Yes, Sputnik V is a genetic vaccine: there are many zany tales on the internet about how Sputnik V is an "old-fashioned" vaccine based on a proven platform. This is simply not true. In November 2021, Russia's health minister Mikhail Murashko said Sputnik V uses "genetic technologies." A patent application from 2012 for Gamaleya’s influenza shot (which used the same Ad5 adenovirus vector as Sputnik V, and was never approved for use) described the drug as a “genetic vaccine.” Is Sputnik V safe, even though it's based on an unproven genetic platform? There is a large body of evidence that suggests: no, not at all. But it's hard to say for sure because Russia has no VAERS-like system for reporting/viewing post-vaccination complications. Russia's health ministry won't even disclose the most recent clinical trial data for Sputnik V, declaring this information a "confidential trade secret." Safe & effective 💉🤝

Food Chain Reaction: A Global Food Security Game (2015) SIMULATION

In November 2015, sixty-five international public and private sectors leaders participated in Food Chain Reaction, a simulation and role-playing exercise to improve our understanding of how governments, institutions, and private sector interests might interact to address a crisis in the global food system.

Over the course of two days, the players reacted to a scenario set five years in the future in a world where population growth, rapid urbanization, extreme weather and political crises combine to threaten global food security. By collaborating, negotiating, and confronting tradeoffs, they offered new insights into our food future.

Findings from game will be announced in January 2016.

Food Chain Reaction was produced by World Wildlife Fund and the Center for American Progress, with game design from CNA. Funding and technical support for Food Chain Reaction was provided by Cargill with major support from Mars, Inc.
