It has also been deemed to be safe - and offer complete protection against hospitalisation and death.
The vaccine was initially met with some controversy after being rolled out before the final trial data had been released.
But scientists said its benefit has now been demonstrated.
...
The Sputnik vaccine works in a similar way to the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab developed in the UK, and the Janssen vaccine developed in Belgium.
It uses a cold-type virus, engineered to be harmless, as a carrier to deliver a small fragment of the coronavirus to the body.
...
But unlike other similar vaccines, the Sputnik jab uses two slightly different versions of the vaccine for the first and second dose - given 21 days apart.
They both target the coronavirus's distinctive "spike", but use different vectors - the neutralised virus that carries the spike to the body.
The idea is that using two different formulas boosts the immune system even more than using the same version twice - and may give longer-lasting protection.
As well as proving effective, it was also safe with no serious reactions linked to the vaccine during the trial.
Some side effects to a vaccine are expected but these are usually mild, including a sore arm, tiredness and a bit of a temperature.
And there were no deaths or serious illness in the vaccinated group linked to the jab.

That's nice, but it's a fairly short range study.
The pharma industry is one of the most nationally protected (i.e. no real fair trade or competition) across national borders in many cases.
Verified by who? The Russians? I don’t think so.

Would you trust Fauci more?
I’m sure this will be dismissed by those who think Russia can’t do anything right, but yeah, this news is legit.
From the article I linked in post 9: “Researchers say, based on their trial that involved about 20,000 people in Russia last fall, the vaccine is about 91% effective and appears to prevent people from becoming severely ill with COVID-19. The study was published online Tuesday in the journal The Lancet.
Scientists not linked to the research acknowledged that the speed at which the Russia vaccine was made and rolled out was criticized for “unseemly haste, corner cutting and an absence of transparency.”
“But the outcome reported here is clear,” British scientists Ian Jones and Polly Roy wrote in an accompanying commentary. “Another vaccine can now join the fight to reduce the incidence of COVID-19.””
I trust the Russians more than I would ever trust Fauci.
Not threaten nuclear annihilation of America.
What have Bill Gates and Fauci done to deserve your trust any more than Russia?

This was a full scale clinical trial, with results published in Lancet. Several major countries are producing and administering this vaccine.
I was holding out hope for the J&J vaccine, but after seeing its poor numbers, I'm going to wait and get Sputnik V in Russia in June.
oops...
non lethal.
thanks for the catch.
