Putin compared domestic vaccines against covid with a Kalashnikov assault rifle

 The effectiveness of the American vaccine against coronavirus will become clear a decade later, and Russian drugs are based on time-tested technologies, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.  "As one of the European experts said, reliable as a Kalashnikov assault rifle. I think he is certainly right," he added.

 Russian vaccines against coronavirus are by far the most reliable and safe.  This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.  The broadcast was hosted by the Russia 24 TV channel.

 According to the president, one of the European experts said that Russian vaccines are "as reliable as a Kalashnikov assault rifle."

 “We didn’t say it, it was said by one of the European experts, and I think that he is certainly right. Simple and reliable like a Kalashnikov assault rifle,” Putin said.

 He recalled that our drugs are based on technologies and platforms that have been used for decades.  In addition, Russia is still the only country in the world that transfers vaccine production technology to other countries.

 Putin also said that the struggle between various pharmaceutical manufacturers is now escalating on world markets.  According to the president, the world markets decided to support the American vaccine Moderna, which Pfizer is aggressively fighting against.  However, the effectiveness of the drug Moderna will become clear only in a decade, since the vaccine is an innovative drug.

 Earlier it was reported earlier, at the World Vaccine Congress in Washington, the Moderna vaccine was recognized as the best drug for covid.  The development of American scientists bypassed Sputnik V, AstraZeneca, Pfizer / BioNtech and others.  The head of the Gamaleya Center, Alexander Gunzburg, called it an economic and political decision.
