share messenger tweet email whatsapp reddit  august 15, 2020  moscow, russia  conflicting conspiracy file ??  update:  snopes and a variety of other fact checkers attacked the claims made in this article. it is important to note, despite labelling the claim as false, none of the fact-checking websites actually disproved the claim that putin’s daughter died after her second dose of sputnik v.  it is important to note putin’s daughter has not made a public appearance since the claim was made. further evidence is needed to completely debunk the original claim. once she is seen in public, and the video can be independently verified, it can be said the original claim was inaccurate.  until then, this file has been updated to “conflicting”.  original article:  vladimir putin’s daughter suffered unexpected side effects to the experimental russian covid vaccine, and has passed away in moscow. the kremlin has yet to make a statement on her death. a source within russia’s inner circle stated that putin’s daughter – katerina tikhonova – suffered a rise in temperature shortly after her second injection, and then suffered a seizure. doctors were not able to reverse the side-effects of the vaccine, and she was pronounced dead late yesterday evening.  the russian vaccine is named sputnik v, after the first artificial satellite, launched into space by the russians in 1957. it is also noteworthy that sputnik is the name of russia’s international news station, which has been accused of being a propaganda wing of the kremlin.  russian vaccine 'sputnik v' may be a new chernobyl. — el come callao' @panzenu august 15, 2020  prior to katerina’s death, russian doctor sergei tsarenko stated that releasing the vaccine early was the better out of 2 options. in his opinion, it was better just to move ahead, as opposed to letting people die.  however, western doctors were fearful of russia bypassing stage 3 trials and rushing the drug to market, warning it could have devastating effects.  abram l. wagner, professor of epidemiology at the university of michigan had this to say on a rushed covid-19 vaccine.  although it would be wonderful to get a vaccine into the population quickly, there could be substantial downsides if researchers and manufacturers cut corners. imagine a vaccine that often had serious side effects that weren’t caught in small trials before it was widely administered. source: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/russia-is-cutting-corners-on-covid-19-vaccine-clinical-trials-heres-why-they-matter  now it appears, katerina tikhonova is the first official fatality of the russian covid-19 vaccine. proving that sputnik v was not safe, and skipping stage 3 trials was a misguided move on the kremlin’s part.  the kremlin is known to spread disinformation, so it is likely it will lie about putin’s daughter’s death, or else blame her death on something other than the vaccine.  *disclaimer: this article has been labelled as a conspiracy file,  and does not necessarily reflect the views of toronto today.  like what you read? share this article on reddit and spread some truth.
