@deanhills He basically meant that it would promote competition among nations to promote research and produce their own vaccine. Practically, it'll take months and maybe close to a year to get the discovered vaccine into circulation and get it to every common citizen.
On the other hand, if nations start making their own vaccines it'll be really beneficial economically as it'll balance the otherwise workload in circulation of the vaccine.
And probably, in this competition among nations, a medicine (not vaccine) may also come up which will help humanity get rid of this virus - if not completely still helping the people already infected.
But again you're right, Russia hurried the production of this vaccine while skipping through test phases and it's really alarming. Neither am I gonna use it even if offered for free.
