    Russia President Putin agrees to take Sputnik V shot, elderly to begin receiving vaccine in Moscow

    Russia's President Vladimir Putin will receive the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine as soon as "all formalities are completed", the Kremlin said on Sunday.


    Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will receive the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a Russian state TV channel on Sunday.

    “He said he will be vaccinated, he made this decision and was waiting until all formalities are completed,” the spokesman was quoted as saying to Rossiya 1 TV Channel on its website.

    Russia launched a voluntary vaccination programme with the Russia-made Sputnik V vaccine earlier in December, starting with the most vulnerable groups in Moscow.

    People over the age of 60 may begin to apply for shots on Monday, Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on his website on Sunday, the day after the Russian health ministry said the vaccine was approved for use by elderly people after a separate trial.


    68-year-old Putin said earlier that the Russian vaccine was effective and safe and he saw no reason not to be vaccinated adding that he was waiting until it became available.

    Since the start of the coronavirus outbreak in Russia, Putin has mainly worked remotely, held meetings via videolink and limited travel.

    He said in August that one of his daughters had taken part in the clinical trial of the vaccine and felt well afterwards.

      "Russia has reported millions of COVID cases but has maintained a low mortality rate that has caused international observers to raise questions about the nation's official pandemic reporting." As though we all had not already realized.

      Russian official reveals Russia's COVID death toll is likely 3 times higher than what Moscow has reported - TheBlaze
      My guess is that the true number is more than likely as much as 10 times what they are admitting to.

        Put these copier techs together with moderately skilled Russian social media officers and translators to create multiple personas with the intent to incite social unrest in the USA and around the world.

          CTN makes no effort to confirm a members real world identify, therefore, this social media platform is a perfect target for hackers, trolls and players who's primary interest is to sew distrust and tear at the social fabric.

              imagine how much could have gone to WE THE PEOPLE? and there was an equal amount of PORK in the other bills.

              No wonder someone goes into the Senate @ $175,000/yr and comes out with MILLIONS in the bank and lives in a mansion with 3 others to choose to occupy on a whim.

                      It's called an Omnibus bill that Republicans and Democrats both negotiated over many months to and came to an agreement and approved of.

                      All of the items listed are fantastic and will help reinvigorate parts of the economy and will create new jobs for 10,000s of people.

                          The Trump Administration promised 20 Million people would be vaccinated by December 2020 so far Only 2.1 Million vaccinated.
                          Another HUGE FAILURE OF TRUMP PENCE Administration.

                              I wonder how many other ops have or will occur? If you are going to get the vaccine, better make sure it is the correct vaccine.
