Russia Registers World’s First Covid-19 Vaccine Despite Safety Concerns
Russia registered the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine, President Vladimir Putin said, marking a milestone in the fight against the novel coronavirus but amid rising safety concerns in the West over the country’s accelerated clinical evaluations.
Steve Morrison
Without publication of any data. Fewer than 100 persons tested. Russia flagrantly cuts corners. “Trust us” seems to be the message. High risk this all backfires if adverse effects, coverup, coerced “volunteer” teachers and health workers harmed.

The Unique U.S. Failure to Control the Virus
Slowing the coronavirus has been especially difficult for the United States because of its tradition of prioritizing individualism and missteps by the Trump administration.
Steve Morrison
A brilliant, profoundly depressing unwrapping of our colossal failure @DLeonhardt The powerful drivers behind our failure won’t go away, even if Biden replaces Trump. Meanwhile, there is zero chance the Trump WH changes its spots.

#Deborahbirx has an impossible job, working for an impossible boss, as the scale of failure inexorably rises in parallel with continued WH denial, obfuscation, incoherence. Surprised no one in this article mentioned #Chernobyl . @SherylNYT

US urgently needs a plan for communications, community engagement, well before safe and effective vaccines available. At the present, the anti-vaccine/anti-science are only gaining strength.
