MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's health minister is preparing a mass vaccination campaign against the novel coronavirus for October, local news agencies reported on Saturday, after a vaccine completed clinical trials.

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said the Gamaleya Institute, a state research facility in Moscow, had completed clinical trials of the vaccine and paperwork is being prepared to register it, Interfax news agency reported.

He said doctors and teachers would be the first to be vaccinated.

    Russians always try it on themselves first. In this particular case, political and economy elite is trying it since April.
    Yes, I know western culture has trouble comprehending it - always was, always will. Russians may be whatever bad things is said about them, but they are stoics. That's why they won all the major wars against all the odds and will win them in the future. It would be smart to stay away.

    All majority White countries need to form an iron clad alliance. Not to attack others, but for self improvement and protection. Keeping Russia poor is not good, IMO. We'd have to kick the Bolsheviks out of the US gov/finance first, though.
