Russia & AstraZeneca: “Vaccine” Collusion

Riley Waggaman

Audio Version New Feature!

By April 2020, a third of the world’s population was living under medical martial law. But there was a light at the end of the tunnel: trusted pharmaceutical companies were developing “safe and effective” vaccines that would stop the spread of the dreaded virus and end the pandemic. Or so we were told.

The clock was ticking – and Big Pharma needed lots of money in order to expedite the creation of a miracle drug. In the United States, the Trump administration launched Operation Warp Speed, a lavishly funded program that aimed to accelerate the development and distribution of coronavirus elixirs.

At the same time, the Russian government poured resources into developing its own vaccine. Funding for the public health initiative came from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), the country’s sovereign wealth fund. In June 2020, RDIF announced a joint venture with R-Pharm, one of Russia’s largest pharmaceutical firms.

The duo would work together to produce and distribute a vaccine developed by the Russian health ministry’s Gamaleya Center.

The health ministry approved the vaccine after less than two months of testing, making Sputnik V the world’s first registered COVID shot. The drug’s catchy name was the brainchild of RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader (Class of 2009).

The Soros Foundation spotted Dmitriev’s potential at an early age, and awarded him a scholarship to study at Stanford University and later Harvard Business School. He worked for Goldman Sachs and McKinsey & Company before taking the reins at RDIF in 2011.

Dmitriev’s decision to include R-Pharm in RDIF’s investment portfolio was a shrewd move worthy of his Young Global Leader pedigree.

On July 17, 2020, AstraZeneca announced R-Pharm would become “one of the hubs for the production and supply of [its] vaccine to international markets.” Under the agreement, the British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant agreed to transfer its adenoviral vector to Russia. R-Pharm would then be tasked with “finishing” doses and shipping them abroad.

The company said in a press release:

AstraZeneca is confident that, together with R-Pharm, it will be able to supply millions of people with the vaccine in the most efficient way,”

In other words: by July 2020, the Russian government had positioned itself to profit from the production and distribution of two COVID vaccines: Sputnik V and AstraZeneca’s shot.

As vaccine-linked injuries and deaths continue to be documented around the world, some have portrayed Russia as a bulwark against Big Pharma’s murderous business model. As we will document below, nothing could be further from the truth.

The Illusion of Rivalry

On July 17, 2020, the Guardian reported the British government was “more than 95%” sure that Russian hackers had targeted UK, US and Canadian organizations involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine.

Curiously, on the exact same day, AstraZeneca revealed it had partnered with Russia’s R-Pharm.

Dmitriev dismissed the hacking allegations as ludicrous, pointing to the fact that stealing British vaccine secrets would be a waste of time because R-Pharm had already signed a deal with AstraZeneca to manufacture the company’s vaccine.

“Everything needed to produce the British vaccine has already been transferred to R-Pharm,” RDIF’s CEO said in response to the spurious hacking accusations. “AstraZeneca has already signed commitments to transfer all production of the British vaccine to R-Pharm.”

However, this partnership didn’t stop Dmitriev from taking swipes at AstraZeneca. When clinical trials for AstraZeneca’s shot hit a brief road bump in September 2020, RDIF’s director suggested the British vaccine was based on an “untested platform.” (Perhaps he was trying to deflect scrutiny of Sputnik V, which was also based on a totally unproven platform?)

Dmitriev’s doubts about the British-Swedish vax didn’t stop RDIF from pursuing closer business ties with AstraZeneca. On the contrary, in December, RDIF, AstraZeneca, the Gamaleya Center, and R-Pharm signed a memorandum of cooperation.

“Today we announce a clinical trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of the combination of AZD1222, developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, and Sputnik V, developed by Russian Gamaleya Center… Both AZD1222 and Sputnik V are adenoviral vector vaccines that contain genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein,” AstraZeneca said in a December 11 press release.

On December 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Russia’s partnership with AstraZeneca.

“I am absolutely convinced that such an attitude towards partnership today can serve as a good, convincing example of combining scientific forces, technologies, investments for a common goal – to protect the life, health and safety of millions of people on the planet as a whole,” Putin noted. Addressing AstraZeneca’s CEO, he added: “I want to wish you success not only in the Russian market, but also in global markets, and express the hope that the new year will be favorable for your company and for solving the problems that we are now talking about.”

Commenting on the partnership, Gamaleya’s director, Alexander Gintsburg, predicted a combination of Sputnik V and AstraZeneca would eventually be registered for use in Russia.

It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

True Friends Don’t Care About Blood Clots

RDIF wasted no time in pursuing its dream of creating a COVID-fighting cocktail from the two vaccines it was financially invested in. In February 2021, Azerbaijan agreed to host a clinical trial to test a combination of Sputnik V’s first component (“Sputnik Light”) and AstraZeneca’s shot. Dmitriev praised the study as an example of “international efforts” to defeat coronavirus.

Meanwhile, inconvenient “safety concerns” were popping up in the media. By mid-March, 20 European countries had temporarily suspended the use of AstraZeneca’s vaccine due to reports linking the drug to blood clots and internal bleeding.

Despite the worrying reports, RDIF did not abandon its Big Pharma pal.

On July 15, Sputnik V’s official Twitter account boasted RDIF was “the 1st to start joined [sp] trials with AstraZeneca in February and will be announcing more collaborations soon. We urge other vaccine producers to join forces with us for mix & match trials. This is the way to immunity for the global community!”

About a week later, Russia’s health ministry approved a Sputnik Light-AstraZeneca trial. Five Russian medical institutions participated in the study, which involved 150 subjects.

At the end of July, RDIF disclosed the preliminary results of the clinical trial held in Azerbaijan. A whopping 50 people were injected with the Sputnik V-AstraZeneca cocktail, which was determined to be safe and effective.

Preliminary data from a parallel study held in Argentina produced similarly promising results. The timing was perfect, because in August, the Argentinian government began administering AstraZeneca and Moderna shots to people who had received the first component of Sputnik V. Argentina said it was mixing the drugs due to supply shortages, but Dmitriev insisted this had been the plan all along.

“We suggested it, we always wanted to do a combo,” Dmitriev said at the time. “Sputnik is the first combined vaccine, the first mix and match, which consists of two different shots. We have said from the beginning that two different shots work better than two identical ones.”

The same month, data released by Argentina’s health authorities showed Sputnik V was causing far more post-vaccination complications than AstraZeneca’s vaccine.

Meanwhile, R-Pharm was making final preparations to begin mass production of both Sputnik V and the British-Swedish shot. In September, the Russian pharmaceutical company announced it had started manufacturing the AstraZeneca vaccine for export.

An Open Relationship

By late 2021, the big-brains behind Sputnik V were openly collaborating with Pfizer and Moderna.

“We already have a joint study with Moderna in Argentina, and Argentina is now investigating a combination of Sputnik and Moderna. There are also two other countries that are currently doing research on a combination of Pfizer and Sputnik, and we believe that this will be a very successful combination,” Dmitriev said in October.

Around the same time, Sputnik V’s official Twitter account gushed about the trial results of the Sputnik Light-Moderna combo.

The Gamaleya Center was also excited about these new clot-shot cocktails. In November, one of the scientists who developed Sputnik V, Dmitry Shcheblyakov, advocated for mixing the Russian vaccine with mRNA shots.

“We see that the combination of different vaccines made with different technologies only gives an advantage,” Shcheblyakov said.

According to RDIF, data from Pfizer-Sputnik trials will be available by the end of 2022.

True Friends Don’t Care About Sanctions

There was big news in February: the Azerbaijan study now had an impressive 100 participants, and the results were still extremely promising.

“Preliminary data from the combined use of Sputnik Light and AstraZeneca vaccines confirm the benefit of using different vaccines during revaccination. In the context of the emergence of new dangerous strains of coronavirus, it is this approach that can provide safe, effective and long-term protection,” Dmitriev said in a February 14 press release.

Notably, western sanctions introduced in response to the “special operation” in Ukraine have not put an end to Russia’s partnership with Big Pharma. Western drugmakers have maintained operations in the country, even as dozens of companies have pulled out of Russia.

On March 15, R-Pharm applied to register AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine in Russia.

Biosecurity Theater: A Global Reality

The fact that Russia’s cynical vaccine profiteering continues unabated, even after Moscow has been almost completely cut off from western financial systems and markets, reveals an uncomfortable reality: there is no escaping the depraved, anti-human biosecurity theater spawned by “the pandemic.”

The only question now is: which “bloc” will claim the right to torment and inject you?

It’s wonderful to have this information, as it answers a question I have been raising since the summer of 2020: what led to Russia’s (what seemed at the time) abrupt change of policy from a country that was, like Belarus, resisting the NATO-centric lockdowns and propaganda about a nebulous and news-hyped virus, into a country that was mirroring gradually more and more of the draconian “medical martial law” measures? This shift of policy, in the wrong direction, was hugey regrettable at the time, and still is, as it could have helped “the cause is humanity” issues (the late Mort Sahl bon mot, RIP) to have had Russia more in “our” corner, abstaining more from lockdowns and the rest, and tending toward giving mankind more of a break. But what Riley’s article brings out (and so much has “the ring of truth” which I will go on for now, lacking enough… Read more »

In the context of the emergence It’s a nightmare of a broken record… If Putin is our saviour from the cabal, we are in trouble indeed. But there is no comparison. The cabal must be removed at all costs. At the same time, the Russian government poured resources into developing its own vaccine. If any of us survive and a more sane culture appears one day in the future, they will be truly astounded at the extent of the idiocy and scamming that went on in the 21st century. Entire nations fooled into paying these parasites for frankenstein science. Their mixing of “vaccines” is blatantly frankenstein evil clown science. Fauci has the perfect evil clown face.

I mean the war is a strategically meaningless performance for our benefit aimed at creating the plausible excuse for shortages and other Great Reset paraphernalia that “covid” failed to be.

I don’t know what’s going on exactly or if they are really killing people or how much on-the-ground reality there is, but so far it looks like the answer to the last question is “not much”.

Someone compared it to 9/11 and the Twin Towers being brought down in part for insurance fraud. That makes sense. There’s a ton of abandoned, decaying infrastructure in Ukraine and a fortune to be made from insuring it and blowing it up and getting contracts to ‘rebuild’.

That would explain what someone else pointed out that so much of the ‘fighting’ seems to be in abandoned housing estates.

Covid, 9/11 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are all vastly complex, essentially criminal operations causing wanton destruction, death and poverty for the many and benefit for the few, but there are differences. Chronologically, 9/11 was obviously, as you imply, an inside job involving vast sums of money. Yes, they needed to cover up how trillions of dollars disappeared and subsequently make even more money in a problem, reaction, solution exercise. Nothing was as it seemed, it’s an insult to human intelligence that two civilian planes could bring down 7 WTC buildings, but the destruction and death (not only in NY) were very real, and the real perpetrators (largely members of the US establishment) appear to have gotten away with it. The culprits behind Covid are also largely but not exclusively American. It’s chiefly a product of the greedy and corrupt pharmaceutical industry, a variation on a theme (vide AIDS). It… Read more »

Come to think of it, war is pretty impossible to convincingly film. Not only because it’d be ludicrously dangerous, but much more importantly because it’d give vital military information away. Just because we get practically no pictures of heavy armour fighting, doesn’t mean it never happens. Still, even the most blatant propaganda shot may actually reveal some constantly relevant truth.

Once upon a time, war correspondents accompanied soldiers into the battlefields, as is the case with Mourir à Madrid (1963) about the Spanish Civil War. It contains real life war situations, with people falling on the ground, hit by bullets and other projectiles.

No internet, no cellphones, no satellites, just people filming on the ground, and I don’t think anyone in their either mind would doubt the authenticity of the clips.

There seems to exist a dialectical relationship between the advancement of means of communication and the level of suspicion in the “news” we get through them.

I noted that OffG’s twitter feed which links to the above article, i.e. the one which queries whether Russia is really against the covid scam, gets a response from one Cliff Treadway:

Russia can’t get a break.

Sneaky, eh? He’s saying, “Leave poor Russia alone! Look at all of that Western media kicking the Russians! And now OffG is too?”

… thus misinterpreting the article – probably deliberately, in order to redirect all argument back to the media sanctioned East vs West theatre.

I’ve little sympathy. If one believes a complete stranger has their best interests at heart then you are a imbecile at best.

This is a scab mentality. “I must do as my job requires”. You Sir, are the weak… Unfortunately, you are the majority.

However, the will of humanity will prevail. Why? Because it takes an amazing amount of resourses to prop up the bullshit.

Further, as the, “you will own nothing and be happy”. comes into play. Many will realise that owning nothing, gives them nothing to loose. When one has nothing to loose then it’s easy to defete those who are being paid shiny trinkets.

FWIW, I’m pleased, even though I’m not one of his cultish followers. I know him from loosely following The Duran, which also has a impassioned loyal following that makes me uncomfortable. I feel like, say, an old geezer in 1964 who becomes an early Beatles fan, but attends a concert and is appalled to find himself overwhelmed by shrieking hysterical Beatlemaniacs.

But I expect that the welcome news that Gonzalo is alive will trigger (and probably has triggered) the usual backlash of knowing and/or jeering “exposé” comments, cynically dismissing or trashing him as a fraud, fake, operative, etc.– or just a self-serving attention-seeker who staged his disappearance.

I was only a loose follower of The Duran in the past, but had a feeling they might have somewhat more realistic (if not totally objective) information from “on the ground” than some other commentators; I’m certainly not a “groupie”, but have appreciated Alex’s recent “walkaround” commentaries in downtown Nicosia on his own channel, where he’s shown a more human side that I never detected so much on the older “Duran” broadcasts.

I believe Gonzalo’s disappearance was genuine, but it sounds like we won’t get the full story until after “the war has ended”, whenever that might be, and whatever that will actually mean.

There is a longer video (audio only) with Alex, Alexander and Gonzalo, which I’m only half-way through, here:

FWIW, I too have become virtually addicted to Alex’s walkaround updates. I had the same reaction as you, i.e. that his solo daily outings reveal his personable and thoughtful character in a way that his work on the Duran hasn’t.

I’m also impressed by his technical ability to produce consistently high-quality videos; I wonder how long he practiced to develop the ability to walk, talk, and film himself seemingly effortlessly– as if a “steadicam” were following him.

The 1980s pop culture cliché “up close and personal” comes to mind. I feel like I’m sitting next to him, and often wish I could “beam over” to Athens or Nicosia to chat with him.

You will see below I’ve posted about discovering that Alex’s Duran partner Alexander was disbarred as a barrister (in 2012) after what sounded like a bizarre series of professional/legal misdeeds. It rather sounded like he’d had some kind of a breakdown. A rather said story really, and he seems to have done well to reinvent himself.

The Duran is a gatekeeper outfit that promoted the covid BS. The fact it has taken a side in this matter only shows that the gatekeepers are being detailed to support Russia on this in order to create an illusory binary. Mintpress News and Grayzone are in the same boat but higher profile.

The whole phony war is just a way of dividing the anti-lockdown movement, most of which are now supporting Russia and excusing its lockdown history. The likes of the Duran are keeping you busy with phony dramas and controversies while the real stuff gets done. The GR still happening, you just not noticing any more

I wasn’t aware of what they’d said about covid (probably just as well), and am sorry to hear it.

There may be some truth in your 2nd paragraph, but I don’t think it can be called a phony war now, at least not in the Donbas and eastern Ukraine generally.

Meanwhile, I just did a google search on “Alexander Mercouris” (to try to find some background on him), and this makes slightly disturbing reading:

No idea about the background to all this, but clearly, he is no longer a practising barrister, although I’ve heard him refer briefly to his legal background from time to time.

Really, WTF is it with Italy? They were first to apply the CCP lockdown policy and everything that followed, and now this. Not my idea of the Italian psyche at all (and I’ve known a few Italians). True they did allow Mussolini to come to power, but at least they did a better job of getting rid of him than the Germans did of getting rid of you-know-who.

And they are ruled by a technocrat instead of a democrat, but then their experience of supposed democratic leaders was nothing to write home about.

This would involve an outright naval intervention by NATO in the Black Sea — with the objective being to prevent Russia from seizing control of the strategically important city of Odesa. Perhaps upon commencement of this mission, Ellwood suggested, listless denizens of “The West” will finally come to appreciate the existential stakes of the conflict now before us, and “accept that we are actually in a 1938 period, but… Read more »

“The U.K. Is Dragging The U.S. Into WWIII In Ukraine”
That, of course, is a typical American angle from Jimmy Dore, whom I normally quite enjoy.
The US doesn’t ever want to be guilty of anything, and the UK doesn’t ever want to be the impotent partner, but nothing has changed.

Anyone who is paying attention knows that when it comes to the US/UK “Special Relationship”, it is always the US that does the dragging.
Can anyone seriously imagine the Pentagon listening to a word Boris Johnson has to say about anything at all…?

Johnson is Britain’s Zelensky. The place-holding bum on the appropriate seat while – and only while – a use is found for it.

Israel’s central bank will add Chinese yuan while slashing its dollar and euro holdings in a move to diversify its reserve allocations and lengthen its investment horizon. In addition to the yuan, the bank will also add the Canadian and Australian dollars. Previously, the bank only held US dollars, euros, and the British pound.

But now, with so many nurses being drummed out because they refuse the jab, there suddenly is a shortage.

There may also be a minor element of PR involved. The presence of a WEF CEO is not surprising, the real question is whether the security state is keeping tabs on them or whether they are getting a free rein.

Why the”good” humans don’t stop the “bad” humans? Because we’re not really good and bad in the absolute sense of both words. There is a continuum that goes from “them” to “us” (excluding the so-called primitive societies and those surviving completely outside the system). The only difference is of degree – thus no difference at all – and there is no point between the two ends where you can confidently say: “here ends the bad and starts the good”.

And so “stopping them” would imply also stopping us from whatever everyone on of us is doing within the system, and I’m not sure we’re there yet.

We may define that spirit as the tacitly agreed upon social and economic relations prevailing in modern societies. We could also think of that power as if it were a instrument: there’s only one way to correctly use a spoon for instance, otherwise it doesn’t fully deliver what is intended to deliver.

I always knew the conspiracy was being organised from Tulsa.

What a brilliant summation of the coming New World Order. In fact the NWO has already established its massive footprint and announced the pathway to complete totalitarianism. There has been a whole literature and exposure to the eugenicist. Where to begin, perhaps with we a work of Yevgeny Zamyatin first published in 1924 with other authors, including George Orwell, 1984, Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon, H.G.Wells, The Time Machine, in fact a whole compendium of the anti-human literature. And not forgetting Jack London The Iron Heel.

Zamyatin’s, OneState is not exclusively to blamed on American capitalism, or Russian communism, or Italian Fascism, the industrial lords of Liverpool and Manchester. It is a fate toward which a thoughtless humanity is hurtling.

Have you actually read any George Orwell?

This is great and she really is as you describe… shame about the terible audio quality of the video!
One day I hope to get round to unpacking my understanding of the cabal and put it in writing… They have traits that are more reptilian and insectoid than human and they can be identified, like she is doing here. They repeat the same slogans, and they need everything archived, codified, measured, digitised, etc. It’s a type of psychopathy and mental illness on the surface, and actually demonic possession as I see it.

Sorry for the off-topic, but I think several here will be interested in another update from Alex (Duran) Christoforou in which he gives convincing-sounding evidence that the EU will manage to “shoehorn” Ukraine into the EU, come what may.

Also another “clown world” item in which Germany & the Netherlands tear up their green energy policy in favour of drilling for gas in a UNESCO World Heritage site. All to give Putin one in the eye.

Hard to claim only Russia is being a parasite peddling junk, the UK and Pfizer and the US based Moderna are all in on the act. Singling out Russia is frankly stupid

They are not singling out Russia.

People have no illusions about the other entities you mention. That’s the difference.

The piece illustrates that it’s all the same cabal.

The only question now is: which “bloc” will claim the right to torment and inject you?”
Thank you! If I get to choose, you’ve made it much easier than I ever dreamed.

Down with a system that can only function in problem-solving mode; a system that needs crises, destructions, poverty, deaths, debt, diseases and wars to thrive and justify the gigantic apparatus that it is made of!

Good to see Riley Waggaman’s work start to make it back into these pages again, after a few months. He is in Russia, and provides a very balanced account, critically taking on both allegedly rival blocs within the global order, which are both implementing the Great Reset’s essential aspects, even if in slightly different forms, content is far more important than form.
