Twitter demonstrated “Russophobia taken to the point of idiocy”
Last night, Twitter restricted access to the account of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V.
The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
However, within an hour, Twitter restored access to the page, explaining the incident as an alleged attempt to hack the account of a vaccine from the American state of Virginia in the United States.
First Deputy Head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov believes that what happened was not an accident.
“In my opinion, this is ordinary unfair competition. This is part of the sanctions measures that Americans use around the world. They see that our vaccine is gaining momentum, more and more countries are interested in it and are officially registering it. They probably want to slow down the spread of knowledge about our vaccine.
If this continues, we need to think - do we even need Twitter? We have other social networks. This suggests that America has ceased to be a country that is the standard of freedom of speech, but has turned into a totalitarian power,” Dzhabarov said.
A similar opinion is shared by the head of the department of microbiology of latent infections, a member of the presidium of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and the New York Academy of Sciences, virologist Viktor Zuev, who called the blocking of the vaccine account “disgusting.”
“This is due to the success of our vaccine, especially given the fact that 23 people have died from the Pfizer vaccine. Russophobia brought to a state of complete idiocy,” says Zuev.
And member of the Public Chamber Alexander Malkevich calls the incident “a kind of yellow card.”
“The fame of our vaccine and its success has spread widely throughout the world. This is unprofitable for those who are trying to squeeze it out of the market. And seeing that the first wave of hoaxes and hoaxes about our vaccine did not work, the virtual corpses of those who allegedly died because of it in real life could not be presented, opponents decided to limit the flow of information about the drug as much as possible,” says Malkevich.
