Vaccines developed by China and Russia face scepticism but are leading the innoculation race in middle-income and developing countries

Hassan Jamil didn’t think much about the Sinopharm vaccine shots he received in the middle of last year. It was July and Covid-19 was spreading like wildfire, killing people and ravaging economies.

Sputnik V, a vaccine developed by Russia’s Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology, is facing similar criticism - even though a recent independent review“I think the main reason why there is distrust in the Chinese and Russian vaccines stems from their approval before having full clinical trial validation,” said Jeremy Rossman, an emerging disease expert at the University of Kent.

In contrast when Moderna and Pfizer announced promising results of their trials late last year, the global stock markets rallied. The report about Sputnik V being 92 percent effective has been published in peer-reviewed Lancet just this week. Lack of transparency can raise doubts, said Stephen Evans, a professor of pharmacoepidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

Such a widespread control of state means that Chinese and Russian authorities can easily hide negative information about their vaccines.
