group of German tourists travelled to Russia on Friday to get vaccinated against the coronavirus amid vaccine shortages in Europe. Around 50 Germans flew to Moscow from Frankfurt on Thursday evening to get their first shot of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine as part of the vaccine tour organised by the German office of European Tour Operators. During the three-night trip tourists are getting vaccinated by a Russian private clinic at a hotel and combine it with sightseeing of lockdown-free Moscow. "Lots of Germans want to go to Moscow to get the vaccinations and to combine the trip with holiday or with cultural program, so it works," said one of the tour organisers Hans Blank. For 46-year-old software developer from Stuttgart, Uwe Keim, vaccination in Russia is the only option available at the moment after Serbia halted vaccination for foreigners. "In Germany I saw that getting a regular vaccine was approximately five to ten months in the future, so it was too long for me," said Keim. Although Sputnik V has not yet been approved for use in the EU, German tourists trust the study published in the British medical journal The Lancet saying the vaccine is 91% effective and appears to prevent inoculated individuals from becoming severely ill with COVID-19.
You got any links or info to paste about Sputnik vaccine?
It may not be mRNA how does it differ from the others such as JnJ, Novavax, Covaxin (from India) etc. Just curious. China’s vaccine appears to be minimally (if at all) effective from various reports but who can I trust for information these days?
Not sure you know, but it is not MRNA.
“ Gam-COVID-Vac is a viral two-vector vaccine based on two human adenoviruses – a common cold virus – containing the gene that encodes the full-length spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV-2 to stimulate an immune response.[5][11][12] The Gam-COVID-Vac vaccine was developed by a cellular microbiologists team of the government-backed Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. The group was led by MD and RAS associate member Denis Logunov, who also worked on vaccines for the Ebolavirus and the MERS-coronavirus.[13]”
I do have relatives in Moscow, they laugh at the US MRNA, ( Biden’s poison), scientists there have published very negative reports about long term Effects, the experimental designation, etc...not much to do till the long term effects of MRNA starts surfacing...hint: look for “ neurological “ effects.
No I just assumed it was not mRNA based. Thanks for the info. Though, I am not surprised if Moscow citizens laugh at the US about anything at this point. Of course, we laugh at them too. Meanwhile, TPTB plunder everything in sight.
....I myself ( if scared of Covid) would take the Sputnik over others, Turkey, Korea, Argentina , Brazil ...have signed agreements to produce it themselves, very few if any countries of the world are taking MRNA.
“ According to the Russian Direct Investment Fund, they had received orders for more than 1.2 billion doses of the vaccine as of December 2020. Over 50 countries had made requests for doses, with supplies for the global market being produced by partners in India, Brazil, China, South Korea, Hungary, and other countries.[75][76] In August 2020, according to the Russian authorities, there were at least 20 countries that wanted to obtain the vaccine.[77]
The vaccine is free of charge to users in Russia. The cost per dose would be less than US$10 (US$20 for the required two doses) on international markets, much less than the cost of mRNA vaccines from other manufacturers. Kirill Dmitriev, head of the fund, told reporters that over 1 billion doses of the vaccine are expected to be produced in 2021 outside of Russia.[78][79]
The Israeli Hadassah Medical Center signed a commercial memorandum of understanding to obtain 1.5–3 million doses.[80]
According to The New York Times’ sources,[81] to secure the release of an Israeli civilian held in Syria, Israel agreed to finance a supply of Russian-made COVID-19 vaccines for Damascus.
Argentina agreed to buy 25 million doses of Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine, subject to its clearing clinical trials;[82] the vaccine was registered and approved in Argentina in late December 2020.[83] The Brazilian state of Bahia signed an agreement to conduct Phase III clinical trials of the Sputnik V vaccine and planned to buy 50 million doses to market in northeastern Brazil.[84].....
America has been played, big time.
I’ll be in Russia starting in June until the end of the summer. I’ve already had Covid but my plan is to watch my antibody level. If it is dropping significantly by the time I’m ready to come back to the USA, I’m going to get the Sputnik shot. It seems to be the best in the world, based on all the data I’ve seen.

If I was to get a jab, that would be my choice also. Very few ( if any) side effects being reported and it is being used / ordered by 60 countries, of course US media will not mention that. Why the huge push to get MNRA by a senile, corrupted Biden administration? An agenda, sinister in my opinion.
Unfortunately the big drug dealers ( Pharma) have enormous influence on the sheeple.
