Does Russia already have the Covid-19 vaccine? Some personal notes

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Today I have a publication that is based on research I have done, but at the same time I am in doubt since the recent announcement by Russia that it already has a vaccine for Covid-19. If this is true, the end of this whole complicated world situation is near, but, there are things that are not very clear to me, according to what I know and have been able to review, the process of creating a vaccine is complex.

At least, when the virus is already known, as in the case of influenza viruses, it takes approximately 6 months to manufacture it, in a process that includes several stages which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) are the following:

  • The identification of a new virus.
  • Obtaining the vaccine strain (the so-called vaccine virus).
  • Verification of the vaccine strain.
  • Preparation of the reagents for testing the vaccine (reference reagents). Source

Stages that are carried out in different laboratories that are collaborators of the WHO, and can take a time of 2-3 months. After that, there is a stage of manufacturing, which also takes a few months (3-4 months), and then distribution, verification in each of the different countries that receive the vaccine, as there are specific rules for administering these in each part of the world. In some cases they are tested, which may even take a few weeks or months.

This that I mention is in relation to the vaccines of frequent use, like the "Anti-influenza", that already there is a partial identification of the virus, and what I do is to update its structure, since like any virus, it has the possibility of mutating, with slight changes in its structure of DNA, which facilitates the process of identification.

But, what in this particular announcement from Russia calls my attention is that being the Crown Virus a new know, which was totally unknown, already in a short time it managed to get a vaccine, that is, to carry out these processes that I mentioned before and not only that, without testing on animals first, as is what they usually do, testing on rats or mice, since genetically we have some similarity, and then they go on to test on humans, a small group, generally volunteers, and depending on these results is that they test on thousands of people, which will involve other months of studies.

Has Russia carried out these steps yet? I don't know, if by August 12, as their deputy health minister, Oleg Gridnev, said, they plan to register the first Anti-Covid Vaccine, after conducting a trial on only 38 patients, in a study that began on June 18, 2020.

This leaves me with many doubts. The truth is that I understand the functioning of the immune system, and to think that only 38 people serve as a sample to know how the organism of the more than 7 billion inhabitants will react seems a little absurd, even more so considering that in every country in the world there are particularities that respond not only to different genetic origins but also to specific climatic conditions and even type of diet.

Could it be that they were already experimenting with the vaccine on thousands of people for a long time and that's why they dared to register the vaccine at once?

Because while it is true that we always have the United States, Germany or England as some references of progress, Russia is not left behind, it is a power, and I see a little difficult that they want to risk making such a move without first being sure.

But the WHO has not made any record of studies on thousands of people, which would be the third and final stage? Or is it that these trials on thousands of people have already been carried out under less than ideal conditions?, for example on prisoners, which would not be the first time that something similar has happened somewhere in the world

It only remains to wait, in this alone I have brought some of my concerns around this issue, as a scientist that I am. But if this vaccine really works, and as Russia says, that in October it would be carrying out massive vaccinations, the solution is welcome.

Have you heard or read anything about it?

I would like to know your opinion, thank you for reading me.

It would be funny if they actually had the vaccine. Imagine all those people disappointed that their Bill Gates conspiracies don't come true, it would be priceless

Yes, it's up to us to see what will become of the conspiracy theories.

It might be a bit of hype. I know that an organization in Germany claim to make a breakthrough. And then there were some Americans who claimed to find the Achilles heel. These organizations have published their findings. So maybe Russia is putting something together based on this. Just consider how melatonin has demonstrated an effectiveness in helping slowly disease. Maybe Russia is using a combination of stuff that it will roll out this week. Good eye, first I hear about this Russia thing.

There are many things we do not know, these countries are advanced, they are not just anything, I do not think they will be exposed to something like this of having a vaccine without having enough evidence ...
We have to wait and see what happens.
Thank you for commenting @machnbirsparo

It is possible that they have already had the vaccine before of all this 🤔

he, he, he
They have a good relationship with the Chinese. If it really was China who created this whole mess, it could all be part of a plan, whoever has a vaccine will eventually earn billions of dollars. That's the reality.

Interesting publication @josevas217 the truth I didn't know anything about it. But it is likely that they have already been doing so since, as you say, it is illogical that they want to implement such a vaccine only from that small percentage of the population, since not all organisms are the same. And I doubt very much that the WHO will allow them to do so without proper protocols.

See what happens with this.
The truth is that these are things that escape you, the ordinary citizen, from your hands.It's crazy what's happened, but I think worse things are to come. Thank you for commenting.

The truth is that it is very strange that they get the vaccine so suddenly, maybe it is a big commercial scam, they could say that they have the vaccine and more than one country will buy it later if the vaccine does not work they will say that it worked for them and they would earn millions of dollars
