German Health Minister Jens Spahn on Wednesday said Russia's COVID-19 vaccine had not been sufficiently tested, adding the aim was to have a safe product rather than just being first to start vaccinating people.

President Vladimir Putin announced on Tuesday that Russia had become the first country to grant regulatory approval to a COVID-19 vaccine after less than two months of human testing. “It can be dangerous to start vaccinating millions, if not billions, of people too early because it could pretty much kill the acceptance of vaccination if it goes wrong, so I’m very sceptical about what’s going on in Russia,” Spahn told radio broadcaster Deutschlandfunk.

Spahn said it was crucial, even during a pandemic, to carry out proper studies and tests and make the results public to give people confidence in the vaccine.

Right...let them test vaccine sufficiently.

The vaccine has been aproved for Phase 3 ..... nothing else 🙄

Т34 was not 'sufficiently tested' either ...but did great

100% pure Vodka. What can go wrong? This country runs on booze since ages.

It all depends Russia can be trusted or not? Can CCP be trusted?

Barbarossa 4.0

Putin is using his population for the phase 3 study of the Corona-19 vaccine, 'What do you have to lose?' Could be helpful ... and if not, it was with good intentions! Sorry Iwan's.

DON'T BUY IT IF U ARE NOT SATISFIED.

Are the Russians just mixing hydroxychloroquine with performance enhancing drugs?

It’s ok to be anti-vax now? I thought it was dangerous to question vaccines and we were told they are always perfectly safe.

SS doubts = inimical roguery

As Messrs Trump and Putin think so highly of each other perhaps they could demonstrate that trust by injecting each other with the new vaccine. What could possibly go wrong?

That's the Russia hate speaking. Right now Russia is the first and only country to provide a specific vaccine for the ChinaVirus and the daughter of President Putin himself has tried it to prove it. Instead of a simple fucking thanks Germany raises doubts? No vaccine for you.

Funny! Without any medically relevant credentials, I, too, submit for the record, the Russian SputnikV is unsafe. Only Putin & Trump advocate quickie vaccines! What does that tell you?

Garbage! People should not accept any type of Vaccine! All of them is inserting a virus in your body you never know would might be afterward!

Normal !!

Why am I not surprised 🙄.They're waiting on Bill & Melinda's vaccine.We can't let those Commis win.Our societies might think somewhat good of them.

was weiß ein Spahn schon von all den vielen Spänen global!?

No shit Sherlock

No shit

Yes, but Putin's in a test-off (aka, a battle for the most massive testicles) with Trump. So if one goes out on the limb in any claim, the other will automatically 'one-up' him. Every issue, every time. Just watch for the pattern.

Germany is ashamed that it has not developed any vaccine hence doubting Russians.

Shocker.

Is this a a new Tom Hanks movie ? Oo my bad 😂

Thanks for the information.

INRI CRISTO ,O ÚLTIMO ! ACEITA JESUS , DEUS TE AMA. CHEGOU A HORA .... É TUDO OU NADA

So it means we will be putin ourselves in danger if we take it?

Okay

Let the citizens of Russia decide if they want that vaccine...why are other countries so worried

So surprising to listen Putin talking about a finished vaccine. It would be an excellent news if true but... lot of questions....

Germany is doing whatever Americans say and I don't think the world should care what the bleach drinking Americans have to say about combating the virus...

Of course. The corrupt pedophile is not amused that he could loose his ROI! 😂😂

I mean, if this vaccine ends up killing 1 in every 2 Russians, I ain't gonna be exactly mad, lemme just be very clear about that. They hate us.

Not time for politics but applaud Russia and speed up production and distribution to the rest of the world, including Germany

Is this sour grapes?

Russia is pleased to announce that, despite rushing the tests, there are no obvious side effects. 🇷🇺 💉 🧟‍♂️

But you can trust Putin because he said he used it on his daughter. /s

Sounds about right.

“Always will be strange”

Deutschland uber alles

Imbecile, unsolicited reaction. At least Russia is trying. When was the last time Germany, UK, France, or US (except their Mars bluff) contributed something productive to the world?

MoHFW_INDIA

If it allows me to go back home.

suruagymotta Lockdown too, intubation too, holodomor of basic medicines too, masks in the street too, Dictatoship in the internet too...

But our untested ones are fine! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hitler said same about Red Army. Russians always outsmart Germans.

FDA will approve it anyway. Especially if it expedites death.

Okay there’s many rivals pharmaceutical companies

No shit 😂

Poots ripped it out over lunch on a napkin, don’t worry.

I dont trust anything from Russia other than an AK47. But if the virus works then I suspect that it them who harbored the virus and released it as well

Reason why humans won't be around by the mid-century, if they/we are lucky

Germany wait please if the Russian vaccine is dangerous. Wait for Bill Gates to come along with his super vaccine.

Pls look at Generex (GNBT)'s vaccine & share your thoughts. A complete vaccine provides immediate antibody response & long-lasting neutralizing antibody response together with a CD4+ Th1 T-cell response to ensure immune system memory and long-term immunity. Thanks!

Is this a true scientific opinion or is it sour grapes that the Bear has beaten everyone else to the starting line ? How many people did Europe or the USA or China intend to fully test before they released their 'miracle drug' ? A cynic might think this is all about 'drugs money'

not surprised and you know we will never hear of the people it kills. cuz trump's buddy putin doesn't worry about such details. does putin profit from it? trump is trying to own ours. sheeesh. these men are committing crimes agst humanity!

Auch wenn es dem Deutschen nicht passt, kommt etwas Optimismus aus Russland COVID19

This could be the truth, but many people couldn't wait.

So u created the pandemic and on top of that u wanted to sell us the vaccine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who is surprised by this?

Ok, I don’t even need scientists or countries to tell me this. Sort of a no brainer.

Well, I guess Russia will serve as one giant test for this, then.

Meanwhile, the Philippines' Duterte volunteers to be its first tester

Too much promo for Russian ”vaccine” will cause actions similar with eating forbidden fruit why that marketing ?

Hahahahha let me laugh 😆 what’s the different between Germany and USA 😳Both of countries are a full blood and jealousy in their hands

wow no way

😁😁😁 🖕🏻

GOOD VIDEO

I assumed as much
