Sure, and I never said otherwise. But all things considered this is pretty minor.

>They've made the vaccine demonstrably less safe, either through carelessness or because they don't care. Don't minimize that, or assume it's the only place where the reality of sputnik doesn't match up to the phase 3 data.

Yes, this does make the vaccine marginally less safe. Not by much. Empirically, after millions of doses administered, the safety profile of the vaccine is more than acceptable as is.

>The fix is Gamaleya taking their current production facilities offline figure out where the problem is and fix it. Unless you're suggesting that regulators should just go full YOLO on this and let it slide, which is a stupid idea.

I literally say the exact same thing. In any case, Gamelaya right now is trying to get other people to produce the vaccines, but sure they should fix this issue. It will not be complicated.

You don't know that this is the same vaccine as what was injected before.

Why is there any reason to think it wasn't? Replicant viruses are very easily explained by a QA failure, and Brazil doesn't claim that non-replicant viruses aren't there anymore.

That QA failure means the vaccine injected is different: they tested without reproduction competent in the trials. What else could they have missed along with this?
