Scores of Russia’s business and political elite have been given early access to an experimental vaccine against Covid-19, according to people familiar with the effort, as the country races to be among the first to develop an inoculation.

Top executives at companies including aluminum giant United Co. Rusal, as well as billionaire tycoons and government officials began getting shots developed by the state-run Gamaleya Institute in Moscow as early as April, the people said. They declined to be identified as the information isn’t public.

The Gamaleya vaccine, financed by the state-run Russian Direct Investment Fund and backed by the Defense Ministry, last week completed a phase 1 trial involving military personnel. The institute hasn’t published results for the study, which involved about 40 people, but has begun the next stage of testing with a larger group.

Travelling to the United States is likely not on the list of things to do this summer for many Canadians. In fact, a recent Ipsos poll found 93 per cent of Canadians believed travelling to the U.S. this summer would be too risky.

The way some U.S. officials have handled the novel coronavirus pandemic, including reopening the economy when the number of cases continues to rise, has health experts and casual observers worried about what might happen if Canada were to reopen its border too soon.

But for truckers, who are exempt from Canada’s 14-day isolation rules and whose livelihoods often depend upon making back-and-forth journeys between the two countries — transporting everything from raw materials to a huge chunk of Canada’s food supply — crossing the border isn’t something they can necessarily refuse.

Yet some drivers are doing just that. Worried they could catch the virus and then transmit it to family members and others once back in Canada, they’re turning down work in the U.S. in favour of staying closer to home.

“I just don’t trust them,” said Dan Carson, a truck driver from southern Ontario who refuses to work in the U.S.

I think that's the stupidest tweet he ever wrote without spelling errors. He's looking like a fool by backpedaling on a position he's fiercely maintained, throws in a (confusing) xenophobic dig to try to distract, and gets the flow of it all weirdly disjointed by trying to remember to mention that it's also important to social distance and to consider him your favorite president.

It honestly breaks my heart to think of all the people who voted for him in 2016 that are now left with this tweet as the whittled down fig leaf of a defense for how they didn't just make all the wrong decisions in that voting booth.

That's the same amount they fined for failing to have your certification to circulate in public during the lockdown. Maybe they repurposed some decree or not confusing citizens.

It's a solid legal argument that the government shouldn't have the power to put something in your body against your will. If nothing else in this world, you own the rights to your own body.

There's a reason why it's called public health. If the government has a realistic expectation of a person not being vaccinated can create a health hazard, then yes they should restrict your ability to interact with the public. This is why schools say students have to be vaccinated before enrolling.

You think a virus cares about body autonomy? Just get the fucking vaccine.

I read some analysis on the virus in India which sounded pretty familiar: they had a 2 month lockdown but didn't use the time to get a system set in place for sufficient testing, test & trace, centralized quarantine, etc.

On top of that you have to imagine a poor, densely populated country has all sorts of hurdles in terms of how people live and work, besides a general lack of resources. No way they could shift as much of their economy to WFH as the US did, for example.
