Hungary slams EU for ‘political’ refusal to recognize Russian Covid-19 vaccine
27 Nov, 2021 21:15 / Updated 5 hours ago

Hungarian FM Peter Szijjarto told RT he’s “frustrated” with Western officials playing politics with Russia’s Sputnik V, the world’s first Covid vaccine. He says they can’t bring themselves to publicly admit it’s “the best.”

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Janssen, yet Russia’s Sputnik V is still awaiting the agency’s nod despite getting approval in over 70 countries worldwide. For Hungarians vaccinated with Sputnik V, that means they’re frozen out of the EU’s bloc-wide Digital Covid Certificate system, even though Hungary will start locally producing the vaccine next year.

“This is a political and ideological issue and I am very frustrated about this,”Szijjarto told RT, describing how under EU regulations, either the EMA or national governments can approve vaccines, as Hungary’s government did with Sputnik V and China’s Sinopharm shot. “We don’t understand why [this approval] is not respected by the other member states,” he added.

The EU’s cold shoulder for the Sputnik V shot is more a question of politics than efficacy, Szijjarto suggested.

“Whenever I talk to Western European colleagues... they always tell me that they know that Russian scientific performance can be spoken about only very highly,” he said. “I tell them ‘Look, it works the best. Of course it works well.”

Privately they all say that… when it comes to publicly, they all say differently.

This is the same Russian vaccine that Putin can't get Russians to take.

If you don't see any difference between the Western world (not just the US) and Russia or North Korea, then any discussion is useless.
Russia has a lot of "Clinton foundations". They call it oligarchs.
Clinton foundation does not kill people; oligarchs do.

I am not privy to the intimate details of the lives of the Clintons, for example. They do have a history of people dying at convenient times. Are those assassinations? I don't know. Everyone with a big enough circle will have people die in suspicious circumstances.

However, I am a firm believer that all people are the same everywhere. Therefore, whatever Russia/NK leaders would do, so would ours, given enough rope. Case in point, in some countries people are getting arrested for violating pandemic curfew. Is that much different from North Korea? I'd say same painting, different brush.

i did and lived under that regime. That is why I said Russian mostly killed their own, outside aggression is still rare outside of forming Soviet Union.

What we did specifically in Iraq as one example, is an humanitarian tragedy. So we kinda can not say we are all that innocent.

I live in West Europe. I never heard of a single case where somebody was arrested for violating pandemic curfew. The countries which would arrest somebody for violating pandemic curfew are as evil as Russia, China and NK. You also clearly said in SOME countries, so in MOST it does not happen.
