Jealousy of outsiders: in response to Russia's development of a vaccine against COVID-19, the US screams of theft
The successful completion of anti-Covid vaccine trials in Russia provoked hysteria and anger in the West, which wants to impose further sanctions against our country.
Stories about Russian hackers who have now stolen secrets from American and British laboratories are used as a pretext.
The UK's National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) was the first to disperse the wave, declaring that notorious Russian hackers were trying to obtain information about coronavirus vaccines being developed in Western laboratories. Then the Republican Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, got involved, promising new sanctions against Russia in this regard.
“Moscow’s malicious actions to weaken our fight against the pandemic must not go unchecked,” the politician wrote on Twitter. “In the coming days, I will introduce legislation to ensure that Russian hackers are held accountable.”
“Russia has nothing to do with these attempts,” Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov countered the American attack.
But the head of the Rossiya Segodnya information holding, journalist Dmitry Kiselev, answered the Americans more succinctly.
“Britain, America and Canada are demonstrating helplessness by trying to accuse Russia of stealing information about the vaccine,” Kiselyov wrote on his TG channel. – Just the facts:
– The accusations are unfounded
– Russia was the first in the world to complete tests of its vaccine on volunteers who developed antibodies.
How can you steal from England, America and Canada what they don’t have?”
Back on July 12, the director of the University’s Institute of Translational Medicine and Biotechnology, Vadim Tarasov, announced that Sechenov University had successfully completed trials of the world’s first vaccine against COVID-19.
