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!
