It was the EMA that used the term "Russian Roulette" - not Jordan or Catweasle.....

It was in your link...

The great EU now upset Russia.

"EU embroiled in fresh vaccine row - this time with Russia - after medical regulator warned using its Sputnik V jab is 'like playing Russian roulette'"

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9341605/E...

Any connection between the DM story and reality is pure coincidence. But frothers have to froth.

What am I missing?

DM headline maybe?

EU embroiled in fresh vaccine row - this time with Russia

The France 24 story is clear there is no row between the EU and Russia. Indeed, the Sputnik vaccine has been approved by several EU counties and data is being reviewed by the EU agency. This is a discussion between the head of the Austrian agency, who happens to also be chair of the EU agency, as to whether Austria should go it alone or rely on a common approach. But that would be a boring story when the DM can get frothers frothing.

The only person I see frothing is you.

eta the France 24 headline "EU medical official warns of Sputnik jab 'Russian roulette'"... doesn't say anything about Austria until you read down further so they no different headline than the DM then.

The original link from the DM claimed the EU was having a row with Russian. My link suggests the chairman of the EMA used the term when referring to her counties government as it was considing approving the vaccination.

Since the term Russian roulette has nothing to do with Russia and the comments was directed at the Austrian government.

I would suggest the DM story is a load of bull. But frothers have to froth.

You do realise that the Sputnik vaccine is Russian though, right?

And that he was saying that using it is like Russian Roulette, right? Thereby claiming it is dangerous.

Are you following so far? Feel free to read the above again if not, I'll wait.

OK, good.

Now, let's add two and two together. We have an EU official involved with the EMA vaccine approval saying that the Russian vaccine could be dangerous.

Do you think that could upset the Russians, not use of the phrase "Russian Roulette"?

Take your time.

EMA:
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a decentralised agency of the European Union (EU) responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicines in the EU.



Christa Wirthumer-Hoche, the head of EMA’s management board, told a talk show on Austrian broadcaster ORF on March 7 that she advised European Union countries against granting Sputnik V a national emergency authorisation while EMA was still reviewing the Russian vaccine’s safety and effectiveness.

“We demand a public apology from EMA’s Christa Wirthumer-Hoche for her negative comments on EU states directly approving Sputnik V,” the vaccine developers wrote on the official Sputnik V Twitter account.

“Her comments raise serious questions about possible political interference in the ongoing EMA review,” they said.

The developers added that the vaccine had already been approved by 46 countries.

“After postponing Sputnik V review for months, EMA does not have the right to undermine (the) credibility of 46 other regulators that reviewed all of the necessary data,” Sputnik V’s developers said.

Sputnik V has already been approved or is being assessed for approval in three EU member states - Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. EU officials have said Brussels could start negotiations with a vaccine maker if at least four member countries request it.

I would suggest what you claim to be bull differs to what many would agree was far from bull, which comes as little surprise.

Why would you say that though? The Wikipedia link shows Russia as being the place of origin for the practice.

The term seems to have first used by a Swiss in a novel about Russian officers in Rumania (sic).

So not really a real link.

From YOUR Wiki link - Origin:
"According to Andrew Clarke, the first trace of Russian roulette can be found in the story "The Fatalist" of 1840, part of the collection A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov, a Russian poet and writer."

FFS, really, on the one hand arguing about who invented the term Russian Roulette.

On the other hand von der Leyen announces there will be further blocks of vaccine exports. Move against Australia not a one off apparently.

Emergency aid about to be shipped to Brussels to get help dig UvdL out of the hole.



Ooops sorry, need to clean the soil off.

Let me see if I understand this......

A story about Russian military officers, and things they do has nothing to do with Russia.

Nothing at all.

Completely unrelated.

Is that what you are saying?

And you are claiming to be more intelligent than someone else, based on that position?


Just to be clear, the Swiss that apparently wrote the Novel. Where was he/she when they did so?

I don't think it matters how many times you post it MrrT...it doesn't get any better Best to just let it go. Take it on the chin.

Otherwise you're playing Russian roulette with posters on here

Either way it's just effing hilarious.

Just had a message at PH reception from Central Couriers, the collection ordered to pick up someone's credibility has left empty handed as it turned out nothing was available to be collected.
