#Putin made interesting comments that are important to understand how #Russia reads the situation with promotion of #vaccines
1. #Putin: "Global market for #COVID19 vaccines is worth $100 billion. We see how competitors of our producers behave: they enter a country [that is in need for vaccines],sell a small batch of vaccines on a discounted price but condition the sale with that...
2. "...the country will only purchase that vaccine from that producer in the future. So, there’s a real fight for the markets".
3. $100 billion is a big market.
#Russia makes over $15 bln on arms sales (unofficial stats have it as high as $55 bln), about $25 bln for agricultural sales; aroudn the same amount on gas sales (thou it depends on supplies),oil and oil products a little over than $100 bln.

4. So all of a sudden there’s this huge market and there’s heavy fight over it.
@dimsmirnov175 cites an anonymous “source in the #Kremlin” who said that Russian intel services are aware that their foreign counterparts seek to launch a massive infowar against #Russia/n vaccines

5.The source reportedly said that soon there’ll be many reports over #Russia/n vaccines inefficiency & that they even health dangerous. Allegedly, even "staged cases of massive losses of human life after using SputnikV will be propagated via @USAID, @georgesoros @thomsonreuters
6. The target audience for this campaign will be European countries who registered #SputnikV for their emergency use – #Hungary, #Slovakia, #Montenegro, #SanMarino and N.#Macedonia.
7.On a parallel track,#US & allies,according to the “Kremlin source” 'd release “investigations” about "incompetence of #Russia/n specialists in vaccination & immunology to halt their certification by @WHO,other relevant agencies,lower demand for RU vaccines from other countries
8. “The #Kremlin source” adds #US "aggressively promotes @pfizer, eyes to make sure US free of not only from the payment of possible compensation to citizens in lawsuits in the event of side effects,but also from liability for negligence of the direct manufacturer"
9.#SputnikV now world’s 2nd in terms of demand with 50+ countries having provided permit for its use. Struggle for markets in #Europe,#LatinAmerica,#Africa #Asia will get even biger when we’ll [most likely] learn that vaccination is not a one time deal but a seasonal routine

PS.This chart is telling in the kinda tricks one may pull:#Russia's #SputnikV completed all the stages,but designers of the chart (1) put it at the bottom (2) don't use its product name (3) mark it with (*) caveating its effictiveness as if ABC "independently fact-checked" others
