Some countries may be realizing that they can’t afford to drag along for ‘just a few more months’ while their economy is tanking. There is some risk here but it avoids other risks.
- Slartie 6y agoThe thing is that just "approving" a vaccine doesn't actually avoid anything, especially not economic slowdowns. Actually having a vaccine widely available at scale and having it injected into a significant proportion of the population is what allows you to avoid all the direct negative effects of COVID-19 (with the economic angle being in large parts actually an indirect effect, since any country is dependent on the world economy and not just whether its own citizens are susceptible to COVID-19 or not). That's why I asked whether there's any tangible information regarding production timetable and availability schedules of this particular vaccine, which are in my opinion much more important to its impact than whether Putin - or anyone else really - signs off on it or not.
