A bit more on the BBC this evening, regarding the Russian vaccine -
'Russia is pushing ahead with a coronavirus vaccine, working with manufacturers in Brazil and India to produce it in what it says is "very large amounts".
Kirill Dmitriyev, head of Russia's Direct Investment Fund, said it was expected to be registered in the next 10 days.
He said reports in the West that it may be unsafe were an example of "dishonest competition". Mass vaccine production in September is Russia's goal. They have more than one such vaccine in the pipeline.
But Dr Elisabetta Groppelli, a virologist and lecturer in global health at St George's, University of London, told BBC Radio 4's PM no data had yet been shared about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
"It's quite worrying that the claims have been made without showing data," she said.
The scientific community felt there has been an element of rushing - and the possibly of shortcuts having been taken - when it comes to a Russian vaccine, she added.'
