientists were somewhat neutral with the writers pushing cnn/american narrative.
But we are a vassal nation after all so there was no “celebrations and good luck” wishes to the Russian scientists/pharma industry.
Does anyone recall history of polio vaccine?
Let’s learn from history before making epic statements here.
Only saying lol
Aqui no Brasil a mídia só fala menosprezando e dizendo que não é reconhecida pela OMS, e que foi feita pulando etapas da pesquisa e que estão escondendo os resultados portanto não é confiável, mas para mim o que não é confiável é a mídia.

“Here in Brazil the media only talk down and saying that it is not recognized by WHO, and that it was done skipping research steps and that they are hiding the results so it is not reliable, but for me what is not reliable is the media.”
German newspapers usually simply print DPA clips on international affairs, in this case stating how irresponsible Putin is acting, insinuating that this is a clearance for broad use among the population. The bad, bad tyrant using his people as guinea pigs…
Example from one of the better German regional newspapers, Nürnberger Nachrichten (12.8.2020, p1 and 2):

As usual, DPA disseminates NATO and mainstream propaganda, and the local editors do not bother about any even rudimentary crosschecking. Cheaper than real journalistic practice, but in the long run, very expensive damage for the newspaper’s reputation.

Hi Saker,
As discussed. Enjoy!
https://www.worldhealth.net/news/why-everyone-was-wrong/
I looked up some Norwegian sites ( I used to live there ). All I found was the following small reference :
10:53 Israel vil teste Russlands vaksine Israel skal teste Russlands koronavaksine og gå inn i forhandlinger om å kjøpe den, dersom de anser den som et «seriøst produkt». Det sier landets helseminister. Russerne har avvist anklager fra blant annet Tyskland om at vaksinen er utrygg.
I can translate ;
Israel will test Russia’s corona vaccine and enter into negotiations to buy it if they regard it as a ” serious product “. So says the country’s health minister. The Russians have rejected accusations from, among others Germany that the vaccine is unsafe.
Found this report on NRK, Norway’s national broadcaster.
https://www.nrk.no/urix/putin_-russiske-myndigheter-har-godkjent-koronavaksine-1.15118535
It’s a bit long for me to translate, but it seems to be a fair report on what the Russians have announced.
It includes quite positive comments from a vaccine researcher from Oslo University, Grunnveig Grodeland, saying she considers the Russian announcement to mean they are still in phase 3 of development. She also states, “..there is no reason not to use a vaccine still undergoing testing during an ongoing pandemic – and it can be a good idea to do so.. ”
I found a few other reports. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of reporting on this, but what there is seems to be fair.

Scroll down to “Sputnik V vaccine”
This is the blog of an American doctor practicing in Rome.
I am not that pleased with her caption re Putin’s daughters.
Not sure I am on board with all of her Covid-19 info and analysis, but it is a useful compendium.

Here’s one (paywalled, unfortunately) from the Australian Financial Review, the banking establishment’s rag Down Under:
https://www.afr.com/world/asia/trial-fears-as-russia-china-edge-ahead-in-vaccine-race-20200812-p55kwv
The article conforms to the usual style of insinuations, innuendo and general cynicism to be expected regarding all things Russia, with no facts cited to back them up. E.g., “In Canberra, Deputy Commonwealth Chief Medical Officer Nick Coatsworth struck a note of caution around the Russian vaccine, saying clinical trial data needed to be open for scrutiny, as did the regulation around safety and efficacy. ‘We know very little apart from the media reports, of course,’ he said. ‘The more information we get about any vaccine produced by any country the better.’
“While the urgent need to beat a global pandemic has sped up the development cycle for the 150-plus vaccine candidates, only Russia has chosen to bypass publishing data from the large-scale human trials involving tens of thousands of people that’s demanded by most regulators.”
I wonder if it has occurred to them just to ask Russia for the data? Probably not; and since Canberra put various useless symbolic sanctions on Russia for made-up nonsense reasons (Crimea, MH17) straight after the Yankees did, I’m fairly sure they’d have forbidden themselves access to Russia’s vaccine; so of course they would have to dismiss it as “sour grapes”. God forbid they should ever have to admit their error and apologise! As you have no doubt observed, my country is run by a sad crop of petty fools.
@Ed Walsh: “Understanding that vaccines are likely fraudulent, you might ask why would Russia get involved in manufacturing vaccines? It’s simple really. To prevent the substance that will be injected into the Russian population being manufactured by groups hostile to Russia, it was necessary to manufacture the vaccines themselves.
Elegant solution!”.
This remark has changed my thinking. Contrary to my initial fears, Putin has not fallen into a trap; quite the opposite, he has executed a master stroke of political jujitsu, and simultaneously restored belief that he works for the good of Russia.
Already, under Putin, Russia has become the world’s largest exporter of non-GM food produce. And now Putin has set Russia on course to manufacture a safe vaccine against the world’s greatest panic, the imaginary Con-19 killer virus.
A reader has already mentioned something which the rest of us commentators BTL overlooked: the Russian vaccine is based on proven WHO technology (adenovirus); the method used to manufacture the world’s annual “flu shots” that the WHO has been recommending for years. I am a great believer in conservative technology that has been around long enough to have been tested by experience.
Once the Russian adenovaccine is on the market, it will no longer matter whether one believes that Con-19 is a hoax (as I do) or whether one believes that Covid-19 is an “existential threat” to humankind: the vaccine will be there for all who want it. Lockdown can be lifted with honour to both sides.
I only hope Russia does not follow the authoritarian West in making vaccine compulsory. My respect to Putin’s daughter for her courage as volunteer; and I hope this is a sign that her father will allow the Russian people free choice whether they want to be vaccinated or not.
I don’t pay much attention to the TV, but in Japan, I’ve seen the news about the new vaccine on early morning Vesti news segment that NHK airs. My husband says the BBC and CNN segments were highly dismissive of it, the government-run NHK is taking a neutral stance, but the privately owned broadcasting companies are all under the influence of the CIA and so echo the BBC and CNN sneerfully.
My husband’s view on this is that he finds it quite plausible that Russia has successfully developed a vaccine for corona virus. They’ve been under the threat of bio-warfare for quite a while, with rumors emerging now and then of attempts to analyze Russia’s genetic makeup, and they had to be aware of the kind of research being carried out on corona virus and to have been developing a strategy to counter it. My husband heard the vaccine had been six years in development.
My own impression of the timing of this is, doesn’t this put a lovely fat fly in the ointment of the pharmaceutical profiteers.
Sugoi! If that state-sponsored NHK were covering this neutrally weren’t surprising enough (I kinda expected them to kowtow to the USian narrative, what with Western influence), what’s even more surprising is that NHK has segments for Russian Vesti alongside other news outlets like BBC and CNN.
I could be wrong, but in light of everything else the commentators here have shared, I’m starting to think the difference could be an Eastern thing. (In this light, would you consider Japan to be Western or Eastern?)
It was announced on SABS (South African Broadcasting Corporation) radio yesterday and we were also informed that it was safe as Mr Putin’s daughter had taken it.

