News that may affect you directly
Scientists from several countries around the world questioned the authenticity of data on successful trials of the Russian vaccine . On September 4, the scientific journal The Lancet published the results of trials of a vaccine from the Gamaleya Center. A group of researchers from several universities in Italy, the US and other countries found statistical anomalies in the article. The scientists addressed an open letter to the developers and the editorial staff of the journal and asked to provide the "raw" data of the devices obtained during the measurements, and to clarify some other details of the study. We took a comment from the head of the Gamaleya Center, Denis Logunov. He stated that there were no errors in the publication.
The first batch of the Russian vaccine was released into civilian circulation . The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation said that deliveries of the first batches of the drug to the regions should begin in the near future . The start of mass vaccination is scheduled for October. At the same time, the third phase of clinical trials of the vaccine will begin, in which 40,000 volunteers will participate.
The first Russian who failed a covid test after returning from abroad was fined . A fine of 15 thousand rubles (this is the minimum possible amount) was issued to a Petersburger . He did not report on passing the test within the three-day period established by law.
The second stage of clinical trials of the vaccine from the Vector Center has been completed . Today, the final group of 20 volunteers was discharged from the hospital. As stated in the press service of Rospotrebnadzor, they all feel good . In total, the vaccine was tested on 100 volunteers. The results of the tests should be summed up on September 30. If all goes well, the vaccine will be registered, just like the Sputnik V drug developed at the Gamaleya Center.
What else
The head of the Ministry of Health did not agree with the assessment of mortality from covid, which was expressed by Roszdravnadzor . Yesterday, the head of Roszdravnadzor, Alla Samoilova , said that deaths in “covid” hospitals are registered in completely different ways. Somewhere, deaths from COVID-19 were considered “almost 100% of deaths,” and somewhere, “almost zero.” The head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, said that Roszdravnadzor did not check all the data , but only the statistics for individual hospitals. Murashko added that "carrying out such an analysis is within the competence of the Ministry of Health of Russia and Rosstat"
