COVID SPYGATE: UK newspaper claims Russian agents STOLE vaccine blueprint
According to a report in the Sun newspaper, a Russian spy stole crucial information about the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to help create the Sputnik-V version, and UK ministers have reportedly been handed evidence.
Although Security Minister Damian Hinds declined to confirm the speculation to LBC, he added that we face threats of this type that are different, they are more sophisticated, they are more extensive than they ever have been before… These are very serious matters.”
Kremlin spox Dmitry Peskov rubbished the claims, stating: “The Sun is a very well-known deeply unscientific newspaper. Well, we probably treat its publications as similarly unscientific”.
