Video showing Vladimir Putin coughing during a meeting with Kremlin ministers has emerged a day after the incident forced him to deny he has Covid-19.

Further fueling speculation, the Russian leader has today pulled out of a G20 conference on Afghanistan.

I didnt read the whole article when I posted it but here is what I suspect.

Putin used his annual televised phone-in this June to cast Russia’s four vaccines as highly effective and safe, while taking a swipe at shots that are widely used in the West”

I think the writer meant “dairy”; maybe an allergic reaction?

Funny how the media never mentioned "health fears" when Shrillary was having frequent coughing fits during the '16 Presidential campaign.

Most people should be glad to just get it over with. Then the fear is over, and you have much better “immunity”.

WTH is a “diary clash”?

His diary conflicted with someone else’s diary?
