The use of vaccines is a matter of national security

Thousands of people are dying from Covid-19. The economy is slipping. How much more will die of starvation ... But a handful of scientists are fiddling, and looking for more subtle side effects from the vaccines they are developing. On top of it trying to teach the Russians that they untimely registered and use their vaccine against Covid-19, and the Chinese, who used a vaccine similar to the Russian one to immunize part of the Chinese army. This is an apology for doing long clinical trial of vaccine when many thousands are dying from the coronavirus in short time. Since when do scientists start instructing the authorities on how to deal with national security issues? Don’t you find those scientists pathetic? After all, thorough clinical trials in search of more subtle side effects of a vaccine are costly, and those scientists make good money from that. And what about people dying without that vaccine now? Not important because they are not scientists?

 "The Russian vaccine, along with many others under development in a number of countries in the effort to alleviate a worldwide health crisis that has killed at least 734,900 people, sped through early monkey and human trials with apparent success.

But the Russian scientific body that developed the vaccine, the Gamaleya Institute, has yet to conduct Phase III tests on tens of thousands of volunteers in highly controlled trials, a process seen as the only method of ensuring a vaccine is actually safe and effective. Around the world, more than 30 vaccines out of a total of more than 165 under development are now in various stages of human trials.

Vaccines generally go through three stages of human testing before being approved much larger group of people, a Phase III trial can pick up more subtle side effects of a vaccine that earlier trials could not.

The Food and Drug Administration in the United States has said that a new coronavirus vaccine would need to be 50 percent more effective than a placebo in order to be approved.

Russia’s minister of health, Mikhail Murashko, has said the country will begin a mass vaccination campaign in the fall, and said on Tuesday that it would start with teachers and medical workers this month."

Horror. Imagine how much nerve it will cost scientists if a Russian vaccine against Covid-19 saves a lot of lives.
