MOSCOW, July 22 (Reuters) - The Gamma variant of the novel coronavirus, first found in Brazil, has been detected in small quantities in Russia, the Interfax news agency cited the developer behind Russia's EpiVacCorona vaccine as saying on Thursday.

Russia faces a surge in coronavirus cases that authorities have blamed on the Delta variant and the slow rate of vaccinations. On Thursday, Russia reported 24,471 new COVID-19 cases and 796 deaths related to coronavirus in the last 24 hours.

EpiVacCorona, Russia's second of four vaccines to be registered, was developed by the Vector Institute in Siberia. Sputnik V is Russia's flagship vaccine.

"The Delta variant is widespread on the territory of the Russian Federation, with isolated cases of the Gamma variant detected," Interfax cited the institute as saying.

The problem: Russians don’t trust the Sputnik V vaccine, even though it has a proven 90% plus efficacy rate.

They may have to go to the Cyrillic Alphabet.

I believe it is one of the most effective vaccines out there. It is based on older, proven technology, similar to Johnson and Johnson, but affords better protection. They both use an adenovirus vector.

I think they’ll do with The Andromeda Strain (1971).

Always keep in mind this is a virus with a 99-percent-plus survival rate.

A vast number of those who get it don’t even feel it, or think it’s a cold or the sniffles.

People seem to be forgetting these very simple facts as we run through the Greek alphabet.

The Coronavirus has it’s own fraternity with all the Greek letters. They could make “Animal House 2.” B-P

Clever sort of neutron bomb that was created.... Upend society, wreck economies, but the infrastructure and slave labor force will survive.

Did you ever think all of these “variants” are being purposefully released?

You f’n knew it.

They are going to bring out/discover/announce new variants of CV every so often, 2-6 months, and they will keep this thing going for YEARS. CV grants governments an entirely new way to supplant or go around virtually all Constitutional limits and/or all existing laws, and that goes for literally every gov’t in the world.

They’ll NEVER let this go.
