>> RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN EXPECTED TO GET VACCINATED
AGAINST CORONAVIRUS, EVEN THOUGH VACCINES HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE IN
HIS COUNTRY FOR MONTHS NOW.
>> THE KREMLIN HAVE SAID THIS WILL BE A PRIVATE EVENT.
THEY SAY THEY'RE NOT GOING-- IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TELEVISED.
THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO RELEASE ANY PICTURES.
>> ALTHOUGH VLADIMIR PUTIN'S DOCTOR DID BRIEF THE WORLD ON
THE PRESIDENT'S VACCINATION.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I AM DR. VICTOR VON DOOM.
I AM PERSONAL PHYSICIAN TO THE WORLD'S MOST NOTORIOUS
STRONGMEN-- VLADIMIR PUTIN, KIM JONG-UN, AND BRITNEY SPEARS'
DAD.
TODAY, I ADMINISTERED PRESIDENT PUTIN'S VACCINE.
HE IS FINE.
>> CAN WE SEE A PHOTO?
>> OF COURSE.
>> NO, OF HIM GETTING THE VACCINE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> NO, OF PRESIDENT PUTIN GETTING VACCINATED.
>> SILENCE!
BUT IN LIEU OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF, PRESIDENT PUTIN HAS
RELEASED THIS STATEMENT: >> SOUNDS LIKE HE'S MAD AT YOU.
>> NO, IF HE WERE MAD, WHY WOULD HE HAVE SENT ME THIS LOVELY GIFT
BASKET OF SUSHI AND UNDERWEAR.
OH, NO!
