Some politicians are attacking the Russian vaccine for propaganda reasons now, because a lot the EU citizens want to be vaccinate with the Sputnik vaccine.
The French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, has described Sputnik V as more “a means of propaganda and aggressive diplomacy” than a medical asset. But positive experiences in Germany with Soviet-era vaccines have been used by some decision-makers to quell suspicion over Sputnik V.
Reiner Haseloff, the head of the eastern state of Saxony Anhalt, talked recently of the success of a Soviet vaccine against polio in the 1960s in stamping out the disease in the communist-run German Democratic Republic (GDR).
