You’re driven by prejudices and propaganda. Russia vaccinates own population in mass now. I got my first shot two weeks ago and on Monday gonna get a second, for free.

Unfortunately what the world witnesses so far about Russian 'pharma' is the continuous streak of poisonings and denials. No wonder lots of people have doubts.

As for anything visible happening currently 'en masse' is the protestor arrests. Holding cells overflowing to the extent that people are being ferried to distant police stations, in some cases over 100km away. No way this is helping to contain the virus spread.

This is exactly it. Main reason there are no queues to get vaccinated in Russia is public distrust.

Distrust is not because of what the authorities are proposing, but because people are generally distrustful of vaccines.
