MOSCOW (AP) Russia on Tuesday became the first country to officially register a coronavirus vaccine and declare it ready for use, despite international skepticism. President Vladimir Putin said that one of his daughters has already been inoculated.
Putin emphasized that the vaccine underwent the necessary tests and has proven efficient, offering a lasting immunity from the coronavirus. However, scientists at home and abroad have been sounding the alarm that the rush to start using the vaccine before Phase 3 trials which normally last for months and involve thousands of people could backfire.
Speaking at a government meeting Tuesday, Putin said that the vaccine has undergone proper testing and is safe.
I would like to repeat that it has passed all the necessary tests, he said. The most important thing is to ensure full safety of using the vaccine and its efficiency.

Trump will push it. Wait and see.

(33,643 posts)negative criticism ... "Trump pushes Putin vaccine" I don't think is something his people will calculate as being a good look.
Also, it doesn't make him look victorious if Russia beat the USA to getting a safe vaccine.
Much as he loves Russia and Putin ... he loves Trump more.