‘Western’ Media Falsely Claim That Russia’s Covid-19 Vaccine Is Ready To Go:
Russia has not approved a vaccine against Covid-19 and it is not skipping large-scale clinical trials.
The Russia regulator gave a preliminary approval for a vaccine candidate to start the large-scale clinical trial. This is similar to an emergency use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Oh, right. You were talking about Western media. I was still curious to see what the mainland Chinese press is saying. One of the first results I came across is this: https://news.sina.com.cn/w/2020-08-01/doc-iivhuipn6289980.shtml
It’s a dispassionate account of what has been achieved, with a timeline and testimonies from Russian experts.
Dear Saker
Here my token from Germany’s MSM

German biotech company CureVac BV, one of the players aiming to develop a vaccine against the Covid-19 virus, will start trading today at Nasdaq (symbol CVAC). This was broadcast this morning on Deutschland Radio. NYT also published a Reuters news today, https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/08/14/business/14reuters-curevac-ipo.html?searchResultPosition=7. This highlights yet another point, next to Russia bashing: there is a sharp competition going on as to who is going to be the first to have a vaccine ready for the global market.
Tübingen based CureVac’s main investor is SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp. According to Reuters, the company receives also support from Bill Gates. The company enjoys direct protection from the German government. A few weeks ago, the government acquired a direct 23% share of CureVac. This unusual move came in response to alleged bids of large amounts of money („roughly 1 billion“, Welt am Sonntag) by the Trump administration to take over the company and sell the prospective vaccine exclusively in the United States.
Why was this IPO made at Wall Street and not at the Deutsche Börse in Frankfurt? According to analyst Daniel Saurens of Feingold Research, Nasdaq is much sexier…

Mr Saker,
I think that here is a partial answer to your request from none other than Alexander Chuchalin:
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/russias-top-doc-quits-over-gross-ethics-violations-duterte-says-hell-be-guinea-pig-putins
Saker, the SpV vaccine that a Russian company created uses the platform developed for a successful Ebola virus vaccine. It uses the ad4 and ad5 vectors to attack the Coronavirus gp120 spike protein patented by Fauci.
https://c-vine.com/blog/2020/05/07/follow-the-money-fauci-holds-4-covid-19-related-patents/
Sp5 also leverages one of the same vectors of the J&J virus. The money grubbing monkeys in the western orbit were all sneers about Sp5 and Russia, the Rodney Dangerfield of nations that never gets any respect.
The cool thing is that because it builds immunity to the Fauci protein gp120, that vector will then be foreclosed as a platform for any future “part 2” involving any gain of function pathogen project in Simon bar Sinister’s Wuhan labs.
I would take the Russian vaccine (directly sourced) but would never give a dime to the voracious, fascist, western medical mafia.
here’s one from the ABC (Australia – equivalent to BBC). Always lead with denigration of Russia. They were a bit more positive with news of a COVID-19 Vaccine out of China in another article which has since disappeared.

‘Western’ Media Falsely Claim That Russia’s Covid-19 Vaccine Is Ready To Go / Moon Of Alabama

This is an excerpt from the “Highwire with Del Bigtree,” an internet show (recently banned from Youtube, still on Fakebook). They focus initially on a Daily Mail article about Russia’s chief scientist resigning from an ethics body. However, the discussion then focuses on the science behind the Sputnik vaccine and the dangers of attempting a vaccine for this type of disease (hyper sensitivity, not immunity). This is a topic covered in other shows. Also the small number of people involved in the trials. They are complimentary about Russian scientist raising objections, as opposed to western ones.
