At this critical time of COVID-19 pandemic when scientists in the world over are working overtime day and night to develop the most effective vaccines for the COVID-19 at the earliest, it is difficult to understand why some scientists seem so very cynical when Russia's claims to have successfully fast tracked its effort and developed its 'Sputnik V' vaccine which is reportedly ready now. Of course, all the mandated vaccine trial processes and other protocols would have to be necessarily gone through, like any other nation, by the Russians too before getting final approval by WHO. This is also the crucial time when the scientific community needs to come together to destroy a deadly virus which has now become a big threat to humanity itself.
