The European Medicine Agency (EMA) does not have comments to the effectiveness of the Russian vaccine from coronavirus “satellite V”. This was told by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, reports TASS.
He also stated that West countries unreasonably criticize drugs from COVID-19 produced in Russia.
Earlier, the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Lyien stated that the European pharmaceutical regulator had not yet collected a sufficient number of “convincing data” to give a positive rating “satellite V”. According to her, this situation raises questions, since the application from the Russian side for registration of vaccine in Europe has been filed for a long time.
On July 13, the head of the Russian Fund of Direct Investments (RFI) Kirill Dmitriev said that EMA had responded to the quality of clinical data provided by the developers of the Russian vaccine. The protrusted approval process of the “satellite V” he called part of the drug discrediting campaign.
