DISINFO: Vaccines are used as a political weapon by the west in a hybrid war against Russia

SUMMARY

The C-virus has become a weapon in the hybrid war, a war which turned into a second cold war. At least the political leaders of Western countries had the ability to negotiate, or at least be on talking terms with the communist world. Nowadays it seems, especially from EU countries, bad rhethoric is heard in their media outlets. Also a special site has been developed, the so-called EU disinformation website, where allegedly ‘fake-news‘ is fact-checked. If you look at the site, it's all about Russia. Real leaders should be more concerned about the lives or their citizens, an experimental vaccine should not be promoted in the way they do it now. They turned vaccines into capitalism and brought the companies who produce them on the stock markets, which is an awful thing to do, exploiting health for the profit of the few (richest) in the Western world! Russia‘s Sputnik V is not (yet) available in the EU and currently not recognized as such. People who want to vaccinate and get Sputnik V are not eligible for the ‘green pass‘. Vaccines are used as a weapon of terror to scare the hell out of its own EU citizens by mind control propaganda and used in the hybrid war against Russia so we can also call it a politized weapon!

RESPONSE

An unfounded, recurrent narrative on Western countries' aggression against Russia and the use of the pandemic as a leverage for influence. Neither claim is supported by any evidence. Both frequently appear in the EUvsDisinfo database on disinformation; examples here and here.

EU and the US has at several occasions invited Russia to cooperation and dialogue, something the Russian authorities refuse.
