SougarLord Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Clinical trials of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Russia's National Center for Epidemiological Research and Microbiology in Russia have been completed and the registration phase is beginning, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko reported. The speed of these experiments raises certain suspicions among the Western scientific community, which has serious doubts about the reliability and safety of this treatment. The new coronavirus vaccine developed by the Gamalei center has completed clinical trials and documents are now being prepared for registration, Murashko said, cited by TASS. According to the Minister of Health, doctors and teachers will be the first to receive this vaccine, and it is planned that it will be sent to the Russian regions from August 10. We are planning that the broader vaccination campaign, which will gradually be added to the new care system, begin in October, he said. The minister added that the second Russian vaccine, developed by the Véctor center, is currently in the process of clinical tests and stated that the Ministry of Health expects in the next month and a half or two months to receive two other requests for permission to carry out of clinical trials of new vaccines. The day before, the leading epidemiologist in the United States, Anthony Fauci, said he hopes China and Russia are actually testing the Covid-19 vaccines they develop before giving them to someone. Fauci made these remarks after Russian authorities indicated the upcoming approval of the new coronavirus vaccine, ahead of the United States. Russia registers a slight improvement in the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since last July 20 the number of new infections has remained below 6,000 and today only 95 deaths have been reported, 66 fewer than the previous day. During the last day, 5,462 new cases were reported, 1,356 (24.8%) asymptomatic, while 8,114 patients were discharged. Since the pandemic began, 845,443 people have fallen ill in Russia and 14,058 have died, which places it in fourth place worldwide for the number of infections, surpassed by the United States, Brazil and India. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
