#2The language the article uses, is a bit inflammatory. It may well be correct, but the tone gives me pause.
Sounds like the author has an axe to grind.

For what's worth, Brazilian regulators also had a bunch of issues with data provided for Sputnik. Issues were also raised when facilities were inspected.

The vaccine was being "touted" by Bolsonaro? He publicly disparaged it several times.

#5I mean, not surprising.
Here's an older hacker news thread about Brazil rejecting the Russian Vaccine.[0] It's so depressingly unsurprising in this post-truth era.

Same feeling here. Curiously enough the domain is called "For better science", where we'd have expected neutrality and impartiality to be the guiding principles of any report.
Apart from that, it is hard to believe that any of the vaccine reports and clinical trials are unbiased. Unfortunately there are too many conflicts of interest and money on the table for any information to be taken at face value. The beauty of science is that now that the vaccines are out there it becomes easier to independently access them and move our knowledge further in the right direction. And on that note, regardless of the final outcome for Sputnik V, at least there will be lessons learned for the future development of vaccines and increased scrutiny in their manufacturing process.

#7I think that what is sort of a sideline in this article is really a more important story. The Lancet and NEJM have completely debased themselves and destroyed centuries of institutional credibility in their handling of covid related research. I don't know where it goes from here but they have both burned themselves to the ground.

#9This link overly politised and does not offer technical details about these problems. The Moscow Times article [1] makes a better job.

#10Pfizer vaxed their control group at the beginning of 2021. So their long term clinical data is not just "fraudulent", it's non-existent [1]. And yet, it was FDA approved yesterday, without even knowing how many shots there are in the regimen, _and_ without dropping legal immunity for Pfizer for severe adverse effects. Some companies are more equal than others. Approved by the same person, by the way, who was responsible for Oxycontin debacle earlier [2].

For the record: I did get the Pfizer shot in May. Rather than downvoting, try to refute the facts.
