Russians spread fake news over Oxford coronavirus vaccine

They do. That's rather the point of rubbishing any Western effort in certain countries whose populations are even less educated than the UK.

Not really. This is about deliberate use of social media to undermine confidence in other countries. The British media rubbishing the Russian vaccine is highly unlikely to influence what your average cess pit cleaner in India believes.

Woohoo would be most annoyed. Probably try to unscrew their heads. Against the thread.

Waits for list of social media accounts we can check these ourselves

Waits a month

Waits 6 months

Waits a year

No still nothing Like last claims many times

Point me to the list please

Gulable people lap it up, like when Russian sales past the Uk in international waters

I thought the Russians had their own vaccination....

Yes, and unsurprisingly it was rubbished by the British media. It seems the Russian media is using tit for tat.

From that picture it seems they don't know the difference between monkeys and apes.

Anyway, if the vaccine causes ladies to develop huge red bums like baboons it won't be all bad.

Fact is any vaccine rushed out shortcutting normal safety procedures is dangerous.

Just because that's the truth doesn't make those wary of the fact an anti-vaxxer.

Roll up, roll up, get your vaccine before crimbo. It's the beta release where covidiots are the testers.

I'm not sure sharing a screenshot of a TV program that, by their own admission, is meant for a global audience is really doing much exposing.

But they said that it was going to be ready by October.

Tick tock Comrades...

apparently Chinese vaccine is very successful.
it helps when you have vaccine ready before you release a virus.

Vesti vs The Times; best to ignore both of them.

They are both going ape

“A Russian disinformation campaign designed to undermine and spread fear about the Oxford University coronavirus vaccine has been exposed by a Times investigation.

Pictures, memes and video clips depicting the British-made vaccine as dangerous have been devised in Russia and middlemen are now seeking to “seed” the images on social media networks around the world.

The crude theme of the distorted images is that the vaccine, millions of doses of which will be manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Astrazeneca, could turn people into monkeys because it uses a chimpanzee virus as a vector. The campaign is being targeted at countries where Russia wants to sell its own Sputnik V vaccine, as well as western nations.“
