The nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases has his doubts about Russia’s coronavirus vaccine claims.
Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that Russia’s rushed process to reach a vaccine likely did not result in a safe or effective remedy against the illness, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people since the pandemic began.
Fauci said during a Tuesday interview with National Geographic that he hopes Russia has “actually, definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective. I seriously doubt that they've done that.” He added that the United States has been putting its efforts toward “half a dozen or more vaccines.”
“So, if we wanted to take the chance of hurting a lot of people or giving them something that doesn't work, we could start doing this, you know, next week if we wanted to. But that's not the way it works,” said Fauci, who is part of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the “world’s first” coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday. He said that his own daughter had received the inoculation, although his announcement was met with doubt given the speed at which it was produced.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte generated headlines on Wednesday when he said he is ready to be “experimented on” and would take the vaccine himself. Duterte also said his country would participate in clinical trials for the experimental drug.

This is a tough one, but at this point in life, I have more faith in Russia than I do in a democrat hack like Fauci!
Conflict of interests.
Fauci “I should know, I funded the gain of function!”
Fauci is a mass murderer.
He did.
Duterte also appealed to China for their vaccine.
He’s in a tough position.
Fauci has millions of (dollars of) financial reasons to disparage the Russian vaccine...
Falsie Fauci doesn’t like it because he isn’t being paid off by the Russians like he is by MODeRNA and Gilead.
I don’t think anyone is going to be successful in producing an effective vaccine. I see unforeseen side effects coming from this rush to make a vaccine without thorough timely testing. Also by the time a vaccine is thoroughly found to be safe the Coronavirus will mutate thereby making the vaccine ineffective. The Coronaviruses are just that much of a challenge.
