It combines three propaganda narratives in one:

  1. The further demonisation of an “enemy”. Russia is portrayed as pursuing “selfish interests with reckless behaviour”, whilst we (and our allies) are “getting on with the hard work of finding a vaccine and protecting global health.”

  2. Promoting the vaccine. The vaccine is coming. It will likely be mandatory, it will certainly have been insufficiently tested, if tested at all. They need some pro-vaccine advertising, and nothing sells better than “our vaccine is so good, people are trying to steal it”.

  3. Most importantly – Enhancing the idea that Sars-Cov-2 is a unique global threat which puts us all in danger. The unspoken assumption is that Russia needs to steal our research because the virus is so dangerous we all need to be afraid of it…despite it beingharmless to the vast majority of people.

I would add a 4th point: Science on health should be open, not a top secret. Science on health should help other people against diseases and not be based on profits. And we want to know when there is a problem with a medicine or vaccine.

Blind faith in corporate-controlled privatized scientism is not proper science, which we now need to call open-science, that can be universally validated and proven and/or questioned and/or built upon.
