Yes it does. Just check excess deaths, that's what this article is about... They both already reduce severe illness. Additionally, it's not just about the efficiency of the vaccine. But the Russian vaccine is overpromised and underdelivered regarding to sales/deliveries to the countries that agreed to buy it. They are severely failing to deliver the 2nd dose as promised. Let's not go into detail about the corruption associated with it too... Plenty of resources to verify if you did a little bit of effort ;) https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/07/09/a-royal-mark-up-how-an-emirati-sheikh-resells-millions-of-russian-vaccines-to-the-developing-world-a74461 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/07/09/a-royal-mark-up-ho... https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/11/15/what-went-wrong-with-russia-s-sputnik-v-vaccine-rollout-pub-85783 https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/11/15/what-went-wrong-wit... https://apnews.com/article/world-news-mexico-russia-europe-coronavirus-vaccine-3f9b0455d1717c02e28fc710defee0ee https://apnews.com/article/world-news-mexico-russia-europe-c... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58003893.amp https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58003893.amp https://www.news18.com/amp/news/india/what-went-wrong-with-full-rollout-of-russia-sputnik-v-vaccine-in-india-4469018.html https://www.news18.com/amp/news/india/what-went-wrong-with-f... https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/guatemala-asks-russia-return-money-over-failure-deliver-sputnik-covid-19-vaccine-2021-06-29/ https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/... https://amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/jul/22/argentina-sputnik-vaccine-russia-fails-to-deliver https://amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/jul/22/a... They didn't even do phase 3 trials and refuse to give sufficient information to the WHO. That's what you get for rushing things just to call dibs. What a mess.

Not sure where do you see that, looking at United States from the chart: - October 2020, +15% deviation from expected deaths - October 2021, +25% deviation from expected deaths

  The US is under-vaccinated versus its affluent peers and is also just about the heavy weight champ of the world (ie loaded with comorbidities that amp up the Covid mortality rate, such as diabetes). What's confusing about it?

    Ya, and it just so happens that there is a big overlap in obesity, low income, and those that won't get vaccinated. Which has created a double whammy when it comes to US deaths.

Vaccines made a negligible difference to the case fatality rate.
