Developers of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine against the novel coronavirus have demanded an apology from Chair of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Management Board Christa Wirthumer-Hoche for comparing the possibility of approving the emergency use of the vaccine with a ‘Russian roulette.’ We demand a public apology from EMA’s Christa Wirthumer-Hoche for her negative comments on EU states directly approving Sputnik V. Her comments raise serious questions about possible political interference in the ongoing EMA review. Sputnik V is approved by 46 nations, reads a post on the vaccine’s official Twitter account. EMA did not allow such statements about any other vaccine. Such comments are inappropriate and undermine credibility of EMA and its review process. Vaccines and EMA should be above and beyond politics, it says.
