Strategic Culture Foundation: EU’s Own Goal by Playing Politics With Russian Vaccine
The European public can see more clearly than ever that their unelected highly paid bureaucrats are risking pandemic recovery by playing politics with Russia’s vaccine.
Italy is to be the first European Union state to produce the Russian Sputnik V vaccine for immunization against the new coronavirus. It was confirmed this week by the Russian-Italian Chamber of Commerce.
The Russian developer of the vaccine says there are other deals underway with Spain, France and Germany to manufacture the Sputnik V shot locally. This follows several EU and non-EU members already approving use of the Russian vaccine, including Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, as well as Serbia, Moldova and Montenegro.
Polls are showing the majority of European public want a bigger uptake of Sputnik V in addition to other approved vaccines. This reflects widespread frustration with the slow rollout of immunization by the EU authorities due to supply problems with Western manufactured jabs.

WNU Editor: Some EU countries who are facing vaccine shortages are saying "enough is enough" .... Countries split from EU on COVID-19 vaccines (Lancent). More here .... Russia's Sputnik V Covid vaccine gaining acceptance in Europe (The Guardian).
The EU is not the only place "playing" politics on vaccines. I live in Canada, and I still do not understand why Russia's Sputnik vaccine has not been looked at. This vaccine has a 92% efficacy rate (according to Lancent).
And then there is this insane policy from the Ukraine government .... No Sputnik Shot For Ukraine As Kyiv Bans Registration Of COVID Vaccines From 'Aggressor States' (RFE).
Update: Are Russians avoiding the Sputnik vaccine? I inquired when I read this .... Why many in Russia are reluctant to have Sputnik vaccine (BBC). All my friends and family in Russia disagree. They have and/or will be taking their shots, and everyone they know will also be taking the vaccine.

Technically the Ukraine and Russia are at war but its "insane" for the Ukraine to not take a vaccine from an enemy? Bizarre WNU
The US has millions of does of AZ vaccine but won't approve it. I was supposed to be part of the clinical trials but nope gone.
The Sputnik vaccine is good. Granted Lancet is political and no linger above reproach. Still I assume the Sputnik vaccine is good. What about the does Russia ends to Ukraine? If Russia had not instigated Donbass and Crimea, Ukraine would have gladly bought or accepted Russian vaccine.
America goes stupid every other election and voted for a Democrats president or a stuffed dummy (Biden), Russia getting Donbass is almost a foregone conclusion., It might take awhile.
People do all sorts of wargaming (modeling), bank stress testing (modeling), climate modeling or modeling in general.
Why not wargame Ben Franklin's adage of "Doing well by doing good"? Russia might have gotten more than Donbass. Too late now.

"Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go."
Biden won. Trump lost. period Why?
That's easy, by lying and cheating, I'm surprised ( not really by you) you haven't figured that out.
