Outline as to how Putin's fake Covid 19 vaccine announcement affects Trump and why Trump is counting on this vaccine as his magic bullet to help him
We shall begin with a description as to what Putin came up with, using an UNTESTED by several stages of trial Covid 19 as his magic bullet. We will begin first with the announcement, then go to what Dr. Fauci had to say about it, and then go to an analysis of why Trump is using this bogus announcement as justification for his ties to Vladimir Putin.,
Now why did Putin do this ?
A. The Putin regime is in trouble in the Russian Federation. This announcement is just as much for Russian voters and citizens as anyone else
B. Trump needs a justification of his alliance with Vladimir Putin. Trump hopes a successful Russian Covid 19 Vaccine would provide forgiveness in the USA for his botched Convid 19 response and cement his alliance with Putin as a win - win for America
C. The Russian Vaccine would be a gold mine financially for Vladimir Putin,. If one thinks Putin does not think this way, you got to be kidding
D,. By making countries dependent upon this vaccine, if it worked, Putin wishes to re create the geopolitical reach of the USSR for the Russian Federation.
First the vaccine

Putin says Russia has approved 'world first' Covid-19 vaccine. But questions over its safety remain
By Zahra Ullah and Zamira Rahim, CNN
Updated 1:27 AM ET, Wed August 12, 2020
Moscow (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the approval of a coronavirus vaccine for use on Tuesday, claiming it as a "world first," amid continued concern and unanswered questions over its safety and effectiveness.
"A vaccine against coronavirus has been registered for the first time in the world this morning," Putin said on state TV. "I know that it works quite effectively, it forms a stable immunity."
Putin added that one of his daughters had already taken it; he said she had a slightly higher temperature after each dose, but that: "Now she feels well."
Developed by the Moscow-based Gamaleya Institute, the vaccine has been named Sputnik-V, a reference to the surprise 1957 launch of the world's first satellite by the Soviet Union. It has yet to go through crucial Phase 3 trials where it would be administered to thousands of people.
The claim of victory by Putin in the global push to make an effective vaccine against Covid-19 comes amid suggestions that Russia has cut essential corners in its development.
Critics say the country's push for a vaccine is partly due to political pressure from the Kremlin, which is keen to portray Russia as a global scientific force.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the approval of the Sputnik-V vaccine during a teleconference meeting with members of his government on August 11, 2020.
Russia has released no scientific data on its testing and CNN is unable to verify the vaccine's claimed safety or effectiveness.
Despite this, Russian officials have told CNN that at least 20 countries and some US companies have expressed interest in the vaccine.
Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), which is funding the vaccine research, said interest from other countries for over a billion doses of the vaccine had been received.
"We've seen considerable interest in the Russian vaccine developed by the Gamaleya Institute abroad. Moreover, we have received preliminary applications for over 1 billion doses of the vaccine from 20 countries," he said on Tuesday.
"Along with our foreign partners, we are already prepared to manufacture over 500 million doses of vaccine per year in five countries, and the plan is to ramp up production capacity even higher. So far, countries in Latin America, the Middle East and Asia have displayed the greatest interest in the vaccine, and we are about to finalize a number of contracts for the purchase of the vaccine."
Dmitriev said Phase 3 trials of the vaccine would start Wednesday in Russia, and that they would also take place in other countries.
"We have already reached agreements on conducting the relevant trials of the Gamaleya vaccine [abroad] with partners from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and a number of other countries," he said.
Safety concerns
Vials containing the two components of Russia's Covid-19 vaccine -- named Sputnik-V -- which has been developed by the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow.
Russia enacted a law in April which eliminated the requirement for crucial Phase 3 trials to be conducted before approval. This has allowed researchers to fast track the vaccine development process.
Experts have voiced unease over Moscow's rapid approval process for the vaccine.
"It is unclear precisely what is actually happening with the Russian vaccine," Michael Head, Senior Research Fellow in Global Health at the University of Southampton in the UK, told the Science Medical Centre.
"It is vital that any vaccine roll-out has the confidence of the general public, and that there is good communication of the level of effectiveness and any likely side effects. At this point in time, there is no data on the Russian-led vaccine for the global health community to scrutinize."
Danny Altmann, Professor of Immunology at Imperial College London, told the Science Media Centre there were concerns about releasing a vaccine before it was fully tested.
"The bar is necessarily set very high for criteria that must be satisfied for approval after Phase 3 clinical trials," Altmann said. "The collateral damage from release of any vaccine that was less than safe and effective would exacerbate our current problems insurmountably. I hope these criteria have been followed. We are all in this together."
But Moscow has brushed off concerns about the vaccine's safety.
"According to the results, the vaccine has shown high efficiency and safety. All volunteers developed high [tiers] of antibodies to Covid-19, while none of them showed serious complications of immunization," Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said.
Other trials underway
Russia is just one of many countries rushing to produce a vaccine for Covid-19, which has now infected more than 20 million people, killing more than 730,000 around the world.

