Pfizer 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 responsi…
I 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.
"A preprint from the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires in Argentina reported no cases of clotting disorders or adverse events of special interest among 683 health-care workers vaccinated with Sputnik V. And an analysis of 2.8 million doses of Sputnik V administered in Argentina reported no deaths associated with vaccination, and mostly mild adverse events. Furthermore, a study posted as a preprint in May, from the republic of San Marino, found no serious adverse events in 2,558 adults who received one dose of Sputnik V and 1,288 who received two doses." - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01813-2

But at this point it's all moot, because we have multiple (https://www.conicet.gov.ar/wp-content/uploads/Informe-Sputni...) (https://www.fundacionfemeba.org.ar/blog/farmacologia-7/post/...) (https://magazine.oceanomedicina.com/actualidad/respuesta-inm...) reports and production of Sputnik outside of Russia (https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/pharmaceutical-fir...), which basically corroborate all of the findings of the Gamaleya Institute.
So I'm wondering why exactly there's this tremendous conspiratorial thinking about a vaccine that made claims... that turned out be completely on target with both the trial data and its epidemiological impacts in the countries where it's being applied.
The 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.
This is barely a critique of the science of the vaccine trial; it's 60% political pandering and inclusion of various public figures (completely irrelevant to the science) and their yappings about geopolitical context, peppered in with some potentially valid complaints about the approval process and the reporting by Gamaleya. But at this point it's all moot, because we have multiple ( https://www.conicet.gov.ar/wp-con…

"OGA [The Office of Global Affairs] used diplomatic relations in the Americas region to mitigate efforts by states, including Cuba, Venezuela, and Russia, who are working to increase their influence in the region to the detriment of US safety and security. OGA coordinated with other U.S. government agencies to strengthen diplomatic ties and offer technical and humanitarian assistance to dissuade countries in the region from accepting aid from these ill-intentioned states. Examples include using OGA’s Health Attaché office to persuade Brazil to reject the Russian COVID-19 vaccine"

It's not really ethical to keep the control group unvaccinated once Phase III was over and the EUA was approved. Ethics aside, the control group would probably leave the trial to get vaccinated anyway.
