Mr Putin did not give any name for the
vaccine, nor did he say how it worked, who was developing it or give
details of any trials.
He said “corresponding tests” had revealed the new drug to be “more effective” than any of the many trial-led since the outbreak of the deadly haemorrhagic fever two years ago.
“We have good news,” Mr Putin was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti news
agency. “We have registered a drug against Ebola, which after the
corresponding tests has been shown to be highly effective, more
effective than the drugs used worldwide up to now.”
Experts working on other vaccine trials poured scorn on his claim,
saying the Russian drug was in the early stages of testing. They
described his claim of superiority as “mind-boggling”.
