Russia has rejected international criticism and skepticism toward its coronavirus vaccine, saying that it's safe and that it works.
Russia announced Tuesday that its vaccine had been approved by its health regulators, making it the first coronavirus vaccine in the world to be registered. Full-scale production is due to start next month. Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted it was safe and effectiveThe news attracted widespread criticism and concern as to its safety and efficacy. It has only undergone rapid Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials on a small number of people and no data from these has yet been published.
"It really divided the world into those countries that think it's great news ... and some of the U.S. media and some U.S. people that engage in major information warfare on the Russian vaccine," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" Wednesday. "The phase 3 test is where you establish in thousands of people , whether something is safe and effective and this seems to have been through one of the smallest of all of the phase 2 tests of all of the dozens of vaccines being talked about around the world. So we've actually got no clue at the moment whether it's safe or protective," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe.
Accusations have come from the U.K., Canada and the U.S. that Russia has tried to "steal" coronavirus vaccine research information
