'Exciting Conspiracy' About COVID-19 Vaccines in the World
Russian newspapers revealed that the European Union did not recognize some vaccines for the Coronavirus, noting that this calls into question the efficiency of unrecognized vaccines.
The newspapers pointed out that this confirms that what the union makes is better than other vaccines, in an escalation of the conspiracy theory again regarding the global pandemic.
The Russian newspaper "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" published an article by researcher Andrei Vasiliev, on the current European Union measures and vaccination against the "Coronavirus.
The Russian newspaper "Lenta.ru" also mentioned the types of vaccines adopted by the Federation for travelers to it, speaking of the conspiracy theory that some believe due to Europe's failure to adopt some vaccines, such as the Russian and Indian vaccine.
Vaccine Classification
Rossiyskaya Gazeta's article, indicated that the American "ABC News" network revealed in some of its reports that there is inequality in the classification of vaccines for the Corona virus in the European Union.
It conveyed the expectation of the news network to prevent millions of people who have been vaccinated against Corona in other countries from entering some European countries.
The newspaper "Lenta.ru" indicated that the European Medicines Agency approved the "AstraZeneca" vaccine produced in Europe, at a time when a number of European Union countries do not recognize the same drug made in India.
The European Medicines Agency, the European regulator, alleges that the drug company did not fill out the documents needed to manufacture the Indian drug, including the paper on quality control standards.
According to some experts, the decision of the European Union constitutes a clear distinction, which they stressed will negatively affect the ability of citizens who receive the vaccine to travel, which will have a negative impact on the fragile economy.
In addition, the EU's recognition of one vaccine over the other undermines people's confidence in vaccines, and in this case the quality of some medicines will be questionable.
"Rossiyskaya Gazeta" quoted a Nigerian citizen who received the Indian version of the "AstraZeneca" vaccine, as saying: "The drug has been approved by the World Health Organization for emergency use." He added that he believed that the European Union's decision not to recognize the Indian vaccine opens room for conspiracy theories that say that the vaccines received by Africans are "not as good as the vaccines that Western countries manufacture for themselves".
Suspicious
As for the vaccines of the companies "Pfizer", "Moderna", and "Johnson & Johnson", they are also included in the European Union's list of officially approved vaccines.
However, the European list does not include many other vaccines used in developing countries, including those made in China and Russia.
Some countries may issue permission for free movement of people who have received other vaccines, in particular, the Russian drug "Sputnik V", which has been approved by Hungary and Slovakia.
The Russian official expressed confidence that if political prejudices and pressure groups were removed, the Russian vaccine would be recognized in the European Union.
More than half of adults in the European Union are fully vaccinated against the Coronavirus.
The Russian writer, Vasiliev, stated that Ursula von der Leyen announced that pharmaceutical companies had provided sufficient doses to vaccinate 70 percent of European adults.
More than half of all adults in the EU are now fully vaccinated!

According to the European Commission, 366 million people over the age of 18 live in EU member states.
French President Emmanuel Macron had earlier ordered the mandatory vaccination of medical workers in the country.
The World Health Organization, for its part, said on July 15, 2021: that licensed vaccines are effective against all mutated strains of the Coronavirus, but stressed that the epidemic “is not over yet.”
The organization also warned against international travel, noting that local containment measures could be introduced again in the event of a repeat spread of the virus.
The Right Direction
According to France 24, the data of the World Health Organization indicates that the number of new infections decreased by 60 percent in one month, throughout the region that covers part of Central Asia.
It pointed out that it declined from 1.7 million in mid-April 2021, to 685,000 in the first week of July 2021.
"We are heading in the right direction, but we must remain vigilant," said Hans Kluge, director of the European branch of the World Health Organization.
"It is possible that increased mobility, physical interactions and gatherings will lead to an increase in transmission in Europe," he added.
He stressed the need for the lifting of social restrictions to coincide with increased efforts in conducting examinations, tracing and vaccination operations.
The article also quoted Kluge, saying: "There is no total lack of danger. Vaccines may be a light at the end of the tunnel, but this light should not blind us."
