Under-vaccinated Russia records 1,000 new COVID-19 deaths for first timeRussia has recorded 1,000 deaths over 24 hours for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, with the country's vaccine drive at a standstill and few restrictions in place.

Including kids 4+ years. (Awaiting the outrage!)
