Sorry, you can't be a "we turn you into radioactive ash" macho *and* try to sell stuff to the world at the same time...
I personally do believe Russian vaccine is genuine but you need to be totally detached from reality to believe haggling about ±2 percentage points is the way to win the markets.
Putin and his whole entourage is totally bipolar in this aspect.
@kravietz the problem is putin will blatantly lie to look powerful even when the world knows he's lying and I like Russia but even I know this 🇷🇺🙂
@Wetrix So while Putin would do a great favour to the vaccine company by just keeping his mouth shut, Russian scientists are generally very active in the global scientific community on par with their colleagues from other countries. They're taking part in large international research such as ITER or CERN and nobody is making fuss about it - thankfully Putin prefers to boast already sanctioned companies like Almaz Antey thus keeping scientists safe from his anti-Midas touch 😀
@Wetrix Depending on what you define as "Russia".
Pfizer is an US company so you could just as well say "how can you trust Trump's US about a vaccine".
The difference of course is that even Trump never really resorted to micro-management of private US companies for political gain while Putin is doing that routinely.
The latter of course lead to total lack of trust in Russian companies as reliable partners, ready to fulfill their business commitments.
