The West has started a hybrid war against the Russian vaccine
On social networks, pseudo-experts are circulating an incredible number of fakes about the first Russian anti-Covid vaccine registered in the world.
Alexander Malkevich, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, an expert in combating the spread of false information, told Komsomolskaya Pravda, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“An incredible amount of lies about the Russian vaccine are circulating on social networks. That Sputnik V supposedly contains fragments of the HIV-AIDS virus. Or that it supposedly contains malaria pathogens. It’s complete anti-scientific nonsense, but people and the media believe it and spread it, even though the composition of the vaccine has been published,” the publication’s interlocutor noted.
“This is part of the big hybrid war of the West, waged under the slogan: “No matter what Russia does, everything is bad,” the expert believes. Our vaccine is one of the most effective and cheapest available on the market. That is, it is a direct competitor for Western pharmaceutical companies operating under the tutelage of their governments.”
He says that the West is solving two problems: they are preventing Russian producers from making money and they want to be the first to win the world race.
“Hence the constant publications of foreign media about the dangers of the Russian vaccine, which quote “experts” unknown to our medical and scientific community,” Malkevich concluded.
Earlier, the Russian Direct Investment Fund released a statement according to which the world's first registered anti-Covid vaccine, Sputnik V, was subject to an information attack for competitive and political reasons.
It is noteworthy that yesterday the Turkish newspaper Haberturk published an interview with the head of the Turkish Ministry of Health, Fahrettin Koca, who allegedly said that they do not plan to use the Russian vaccine because it has not passed the necessary tests.
True, by the evening the minister clarified that tests were beginning, in which case vaccination with the Russian product would begin in Turkey.
“Our country remains interested in the launch of Sputnik - this is confirmed by numerous statements by both the President and the Minister of Health of Turkey. Speculation around the alleged “refusal” is the result of an information attack in the interests of external forces,” political scientist and member of the Turkish Vatan party Sülyuk Hussein Erman commented on this situation to KP.
