Norwegian media: The European Union should request the “Sputnik V” vaccine from Russia

The Norwegian website Resett considered that, after its defeat in the strategy of vaccination against the Corona virus, the European Union will have to bow and be humble in front of Russia and ask it for its vaccine, “Sputnik V”.

The article stated: “The European Union was deceived in the fight for vaccine doses .. Russia was the first to register such a drug, but Brussels responded to that coldly, without the slightest enthusiasm.”

The article pointed out “the existence of critical articles about deficiencies in tests and skepticism about the Russian vaccine, without taking into account Russia’s leading position among the countries of the world in developing vaccines.”

He continued: “The European Union’s strategy was wrong, as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was less effective than expected, and there are suspicions that AstraZeneca causes blood clots .. Now some European countries rely on Sputnik V as a means of rescue.”

He continued, “Brussels will soon have to go to Moscow in a manner (the Canossian – an episode of the medieval struggle of the Popes with the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire), and ask them to provide a vaccine.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced earlier, “Moscow does not impose its vaccine on anyone, but when there are statements stating that it is not needed in Europe, the question that arises is: Who supports citizens or pharmaceutical companies?”

Last February, the scientific journal “Lancet” published the results of the third phase of clinical trials of the “Sputnik V” vaccine, confirming its high efficacy and safety, noting that “the vaccine showed at that time high rates of effectiveness, immunity and safety in its use that reached 91.6%, and that it provides protection.” Complete against severe cases of the new Coronavirus infection. “

More than 55 countries have expressed their consent to use the Russian vaccine, knowing that it is ranked second in the world in terms of the number of approvals obtained by government regulators so far.
