This was my main argument to support my never taking part in this vaccine program. It's a subtle point you need to look at very logically to grasp. If this vaccine program was designed to save lives, why should issues around the country of origen, or economic block matter? China, Russia, India. Much as I would refuse the Sputnik vaccine same as all the rest, it appears thus far to have yielded less side effects than AstraZeneca. The latter has left several people I know unwell for weeks, and many more clotting victims that may have been hushed. Yet, the EU is demanding "select" vaccines for use essentially as a "passport". I quote: "The European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is the agency of the European Union responsible for the evaluation and supervision of medicinal products, has approved only four Coronavirus vaccines so far, which are: Comirnaty (BioNTech, Pfizer) COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna Vaxzevria (previously COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca) COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)" Two points: Many Russians I talked to rejected Sputnik because they tell me they consider any rushed vaccine too risky. I respond basically I would not want any rushed vaccine wherever it was produced. The bottom line is they were all rushed, at great risk to ourselves, because, pharmaceutical companies wanted to make billions from sales. Putin was the first to try and capitalise so Sputnik was rushed out. Other countries then felt the squeeze so rushed forward a vaccine of their own - to hell with any side effects that may over time create serious health issues for millions of people. Consider the following E.U. quote: “They say, Sputnik V is good, but Putin doesn’t care to use it as a cure for the Russian people – he offers it to the world as another hybrid weapon to divide and rule. This is neither new, nor good for mankind,” ???????????? I am no fan of Putin. Yet, does anyone seriously believe Sputnik was created as an international, divisive weapon and not intended as a genuine vaccine? Let's put it this way: If anyone is foolish enough to allow governments to dictate what medication they take, what does it matter what the ethnic origen of a vaccine is? What does it matter which company makes millions of dollars in sales of a toxic substance? Are these people supposedly claiming to save lives or not? What us their motivation, restriction of travel to and from borders, or revenue from rushed pharmaceutical products? Conclusion: I imagine I will look back in 5 years as relieved not to have been taken in by this vaccine-passport farce.
