Somehow I always have to think about the articles from a while ago covering Russian propaganda campaigns against Covid vaccines. Leaking emails would fit.



Covid being a global thing has thus naturally become another battlefield in the modern cold war :

from an official US HHS report https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/2020-annual-report.p...

" OGA coordinated with other U.S. government agencies to strengthen diplomatic ties and offer technical and humanitarian assistance to dissuade countries in the region from accepting aid from these ill intentioned states. Examples include using OGA’s Health Attaché office to persuade Brazil to reject the Russian COVID-19 vaccine,"


Not a surprising reaction after the (mostly baseless) smear campaign against Sputnik V.


Let's just hope Sputnik V goes better than Sputnik II.
