Germany: Russian Vaccine Has Not Been Tested Adequately

German Health Minister Jens Spahn said today, Wednesday, that the Russian vaccine for Covid-19 disease has not been adequately tested, adding that the goal is to create a safe product and not just for a country to be the first to provide a vaccine for people.

President Vladimir Putin announced on Tuesday that Russia has become the first country to grant regulatory approval for a vaccine for Covid-19, less than two months after testing it in humans.

And some experts expressed concern about Moscow’s decision to grant approval for the vaccine before completing the final trials.

“It could be dangerous to start administering the vaccine to millions, if not billions of people, too early, because this could completely eliminate acceptance of the idea of ​​a vaccine if things don’t go well, so I’m very skeptical about what happens,” Spahn told Deutschland Funk. In Russia”.

He added, “I am pleased that there is a good initial vaccine but based on all we know, and this is the main problem because the Russians do not tell us much because this (vaccine) has not been tested adequately.”
