The results of a poll on Telegraf's Serbian language portal show that as many as 70.66 percent of readers would rather receive the Russian vaccine against coronavirus, compared to 29.34 percent who would get that produced by Pfizer.

More than 2,600 people took part in the poll, a majority of whom clearly chose Russia's Sputnik V vaccine, and thus confirmed that the choice of vaccine is again comes down to a choice between the East and the West.

However, we should not ignore a good portion of the readers who do not want to receive either vaccine, and who were "the loudest" in the comments.

"They haven't been able to create a vaccine against AIDS and cancer for so many years, yet they put this one together in a just few months. I will not received it, nor will the majority - but what should we do if we are conditioned concerning the children?," Slavica wondered.

A certain Slavisa pointed out that he does not want to receive any vaccine, but still thinks that the Russian one is better.

"If I have to, I would choose the Russian. I know a man who received it experimentally and had no side effects, he recovered in three days."

There were also those who were not even sure what this vaccine is really for.

"If the virus has mutated 24 times so far, why the vaccine?"

However, it's not like none of the commenters wanted to receive it.

"Well, I'd take this by Pfizer. If Viagra that they produce has helped many, this certainly works," was the opinion of one Sasa.

"If it means they'll reopen the taverns, I accept both!," said a certain Zeljko.

"The Russian, they have good medicines, I know from experience," Dragica pointed out.

"If that will be a condition for me to be able to travel and visit my old mother, I accept both!," says Kaja.

And, of course, we couldn't do without conspiracy theorists.

"Neither, of course. Vaccines may have been used for immunization 50 years ago, now they are biological weapons... It can have a label reading Pfizer or Sputnik, but maybe it is the Chinese one with someone else's labels," warned another Telegraf commentator.
