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.

    I was thinking this was written by an old person who was still salty about the Soviets winning the space race, but it's like a 30 year old woman who seems to just hate non NATO countries and love veganism.

      Gulag for vegans who spend their time advocating against human rights like healthcare. Mocking another country that made a vaccine quicker than us, cheaper than us, more effective than us, and is supplying poorer countries across the world.

      I'm vegan btw

        Uh, sweaty, being vegan is all about personal freedom and my individual consumption choices. Get woke
