It's amazing and sad that so many comments in this thread are downvote grey. A controversial topic to say the least. To those downvoting the "I don't trust Russia" comments: step back and realize that this is HN and not Parler. If the HN crowd is this skeptical, how would something like this go over with the broader American/UK/EU/etc. public? My guess is not well. Trust but verify is probably the only realistic scenario if this vaccine is to be used in the West without a (larger) political storm.
