) due to the fact that everything is proven there, and the pandemic is coming, and the placebo is not good at all," RIA Novosti quotes him ...

"I would now identify those who received a placebo and vaccinated, but whether this will allow the regulation, it is not yet clear," added Gunzburg.
He said that many of the volunteers who, according to the test results, found out that they had received a placebo, decided to be vaccinated with the real drug.

The Sputnik V vaccine has also shown 100% protection against severe coronavirus.
In October Gunzburg noted that the participants in the Sputnik V vaccine trials did not know whether they were being administered a vaccine or a placebo.
