CNBC: Putin claims Russia has registered the world’s first coronavirus vaccine, says his daughter has taken it
Clinical trials of this Russian vaccine have been completed in less than two months and phase three trials are set to begin shortly.
The medical community is looking at this news with a lot of skepticism.
"In a lot of these situations, you might only get one shot at taking a vaccine within a season. So if you put a vaccine on the market that's not efficacious, it's going to be hard to re-vaccinate the population," says @ScottGottliebMD on the risks of Russia rushing a vaccine. pic.twitter.com/7Kl4qmHQLZ
