One Big Thing:
Would you get the Russian coronavirus vaccine?
Join us and take our poll
What is it?
a.. Earlier this week, Russia approved a
coronavirus vaccine to be used on tens of thousands of people. The
scientific community has unanimously criticized the vaccine because it was
not thoroughly tested for effectiveness or potential side effects.
b.. Russian President Vladimir Putin has
come out in strong support of the vaccine and stated that one of his
daughters was already inoculated. Conversely, Philippines President Rodrigo
Duterte walked back his offer to test the vaccine until it underwent further
testing.
Why is it important?
a.. The shrouded release of Sputnik V amid
the uncertainty about its effectiveness and safety epitomizes Russia lack of
transparency in its domestic and foreign policy. The Russian government
always prioritizes its own agenda ahead of the wellbeing and safety of its
own citizens.
b.. Because Sputnik V has not been
rigorously tested, it could be a dud and has potential to carry negative
side effects for those who are inoculated. Without further testing, there is
no way of knowing whether the vaccine will be helpful or destructive.
What can you do?
a.. Learn more about the rigorous drug
testing standards here in the United States
b.. Follow where the U.S. vaccine is on the
New York Times’ Coronavirus Vaccine Tracker
