Just talked to a friend in the south of Russia 🇷🇺 and asked about COVID-19 vaccine - he says he and all his family categorically don't want to get vaccinated with Sputnik V.

He says he will wait as long as it's possible to avoid it (meaning mandatory vaccinations enacted in some republics).

The level of distrust towards the government-sponsored vaccine I've heard in his voice is shocking and very sad, especially as his parents are 70+ and unvaccinated too.

🤦‍♂️
