The Russian government claimed that there were no side effects of the vaccine, while documents show that 144 types of side effects have been seen in 38 volunteers. Even on the 42nd day of the trial, 31 out of 38 volunteers were seen struggling with these side effects. Volunteers had many problems after taking the dose. The WHO has also been questioning this vaccine for the past several days.
WHO states that Russia did not follow the guidelines set for the vaccine, so it is difficult to trust the success of this vaccine.

Third claim: The Ministry of Defense has made several statements that the vaccine is safe.
Truth: Whatever vaccine trials are going on worldwide, researchers are sharing the data and important information related to it. Every information is also being given to WHO. However, this is not the case in the Russian vaccine. Information related to the trial has been revealed only in the statements.
It was not shared with the Scientific Journal or WHO. To this, the WHO has stated that Russia has not followed the guidelines for making the vaccine, so it is difficult to trust the success and safety of this vaccine. Many guidelines have been made for vaccine production, which the teams are also doing this, they have to follow it.
The WHO has given a list of 25 vaccines undergoing clinical trials on its website, while 139 vaccines are currently in the pre-clinical stage.
Fourth claim: The Russian government and the vaccine manufacturer are making separate statements. The government is yet to show any side effects in the trial. Gamalaya National Research Center, which prepares the vaccine, said fever may come. However, this can be corrected by giving paracetamol tablets.
Truth: Documents say that the side effect is not limited to fever only. Russian news agency Fotanka claims that the list of side effects seen in the body of volunteers is long. On this, Gamalaya Research Center now says that based on the research done on so few people, it is difficult to say exactly which side effects will be visible.
According to the documents, 144 types of side effects have been seen in 38 volunteers. Even on the 42nd day of the trial, 31 out of 38 volunteers are struggling with these side effects. There are also 27 types of side effects, the reason for which the institute that makes the vaccine is not understood.
Fifth claim: Putin said, after taking the vaccine dose, the daughter had a lot of antibodies.
Truth: It has been reported from the documents that after giving doses Volunteers antibodies remained below average level.
Not only WHO, experts around the world are raising questions
Professor Francoise Ballux of University College London says, it is shameful for Russia to do so. This is a very poor decision. It is wrong to give vaccines to people on a large scale, ignoring the trial guidelines. It will have a bad effect on human health.
According to Germany’s Health Minister Jens Spahn, the Russian vaccine has not been adequately investigated. Giving it to people can prove dangerous. It is more important to be safe than the first vaccine.
