AstraZeneca vaccine is not registered in the US, neither is the Russian nor the Chinese, because they (in the US) have a political problem with the vaccine, thus lowering the confidence in vaccines in general.
It is the political war [in the US] that is letting us raise more doubts about the vaccines.
An unfounded claim related to the vaccination efforts in the United States.
AstraZeneca's vaccine is still missing from the US vaccine arsenal, but that doesn’t mean that Washington is waging a political war against it nor against other vaccines coming from different countries.
The difference comes down to how the US Food and Drug Administration independently scrutinises vaccines, doing their own scientific review of a company's safety and efficacy data, before any new shot is allowed to be put on the market.
In the US, there's even an independent advisory committee, which reviews data sets from both the FDA and drug companies, before the agency makes its final decision on whether to greenlight a new shot.
Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert noted that the US government was working with different companies on six vaccine candidates, adding that AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are going to be getting their data together and showing it to the [Food and Drug Administration], which means the approval is likely "weeks away".
The vaccine hesitancy in the US is a major issue. President Joe Biden announced three major steps to improve the country’s vaccination plans, less than a week after taking office, which includes launching a national public education campaign, “that addresses vaccine hesitancy and is tailored to meet the needs of local communities.”
See more cases in our database that claim that the Ebola vaccine was developed in Russia; or that vaccines may have led to the beginning of the pandemic and could alter our DNA; or that Pfizer directors sold their shares alarmed over vaccine’s deaths; or that AstraZeneca vaccine was born thanks to Russia; or that COVID-19 is a multi-purpose biological weapon.
A demonstrative appearance at the trial of opposition leader Alexei Navalny by European and American diplomats. Clear dissatisfaction of the head of the EU diplomacy Josep Borrell with the results of his visit to Moscow…
These events show that the European Union wants to radically change our country. Probably, in his dreams, an exemplary Russia should be an obedient semi-colony, to which the EU will dictate not only foreign policy, but also domestic life.
A recurrent narrative on aggressive anti-Russian Western ambitions. The EU, its member states and most of the world community demand that Russia fulfils its obligations as a member of the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE and other international organisations, as well as Russia's own legislation.
Court hearings are, as a rule, open to the public. Diplomats have the right, just as any other member of the public, to attend a court hearing.
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that it had taken measures to expel diplomats from Germany, Sweden and Poland from the country, after their participation in protests unauthorised by the local authorities.
The claim advances a pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative concerning the ongoing protests in support of jailed opposition activist Alexei Navalny.
It is debatable whether any of the three expelled individuals actually participated in the demonstrations. The foreign ministries of Poland, Sweden, and Germany have all confirmed that they were observing the protests in accordance with their diplomatic duties. According to the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, these duties include "[a]scertaining by all lawful means conditions and developments in the receiving State, and reporting thereon to the Government of the sending State" (Article 3(d)).
Small Baltic states could begin the big war. If the Baltic states will be involved in Multi-Domain Operation (MDO) warfare, it would increase the risk of war in the region.
The Baltic states are in Russia’s neighbourhood. Their territories could be used for intelligence purposes, electronic warfare and radiolocation.
The nature of MDO operations is offensive. The mistake in an offensive MDO operation (of the US forces in Europe) in the Baltics could cause real armed conflict.
Recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative, challenging the US presence in Europe. Also presenting Baltic states as an outpost against Russia.
The conception of MDO is still developing. The US Army’s Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) describe it as follows:
