Russia's (and China's) vaccine - those regime's have an edge that the west doesn't (and I am not saying this is something we want to mirror. this is just an observation).

China had a very early vaccine it gave only to the military.
They are now testing a public one.

How could they get there so quick. Easy - they tell people from the military (and maybe even "camps" of people - no evidence of this, but you could see them doing it based on reported past events) and just inject them with drug candidates, and then just inject them with the virus.

They (the military) might even see it as a national security issue. I believe they would not want a situation where an entire aircraft carrier's crew is sick. They might even see that solders doing this sort of testing, would be similar to getting in harms way for their countries.

Also, mis information is also a weapon (the art of war is apparently just as much the art of deception).

Who knows. Just some late night ramblings (and I don't want western solders doing this.).
