I participated in the AstraZeneca trial in the UK. I dropped out after learning they were collaborating with Russia's Sputnik vaccine

to test combinations of the Oxford coronavirus vaccine and the Sputnik V vaccine, I was devastated. I felt betrayed by a prestigious scientific team that was supposed to be winning over the vaccine skeptics. At my last trial appointment a few weeks ago, where I gave a blood sample, I had joked with the medical student who saw me about the Sputnik vaccine. Neither of us trusted it, and we wanted to develop a genuine one.

I have been in the Oxford trial, a joint project with AstraZeneca to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, since early June. I've had two doses of either the vaccine or the placebo. I was very enthusiastic to help develop a safe and effective vaccine, gave several interviews to UK media outlets about my participation in the trial, and spoke positively about the vaccine on Times Radio and LBC radio. AstraZeneca's announcement undermines its efforts to develop trust in its new vaccine.

I am a journalist specializing in writing about Russia. Lately I've been writing quite a bit about the dubious rollout of the Sputnik V vaccine. Vladimir Putin's regulators triumphantly approved use of the vaccine in Russia in August, before sufficient trial data had been produced. It was entirely a propaganda show to prove that Russia was ahead of the rest of the world. , Russia's sovereign wealth fund.

I recently translated an article for the IranWire website by Ilya Klishin that said exactly that. "This is an informational painkiller for the soul," he . "Which fewer and fewer people believe. Even inside Russia. Because you can escape from reality for a while. But not forever."
