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.

    I was hearing/reading the many speculations including fireworks but I discounted those - even after seeing all the small flashes in the several videos. Oh gosh, if they really did store ammonium nitrate next to fireworks... I don't even know what to think, but I hope we someday hear the full truth of this situation. I feel so badly for all of those people. This is a great opportunity, sad as it is, for the US to help as much as possible and hopefully improve relations with Lebanon at the same time.

    What makes you think the US has any interest in helping the people or stabilizing the region? Look at the horror we're enabling in Yemen or Syria FFS.
