OREANDA-NEWS. Since April, the political and business elite of Russia has had access to an experimental vaccine from the N. F. Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Epidemiology. This was reported by sources of Bloomberg news agency. Journalists’ interlocutors claim that hundreds of people were involved in the vaccination process.

Bloomberg managed to find confirmation of this from dozens of people, but the agency does not disclose their names. One of the top managers said that he had no side effects. He decided to get vaccinated in order to live a normal life and take part in business meetings. Some participants in the experiment told the agency that they had high fever and muscle pain. Others said that they refused of vaccination because the medicine was not confirmed to be safe.

Bloomberg claims that the companies Rusal and Phosagro had access to the vaccine, but they declined to comment. The agency failed to contact the Gamaleya Center. Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov did not respond to a text message asking if President Vladimir Putin or someone from the Kremlin administration had been vaccinated. The government also failed to promptly comment on the information.
