Merkel commands, EMA obeys: approval of the Russian vaccine “SPUTNIK V” finally begins

The European institutions are independent of all, except Germany, whose indications they are always ready and zealous executors. Just think of what, ridiculously, happened with the "rule of law" and the position of Poland and Hungary, pardoned by Her Majesty's decree of an unjust sentence. this is exactly repeated in the medical field.

In this case, the Chancellor had spoken out in favor of the production of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine in the European Union, obviously paying the relative industrial licenses. Now casually, but only casually, fifteen days later, we learn that EMA has already made a first round of contacts with Russian counterparts for the approval of the Sputnik V vaccine. It is expected to have, in 7 or 10 days, the necessary documentation that will not be few, given that the virus has already been inoculated in over one dose and therefore there is a fairly large case history.

It is therefore expected that the entire approval cycle will be completed by the first half of February. In the meantime, the states could prepare the agreements between the Russian owner and the national companies capable of producing vaccines, setting up the necessary production capacity. this system would work very well in Germany where there are several medium-sized companies that could meet the needs. The Russian vaccine is based on an adenovirus, that is the cold virus, and was developed by the “Gamaleya” institute and financed by the Russian Direct Investment Fund.

To put it to the ancient Romans: “Vaccinum non olet”; especially when Western companies either have production problems (Pfizer) or are in sensational delay (Sanofi) or have not yet obtained the approval and, even, they will not get it for the whole of January. Merkel, at least, knows how to decide, she's not a Count.
