    I agree. It's unlikely they'd intentionally release a bad product.

    I think I'm more of the mind that it'll be more of a pump up the stock with hype situation, like this one, and we'll be stuck hearing about new breakthroughs for another year before anything actually happens.

      Yes, I do think there is gonna be plenty of false hype. But I don't think whatever comes out will be untrustworthy. It is in no one's interests (no one who matters here at least). And I don't think we should be casting doubt because there's gonna be a serious wave of antivaxxers when it comes out and it's gonna fucking wreck us.

      Sputnik V seems to be slightly easier to store and administer en masse so far. It still requires like -20 degrees and two doses, but I would guess that's better than - 70 degrees and two doses, plus they seem to have managed to vaccinate a lot of people already. I'm pretty pissed about how the EU and Western media in general are trying to cast doubt on it as if it is any riskier than the western alternatives could be. Eventually there is gonna be a one dose, room temperature vaccine but until then, I hope the people who are most in need do end up doing Sputnik V or whichever it's gonna be and our countries don't get shitty about it.
