President Vladimir Putin announced Russia and approved a coronavirus vaccine earlier in the week.
Francois Balloux, professor of computational systems Biology at University College London, said Russia's approval"is a reckless and foolish decision."
"Mass vaccination with an improperly tested vaccine is unethical," he said on Twitter."Any problem with the Russian vaccination campaign would be disastrous both through its negative effects on health, but also because it would further set back the acceptance of vaccines in the population."statement on Tuesday the"only sensible way" to get information on whether a vaccine is safe and effective"is through very large well-designed phase 3 trials."
"Whilst details about the Russian vaccine are scant, it does appear to have gone through the early trial phases, so it's safety profile should be reasonably well known, but whether it will work has not been established and therefore it doesn't strike me as being very sensible to roll this out routinely," he said.
