The coronavirus vaccine, which was developed by scientists at Oxford University in Britain, has been subjected to a fierce smear campaign from Russia claiming that the Oxford vaccine will turn people into monkeys.
The campaign also portrayed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a big man turned into a chimpanzee, Daily Mail reported.
On his part, Johnson attacked the fierce campaign and said it aims to spread fear about the vaccine with ridiculous claims that it will turn people into apes because it uses a chimpanzee virus.
The campaign has the potential to damage the Oxford programme by appealing to anti-vaccine fanatics.
