The Russian Embassy in Lithuania on its page in Twitter responded to the words of Prime Minister Ingrid Simonyte about Russian vaccine against coronavirus “Sputnik V”.
Shimonyte’s statement was called biased. According to diplomats, a wave of disinformation accompanies the Russian vaccine at all stages of its creation. However, the drug’s performance, “internationally recognized, speaks for itself.”
“The main thing is that mass vaccination is already underway in Russia. And in Lithuania?” – noted the embassy.
Earlier, Shimonyte said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is offering the vaccine to the world “as a hybrid weapon to spread its influence.”
In January, it was reported that 79 doctors of the Vilnius clinic “Santara”, vaccinated with BioNTech and Pfizer vaccines, were diagnosed with coronavirus. And in the hospital in Marijampole, the patient was accidentally injected with five doses of the vaccine.
