DISINFO: US tests COVID-19 vaccine on active servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
SUMMARY
Recently, the results of tests of a new American vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, which were conducted by American virologists on the territory of one of the medical institutions of the Kharkiv region, became public. Fifteen candidates, including ten members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine infected with coronavirus, were taking part in the practical trials of the drug and vaccine. As a result, five “test subjects”, four of whom were active servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, died.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory, one of many pro-Kremlin narratives concerning the coronavirus pandemic. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has refuted the claim. It stated that no foreign medical specialists had visited Ukraine’s military in recent months. All soldiers who are ill with the coronavirus are treated exclusively in military hospitals and not in any Kharkiv dispensary. Potential vaccines against COVID-19 are developed by laboratories all around the world. The results of the tests are available to the public. You can see where the vaccine is tested and what the results are here.
