Russian internet troll factories have been blamed for an anti-Pfizer Covid jab smear campaign by a new report from a research institute. The Network Contagion Research Institute's paper says the aim of the misinformation drive is to promote the country's own Sputnik V vaccine. This is due to them believing those countries are seen as potential export markets for Sputnik. AdvertisementNovetta found that the Russian vaccine had the “second-highest rate of positive quotes (66 percent) in African media coverage” and the “the second-lowest negative perception (11 percent)". So I chose to be vaccinated with Sputnik V. The military is getting vaccinated with Sputnik V, and after all I'm the commander-in-chief,' he said.
