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.
Russians and Russians alone are the reason half the country voted for Trump twice. And I'll never forgive the Russians for that.
I've never trusted Russians, and I never will. I could never forgive them for the death of my boy. It seems to me our mission to escort the Chancellor of the Russian High Council to a peace summit is problematic at best. Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him, but how on earth can history get past people like me?
