I know this is published in the Lancet but the data is coming purely from Russia. While it’s still a data point of sorts I think it’s really prudent for the rest of the world to try and reproduce these results before taking them at face value.
Sorry but this data is coming from a totalitarian country where everything is directly or indirectly state controlled. I’m quite skeptical that the Kremlin didn’t put their thumb on the scales at least a little bit when compiling these results.
Since this vaccine is being sold left and right around the developing world we might in due course obtain more independent data about it. Until then it’s safer to say that the efficacy of this vaccine is basically unknown.
