Russian government working hard to discredit the Pfizer vaccine.
Imagine being someone dumb enough to use YouTube for real research...

All's fair in love and war - there's been a relentless propaganda campaign launched at the Russian vaccine by the US and its vassals too.
Canada is definitely an America vassal. This is the only place I've heard it mentioned at all.
US state media a week ago:
Doubts Mount About Efficacy of Russia's Sputnik Vaccine
Czech Republic and Brazil have withdrawn their approval of Russian COVID vaccine
www.voanews.com
Reality:
Russia's Sputnik V vaccine highly effective against Brazil virus variant
Russia's Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective in fighting off and neutralizing the aggressive coronavirus variant first discovered in Brazil, according to Russia's Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and a study conducted by researchers in Argentina.

What have we been doing besides say that they started using their vaccine too early (which was true)?

Look at the post above yours. Here's another one from a few weeks ago.
Is Russia’s Covid vaccine anything more than a political weapon?
Observers say the Sputnik V jab is aimed more at sowing political division than fighting coronavirus
www.theguardian.com
I could find hundreds in a few minutes. But it's easier just to point to a Washington Post article admitting that there was nothing but shitting on the Russian virus until the studies proved it worked. First two sentences:
"Not long ago, talk of the Russian-made coronavirus vaccine provoked mockery. “There’s no way in hell the U.S. tries this on monkeys, let alone people,” a Trump administration official told CNN.
The propaganda campaign is only the tip of the iceberg. The EU has openly threatened members not to use it. There is credible accusations that the US has done the same to other countries. Vaccine geopolitics is a thing - don't be ridiculously naive. The Russians are trying to discredit US vaccines just as the US is trying to discredit the Russian vaccine.
Dammit, I'd already regarded the shit out of it.@Maycee Barber Fan disregard

It's insane. You could argue that Sputnik is the best vaccine out there - only marginally less effective than Pfizer and Moderna but way cheaper to produce.Look at the post above yours. Here's another one from a few weeks ago.

We've been paying Pfizer/Moderna/J&J $40 for each dose, which is double the market value of Pfizer and close to double for Moderna.
I'm more than happy to stand by my previous statement. My guess would be that it receives no coverage here because we should have bought it and didn't.US state media a week ago:

Lol @ Voice of America
Those dirty Ruskies have actually been jacking up the prices on it so it's not as cheap as it should be. Still cheaper though.
You're happy to stand by all kinds of retarded statements, I am aware.
Case in point: Why 'lol @ Voice of America'? It is literally the US' largest official state media outlet, dipshit. What outlet should I have used to make a point about official US state media? Cosmopolitan? I've already posted other articles from non-state media too.

Now that I think about it, I remember reading an article recently about the Argentinean President testing positive after being fully vaccinated with Sputnik. The article called into question Sputnik's "alleged 92% immunity," which is of course a ridiculous accusation as many western researchers verified the accuracy of the phase 3 trials showing such a high level of immunity.
Breakthrough cases happen with all vaccines. They're very, very infrequent (0.03% of all vaccinated people in California for example), but they happen. Normally the person is asymptomatic or has very mild symptoms, which means the vaccine is still working.
I don't remember seeing a follow-up article about how the Argentine President was asymptomatic or how he later tested negative (he was and he did).
So are you pretending that you don't know that VOA is a foreign broadcaster or that they aren't American propagandists?
Also, note the beginning of our interaction where I indicate I'm speaking about the experience in Canada, not America.
Yes, an American propagandist that broadcasts in foreign lands. What's the problem?
Nothing, we need more of this.
No, we don't. That's a topic for another thread though. Respectfully.
