Isn't it a smart method? Testing stuff on other populations so you protect your, and you say your daughter tested it already so as not to make people worry. You just say she had a little fever, as they say. (At the same time their president want to be the first country to test it on a large scale, so...)
I suppose it will be considered the last trial before releasing it to the public.
What's strange is that these tests are being set up by a Russian investment fund... Another thing: in Putin's statement, he says that the vaccine has a long-lasting effect... So it means they were testing the vaccine for 3 months at least
...
I miss one story and find out that the Russians are testing an (untested in Phase 3) on citizens of the Philippines to see if it works. Well shit, that's something. Not sure on why they would agree to something like this.
If it works though that's great and all, but this doesn't seem like the right road to go down to find out if it does work. Seems like a risk to Duerte. Putin -- eh -- his people probably won't find out the truth on their state run news network so it really doesn't matter for him, eh? Dictators usually don't have to face much resistance from within their country.
Putin is making all of this shit up as a propaganda event for his people and to prop himself up, artifically, on the world stage. Not sure who he thinks hes fooling, but I guess it works if he always pulls shit like this.
