“There is no possibility that Vladimir Putin will apply the Sputnik V vaccine”

Putin says he will get the vaccine after a few ‘formalities’ the same week as the Pfizer vaccine launched in Europe. What a coincidence! No matter what the vial says, there is no possibility that the untested Russian Sputnik vaccine will be applied. “

With this tweet, Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov expressed suspicion that Russian President Vladimir Putin actually applied the Sputnik V vaccine.

This comes after Russia announced that Putin would be vaccinated with Sputnik, after the country authorized the vaccination on Saturday for those over 60 years old with this vaccine.

Kasparov added: “A country with a huge sports doping program and a chemical weapons murder lab could produce and test a reliable vaccine. But dictatorships steal, cheat and kill better than they innovate ”.

And he concluded from Twitter: “Putin’s real approach is the same as always: loot and stay in power, which requires weakening the nations of the free world. “

On Christmas Day, Kasparov’s mother, Klara Shagenovna Kaspárova, the woman who led him as a manager and mentor to the world chess title, passed away at the age of 83. As reported by El País de España, the woman died of coronavirus.

Sputnik and the over 60s

People over 60 living in Moscow will be able to request shifts to be vaccinated against the coronavirus from this Monday, as announced by the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin.

“The Russian Ministry of Health has given the green light so that the elderly can be vaccinated against Covid-19 with the Sputnik V vaccine. This is great, because the elderly are the main group at risk, the one who transmits the disease the most. From Monday, they can register to receive the vaccine“Sobianin told the Sputnik news agency.

A few weeks ago, Putin, 68, informed at a press conference that he would not yet be vaccinated because Sputnik V had not yet been proven effective for people of his age group.

Who woke up suspicion in some countries interested in acquiring the Russian vaccine, such as Argentina, the first country to register Sputnik V on December 23, when the plane arrived with the first doses. Eventually, the vaccine was approved for over 60s.

At the same time, the Ministry of Health of the Nation published a document entitled “Strategic plan for vaccination against covid-19 in the Argentine Republic” with the guidelines and the foundations of the official program of vaccination of 23 million people in the country. The plan begins this Tuesday.

Personal health will take priority; strategic personnel; people over 60 and people between 18 and 59 with risk factors.
