Will the Russian COVID-19 vaccine work? | Inside Story

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there's been a global race to find a vaccine.
But scientists are worried some countries may be rushing the process and compromising safety.
Earlier this week, Russian president Vladimir Putin said his country has approved the world's first coronavirus vaccine.
But Scientists in Russia and abroad are sceptical about its effectiveness.
They say offering it to the public before the important final stage of testing, could pose serious problems.
So, were Russian scientists pressured to cut corners?
And is there significance to the timing of the announcement?

Number of specialists here is impresive! Thank you to all doctors that comment !

What's the fuss about?! The Russians have volunteered to test it in such a grand scale, if anything we should be grateful. If it works, everyone benefits.

[mr.arcadiomalmisph.d]

Let's congrats Russia and let them prove the effectiveness and safety by making Russia zero covid cases by October 2020

I trust putin over any of these other clowns from the WHO and Fauci.

[michaelthong]

If you have doubts, then don’t use it. Fair.

[vinodhmadhushan]

I’m no medical expert.. however as a citizen of this earth ... this news gave me a new hope ... and I’m sure Russians will not take any chance with their millions of lives

[Original_fat_cat]

Will the USA Vaccine work....
Many countries will also be sceptical....

[Tam]

I'll take a vaccine but not this one...not enough testing...

[frombronzesquadtoshakirasq]

I AM A RUSSIAN HATER and Anti Vaccine BUT..give credit where it is due, This does look like the best Vaccine available at the moment. They already had another vaccine and added a simple edition. Maybe that was all it would have taken to beat Coronavirus from beginning instead of putting fear into people and telling them it will take 20 years. Russian Bravery wins once again. I hope it helps alot of people

[Nizwiz]

Ok your'e skeptical. So why not obtain it and test it yourselves?

[auschaliks]

Because is Russia EU and AMERICA Complains lost opportunity

to all. I hope luck is with your loved ones, pets, families, friends, and so on. If you've lost a loved one. Don't give up, grief if you must but don't give up. Because when other diseases happened the people didn't give up. Continue for the fallen doctors, for the people who've risked their lives for the good of others.

Everything will be new, you have to accept that. But in the end, everything will be worth it.

Please, follow the rules. Wear a mask, distance. Wash your hands. Protect yourself for the sake of your family and others. We all want to stop this virus. But not until people follow the instructions.


I've heard enough ambulances pass through my apartment, I've lost a close one already and I don't want to lose more.

Please, for the sake of this word. Follow the rules and keep yourself safe.


Good luck.
