Rome (Italy) March 3 (EFE), (Camera: Álvaro Padilla).- The far-right leader Matteo Salvini urged authorities to seek vaccines anywhere in the world, following the example of Austria with Russia's Sputnik V, and criticized the supply delays and slowness of the European Union (EU) permits. SOUNDBITES OF MATTEO SALVINI, LEADER OF THE LEAGUE: "We must do it quickly. To the question of whether the Russian vaccine seems good to me, my answer is that, regardless of whether it is made in Russia, Greenland, New Zealand, San Marino or Israel, it is enough that it works and that it arrives quickly.""European governments such as Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and others that move 360 ??degrees are doing well.""Health is above all. It is above the bureaucracy, it is not about strategic alliances or geopolitics.""If Europe had done what it promised, we would not be like this. If the promised and paid vaccines had arrived we would have less problems. Today the reality in so many Italian regions is that they must slow down because they don't have the vaccine.""If San Marino finishes vaccinating in April, while two thirds of Italy will still be closed and worried, it means that San Marino has worked well and we should do better."

California biotech company Vaxart is under federal investigation and is being sued by a number of investors. According to CNN, Vaxart was served with a grand jury subpoena in July from the US District Court for the Northern District of California. It's under fire for exaggerating its involvement in the US government's Operation Warp Speed program for developing COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. Vaxart issued a June press release saying 'Vaxart's Covid-19 Vaccine Selected for the US Government's Operation Warp Speed.' The news pumped Vaxart's stock price from $3 to $17. Hedge fund Armistice Capital, which partly controlled Vaxart, sold its shares, profiting more than $200m. A few weeks before it announced its supposed inclusion in the Operation Warp Speed program, Vaxart granted amendments to its warrants agreements. That allowed Armistice to sell almost all of their stock, which they did once the stock price skyrocketed. In July, the HHS said it had neither entered into a funding agreement nor negotiations with Vaxart.
