Nice, but not quite the right pattern and prosidy for the **[Russian Reversal meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Soviet_Russia)**. More correctly: > In America, you get vaccine. In Soviet Russia, vaccine gets you. 😉 ---

I think those reports were mistaken, but I’m not completely sure, also there are some reports that the second dose may contain insuficiently sterilized adenoviruses, which may be more reliable 😮 Argentina’s equivalent of the FDA approved it and they are generally reliable, so I’m trusting them on this issue. I’ll let you know if I turn into a fly or get superpowers. (or if it just doesn’t work ☹ ) ---
