Sputnik V

The Sputnik V vaccine is named after the world's first artificial satellite, the iconic Soviet-era "Sputnik 1", which was launched into low Earth orbit in October 1957 – it burned up three months later when its batteries died. Its namesake was developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in Moscow, Russia.

Any time Russia or the USSR are mentioned there needs to be some added slight in the text.

Is this meant to hint something about the vaccine? Or just about Russian manufacturing.