There are 25 other vaccines in the clinical evaluation stage of development and a further 139 candidate vaccines in the preclinical evaluation stage according to the World Health Organization.
Closely watched vaccines in development include one from the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca and another from the biotechnology company Moderna and the US National Institute of Health. Both have showed promising results and are currently undergoing Phase 3 testing.
In June, the Chinese government approved the use of an experimental coronavirus vaccine for the country's military. The vaccine, known as Ad5-nCoV, was jointly-developed by the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology -- part of the Chinese government's Academy of Military Medical Sciences -- and vaccine company CanSino Biologics.
Previous results of Ad5-nCoV trials, published in medical journal the Lancet, were met with a lukewarm response by experts.
Earlier this month, the Kremlin denied allegations Russian spies hacked into American, Canadian and British research labs to steal vaccine development secrets.

Fauci says he has serious doubts Russia's COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective
The nation's top infectious disease expert made the comments on a Nat Geo panel.

Dr. Fauci seriously doubts Russia-approved COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective
Dr. Fauci told Deborah Roberts he "seriously doubt(s)" that the Russian-approved COVID-19 vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective.
Dr. Fauci told Deborah Roberts he "seriously doubt(s)" that the Russian-approved COVID-19 vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective.
Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC News' Deborah Roberts that he seriously doubts the Russian-made COVID-19 vaccine, dubbed Sputnik V and touted by President Vladimir Putin, has been proven safe and effective.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, shared the comments exclusively with National Geographic in a virtual panel discussion moderated by Roberts. The discussion is scheduled to air Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.
"I hope that the Russians have actually, definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective," Fauci said. "I seriously doubt that they've done that."

Over 20 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 worldwide, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. COVID-19 has killed more than 737,000 people globally.
In the U.S., the worst-affected country, at least 5,094,565 people have been diagnosed and at least 163,465 have died.

Putin told officials at a televised meeting that the vaccine "forms strong immunity" and that the vaccine had already been administered to his adult daughter. The Russians plan to start administering dosages to front-line workers by the end of August.
"Having a vaccine, Deborah, and proving that a vaccine is safe and effective are two different things," Fauci discussed with Roberts. He added that the U.S. is pursuing at least a dozen vaccines of its own and "if we wanted to take the chance of hurting a lot of people, or giving them something that doesn't work, we could start doing this, you know, next week if we wanted to. But that's not the way it works."

Putin said the Russian drug has "passed all necessary tests," but with just two months of trials, experts are wary about it being safe for large-scale use.
Fauci said he hasn't heard any evidence to convince him it's truly ready, and that Americans need to understand that "announcements from the Chinese or from the Russians that [they] have a vaccine" differ from those made in the U.S. "because we have a way of doing things in this country that we care about safety."
Dr. Fauci made comments about the death threats he and his family have been receiving in a National Geographic virtual panel.

Fauci also told Roberts that how his family has been receiving death threats, and that the federal government has had to provide them with security services.
"It seems inconceivable, if you just think about it," Fauci continued, "that when you're trying to promote public health principles to save people's lives and keep them healthy ... that that's interpreted to be so far from your own way of thinking that you actually want to threaten the person. That's just no way that our society can really function well and go along that way -- we've got to get past that."

In a word, this is a Lysenko style scientific scam with many moving parts. Putin wishes to make recipients dependent upon PUTIN, and to scam countries into accepting Russian Federation control. It is obvious and nasty. A one size fits all scam to rescue Putin's investment into Donald Trump and tactical take over of other countries.
