KEY POINTS

• A group of scientists have questioned the reliability of the results of early-stage clinical trials of Russia’s coronavirus vaccine.

• The results were published in The Lancet last Friday.

• In an open letter to the editor of the medical journal, 27 scientists said the data published was incomplete and had shown some “unlikely patterns.”

1. Hardly Shocking

And Lancet's explanation for publishing the report, while acknowledging incomplete data, is shabby!

3. What is shocking is that Russia wants to vaccinate their population with this vaccine,

without it undergoing phase 3 clinical trials.
All they had is phase I and II. So at this point its completely unclear if this vaccine actually works.

4. And There's Questionable Data From That

But, I actually don't find their desire to vaccinate shocking.
More, something I'd totally expect!

5. Why should Putin be concerned about what happens to his lab rats ?

If thousands die, just bury them out of sight and jail anyone who asks questions. It's how he has dealt with everything else.

6. or throw them out a window

7. I dunno, but Russia really wants to increase its population.

Vaccinating them with an un-proven vaccine is probably not a good way to do that.

2. but why wouldputin/russia not be forthcoming? Trump trust the guy 1000%
