As news emerges of a possible vaccine from Russia the world holds its breath at the possibility of a potential global solution.
Unsurprisingly there has been high levels of scepticism and speculation surrounding the viability and more importantly the safety of the vaccine. To say the country has a shady history in regards to medical practice and ethics may be some what of an understatement (anyone seen Icarus on Netflix?).
Putin has came out and said that he had the vaccine administered to his own daughter, a bold statement indeed given the risks involved. One can’t help but think it seems like a rubber stamp PR job to get other nations onside. Jury’s Out.
Many nations will probably keep their powder dry until more is known of the level of testing that was done in Russian Labs, rightfully so.
