Brazil's health regulator said Thursday its decision to reject the Russian-made Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine was based on the developer's own data, after the latter threatened to sue for defamation.

Brazilian regulators' decision Monday to deny emergency use authorization for the vaccine has blown up into an all-out international row, with Sputnik V's makers accusing them of "knowingly spreading false and inaccurate information" without testing the vaccine themselves.The Brazilian agency, Anvisa, based the decision on evidence the vaccine carried a live version of adenovirus, a common cold-causing virus.

"We're not closing the door whatsoever. The data presented can be revised, corrected and presented again," he said, shortly before Brazil's overall death toll in the pandemic surpassed 400,000, second only to the United States. The Brazilian government, which is struggling to secure enough vaccines for the country's 212 million people, had been negotiating the purchase of 30 million Sputnik doses.

"Anvisa made incorrect and misleading statements without having tested the actual Sputnik V vaccine."
