This is a reckless and foolish decision. Mass vaccination with an improperly tested vaccine is unethical. Any problem with the Russian vaccination campaign would be disastrous, both through its negative effects on health, but also because it would further set back the acceptance of vaccines in the population.
WHO recommends that successful vaccines should show an estimated risk reduction of at least one-half, with sufficient precision to conclude that the true vaccine efficacy is greater than 30%. This means that the 95% CI for the trial result should exclude efficacy less than 30%. Current US Food and Drug Administration guidance includes this lower limit of 30% as a criterion for vaccine licensure.

Viral vector vaccines confer high gene transduction capabilities due to the natural ability of viruses to infect host cells. These vaccines do not require adjuvants due to the presence of viral components that stimulate the innate immune system.

On the 8th of April Dennik N published an article by Veronika Folentová entitled "Čo píše v stanovisku štátny ústav o Sputniku? Vakcíny v rôznych krajinách spája len názov" dennikn.sk/2343450/co-pise-v-stanovisku-statny-ustav-o-sputniku-vakciny-v-roznych-krajinach-spaja-len-nazov/
The article referred to the number of incorrect and misleading statements made by the Slovak regulator – State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL), which used for incorrect testing not EU-certified laboratory. RDIF and the Gamaleya Institute repeatedly insisted that all these statements were false and incorrect and rejected the Slovak allegations as "fake news".
<...>
We are concerned that your article in its current form contains unsubstantiated and false statements made by SUKL earlier and now refuted by the certified lab.
<...>
Therefore, we ask you to either remove the article entirely or reflect our position by publishing the above mentioned comments in full by the end of the day on May 9, 2021, as it is absolutely critical for us and shows the reality of the situation as well as reflects the enormous efforts by RDIF and partners in fighting the pandemic. Otherwise, RDIF reserves all rights to protect its reputation and legitimate interests and be compensated for any caused harm, including by commencing court proceedings against Dennik N in any relevant jurisdiction.
