Vaccine Diplomacy has Worked! Putin Announced Cooperation with Modi to Produce Vaccines. Trump was Fooled Again?

India is a major drug producer, its generic drug output accounts for 20% of the global market. The Serum Institute, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, is also in India. Although India has no advantages in drug development and distribution, this does not prevent Modi from using the pharmaceutical industry as a political bargaining chip and playing the card of vaccine diplomacy.

The Russian vaccine that turned out recently is obviously urgently needed by Modi.

On August 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Russia has developed a safe new coronavirus vaccine. Although the Phase III clinical trial has not yet ended, the vaccine has been registered by the state. The Russian government has decided to mass-produce it next month, and it is expected to start vaccination in October.

As soon as the news came out, it was immediately questioned by the international community.

The German Minister of Health said in an interview on the radio that he very much doubted the safety of Russian vaccines. Authoritative magazines such as 'Science' and 'Nature' also published articles stating that Russia has not tested the safety of vaccines on a large scale and has blindly invested in vaccination meetings. It causes everyone to face great risks

The most serious blow comes from Dr. Fauci, who believes that developing vaccines and ensuring that vaccines are safe and effective are two different things. For the safety of the public, we cannot rush to inject vaccines of unknown safety.

This highly controversial 'world's first' new coronavirus vaccine, the first clinical trial began on June 17, and only tested on less than 100 people. It can be said that it was hurried to the market without completing human trials. Therefore, there are major concerns about its safety and effectiveness.

In this regard, the World Health Organization stated that there are currently about 150 vaccines under development worldwide, and about 28 have already started human trials. The six vaccines with the fastest progress have entered the final third phase of human trials.

The Russian vaccine developed by the Gamalian Institute and the Ministry of National Defense is one of the 28 vaccines currently undergoing clinical evaluation as claimed by the World Health Organization. Unfortunately, it is not among the six fastest-growing vaccines. It has not even been accepted the three-phase clinical trial. Therefore, it is normal to be questioned on a large scale.

Just as the opposition came one after another, Modi's nomination came. On the 12th, Russia announced that the Phase 3 clinical trial of the newly launched new coronavirus vaccine will be conducted in India and other countries.

Although there are many doubts, this vaccine has indeed received a warm welcome. Philippines President Duterte publicly stated that he is willing to be vaccinated. According to Russian sources, many countries around the world have a strong interest in the vaccine. Russia is ready to cooperate with other countries to carry out vaccine trials and production.

A spokesperson for the biotech company stated, 'At least 20 countries have expressed interest in obtaining this vaccine, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, India, etc.'

But what is strange is that when Indian media asked officials of the Indian Ministry of Health on related issues, they denied this. Said that no such cooperation has been mentioned yet, but all signs indicate that Russia’s vaccine has broad prospects in India.

At the same time, the Indian media contacted various parties, and Dr. Paul, who has been appointed as the leader of the new crown vaccine management expert group, still failed.

According to people familiar with the matter, Russia has also contacted the Hyderabad-based vaccine manufacturer to request mass production of vaccines, but the company has not yet responded to this matter.

Vaccine production is currently the highest priority for countries around the world. India's R&D capacity is insufficient. The three vaccines developed in the country are currently in the first stage, and mass production is nowhere in sight. Therefore, cooperation with other countries is the best choice for Modi. Especially as the epidemic in India is out of control and the economy is declining, Modi is eager to get a vaccine. Regardless of the safety, Russia and India come together to get what they need. .

And watching Modi and Putin get closer and closer, I don’t know what Trump will look like, Modi, Modi, are you not my good friend of Trump?
