Israel will pay tens of millions of dollars for the Russian vaccine - and will not use it
The Sputnik 5 vaccine will not be distributed in Israel, but will be purchased with the aim of strengthening relations with Moscow, especially in light of tensions in the Syrian sector.
Many experts object to the Russian vaccine, which does not need FDA approval or its Russian counterpart and no results have been published for its research.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a press conference last week following Moderna's announcement of the positive results of the corona vaccine trial.
He promised that Israel would be one of the first countries to receive the vaccine, talked about the agreement reached with Pfizer and also referred to the Russian vaccine - Sputnik 5. "My goal is to bring as many vaccines, from as many sources, to as many citizens as possible - and as quickly as possible," Netanyahu said after. Who mentioned his conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the subject.
It has since become known that Israel will also purchase millions of vaccines from Astraznica.
However, the Russian vaccine, for which Israel is expected to pay tens of millions of shekels, is not expected to be used in Israel.
From information that reached Walla!
NEWS indicates that the vaccine will be purchased for a "diplomatic" purpose, in order to strengthen relations between Israel and Russia, and will not be part of the stock of vaccines on which the Ministry of Health will rely to eradicate the epidemic.
Netanyahu wants to purchase the vaccine, among other things, in light of activity in the Syrian sector.
Israel's ability to operate in the region is conditional on obtaining a permit from President Putin, and Jerusalem does not want to harm an alliance with Russia - even at the cost of purchasing a vaccine worth tens of millions of dollars that will not be used.

The Russian vaccine was registered on August 11 by the country's Ministry of Health, and was the first vaccine against the corona virus in the world to be produced, registered and officially approved by the Ministry of Health.
Protests have developed in the international scientific community following the announcement of the vaccine registration in Russia, mainly because the results of his clinical studies have not been published and there is no evidence of safety, effective dosing, biological markers of immune response or efficacy against corona virus.

Many experts have reservations about the Russian vaccine, as it will not receive US FDA approval or its European counterpart, and has little oversight outside Russia.
On the other hand, at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where the trial for the Russian vaccine was conducted, it is claimed that it is safer than those of Pfizer and Moderna.
The hospital claims that the Russian vaccine is based on previous vaccines that have been shown to be effective, while in American companies the vaccine is based on a new technology that encodes and isolates the virus' domestication in the cell.

More than 50 countries around the world have expressed interest and made reservations for Sputnik 5, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and India.
The purchase of a Western country, which relies on the license of the US Food and Drug Administration, has not yet been announced.
The Prime Minister's Office did not respond.
