European Union Report: Russia’s Disinformation on Vaccines Has Caused Its Deadliest Covid-19 Spike

A European Union report released today blames an effective disinformation campaign (i.e. lies, half-truths and misleading statements) by the Russian Federation, led by ex-Soviet intelligence officer Vladimir Putin, for Russia’s current deadliest spike of Coronavirus cases. As I have posted previously, the Kremlin has been creating doubts among Europeans and Americans about the safety and effectiveness of Western Covid-19 vaccines, despite their proven safety and efficacy, in order to weaken the West and to promote a Russian vaccine as an alternative. Putin’s regime has promoted the anti-vaccine movement, which includes the far left and the far right, in a kind of biological warfare, which I have noted has led to outbreaks in Western Europe and America of measles and other easily preventable contagious diseases, because Russian disinformation has been as affective in this regard as it has been in political interference in Europe and America. However, Russia is being hoist by its own petard as the disinformation has spread to the Russian people who have resisted vaccination, even with the Russian vaccine, at a greater rate than in the West.
