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 have heard this mentioned several times by people like you and the various democrats on the site. Do you actually believe he was suggesting bleach consumption?

    Who are "people like you"?

    1. We all saw and heard the video of what Trump said.
    2. Yes, I actually heard him suggest that maybe we could find some way to use these disinfectants internally. (paraphrased)
    3. Then "people like you" say it didn't happen. We did NOT hear or see that! By order of the ministry of truth.
    4. Then the Trump administration comes out and says, why yes, what you heard and saw was what was said, but it was sarcastic.

    Of course, anyone with a working sarcasm detector knows it wasn't sarcastic.

    Oh, and I thought Republicans reserved phrases such as "people like you" for persons of African descent. (I mean no offense to black people.)

    Or are you just using it because it is politically effective?

    In case this isn't abundantly clear by now, I'm using it for one simple PRIMARY reason:

    because it was funny

    I'm also happy to make jokes about Democrats, and have done so. But then you don't seem to mind.
