Alexey Chumakov, a researcher who works at an institute in Moscow named after his famous virologist father, says the Ministry of Health doesn’t seek input from the Russian scientific community the way FDA does. “It’s not a structure that has any feedbacks or internal coherence,” Chumakov says. “They might have a good result and it may show that it works—that’s among the best outcomes—but I’m thinking there’s probably like a 20% chance [the vaccine] will make things worse.” He also says regulations in Russia are easily bent. “As a very old and classic saying goes: ‘The strictness of Russian laws is compensated by the fact that it’s not necessary to follow them.’”
Chumakov says the Russian scientific community also has a shrinking community of virologists who could weigh in on a COVID-19 vaccine decision. “There’s so little science left in Russia after the last 30 years that not many people are eager to say anything against the trend,” says Chumakov, who worked on cancer research in the United States for more than 2 decades.
Chumakov notes that “it’s very easy to make a vaccine” and very difficult to properly test it and show that it works. “This is really a gamble and I don’t know how this can be decided in advance.
