The defense Ministry has warned of foreign plans to discredit the Russian coronavirus vaccine
The Russian military Department warned about the upcoming stuffing on the inefficiency and danger of the coronavirus vaccine created in the Russian Federation. The defense Ministry also urged not to believe the claims about the total refusal of military personnel from vaccinations, since in reality the situation is exactly the opposite. This statement was made after the appearance in the fake news network about Turkey's refusal of the Russian vaccine.
An information campaign is being conducted against the coronavirus vaccine created in Russia, which is funded from abroad, said the official representative of the Russian defense Ministry, major General Igor Konashenkov. According to him, the military Department is fully aware of what funds and resources are currently being used to discredit the domestic vaccine in the world and in Russia itself.
As the official representative of the military Department drew attention to, a number of "pseudo-analytical "investigations" and perjury of "eyewitnesses" are being prepared in social networks and Russian-language Internet resources funded by foreign grants that the Russian vaccine is dangerous and it is being completely rejected, including in the Russian Armed forces.
Konashenkov assured that in reality, there are no refusals to vaccinate "Sputnik V" among military personnel, even taking into account the fact that this procedure is voluntary. According to him, the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine is demonstrated by successful practical experience.
This statement was made by the official representative of the Russian defense Ministry after the appearance of false information about Turkey's refusal of the Russian vaccine. On December 9, the media replicated the statement of the head of the Ministry of health of the Republic Fahrettin koji that Turkey will not purchase the Russian coronavirus vaccine, as it does not meet the necessary laboratory practice. "The problem is that the Russian vaccine does not comply with GLP (good laboratory practice), so it went beyond our interests," the media quoted koji as saying.
Some time later in the Turkish Ministry of health has denied reports that the Republic has refused to buy Russian vaccine against coronavirus. Such information was called a misunderstanding and called to focus on the latest statement of Fahrettin koji.
The Minister himself also did not confirm his country's refusal to purchase the Russian drug. He drew attention to the fact that the vaccine is currently undergoing proper laboratory practice in toxicology. "If everything is successful, I can say that there will be no problems," the head of the Department stressed.
"Today's case with the spread of fake news about the alleged intention of the Turkish authorities to refuse to purchase the Sputnik V vaccine, which did not correspond to reality, became another fact of publishing false information with the mention of the Russian vaccine," the RDIF stressed.
In Russia, they insist on the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine created in the country. As the official representative of the military Department stressed, the guarantee of this is the immunity formed after vaccination by Sputnik V among all those vaccinated in military structures: from the leadership of the Russian armed forces to military personnel of various units.
In addition, he recalled that virologists of the defense Department participated in the development and testing of the vaccine.
To fulfill this task, 300 teams of military medics were formed in the military districts and in the Northern fleet, he said. In the most remote military garrisons, the vaccine is delivered only in medical thermal containers, which exclude violation of the temperature regime of storage.
The Ministry of defense has already received 14.5 thousand doses of the vaccine, and more than 10 thousand military personnel have been vaccinated. Konashenkov stressed that first of all, the vaccine is received by doctors, flight personnel of the VKS, combat crews of strategic Missile forces( RVSN), command posts at all levels, ship crews, as well as commanders of units of the Russian armed forces.
