Original title: Putin was promised: “The vaccine will be ready by September this year.”
The portal Tocka.com.mk published an article in which it is written that the Russian Scientific Research Center is close to completing the examination of the vaccine against coronavirus. The information says that the vaccine will be tested on 300 volunteers during next month, June 2020.
The link from the original article can be found here.
There is still no vaccine against coronavirus. The most credible source for this is the World Health Organization, which coordinates all countries that are in the “race” to find the vaccine. At the moment, more than 120 countries are conducting laboratory research on a possible combination of drugs that will be used to treat coronavirus patients. And only 8 vaccines have so far reached the trial stage, all others are in the pre-clinical phase.
Vaccines that are in the clinical evaluation phase, a total of 5, are mainly from China, the United States, and Great Britain, and there is no Russian vaccine anywhere.
In addition, here’s a practical explanation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about what the clinical testing looks like, which includes testing the vaccine in volunteers, as a penultimate stage before the vaccine is released. As the vaccine proves effective, so does the number of people being tested and treated.
The F2N2 team has already written several times about the glorification of the Russian medicine by the Macedonian portals, which mainly take this news from the Serbian nationalist portals, and the purpose of this narrative is to glorify Vladimir Putin and Russia. The F2N2 team has previously written that the Russian drug Arbidol is not a cure for Coronavirus, that helium and oxygen combined are also not a Russian discovery but an “old medical craft”, and that there is still no cure for coronavirus, not even in Russia.
Follow only the media of which you are sure that publish news for informational purposes and not propaganda purposes. And, there is no harm in repeating – check, check, check before sharing.
The F2N2 team evaluates this post as a classic example of Russian propaganda.
