Russia opens McDonald's and Starbucks replacement and the logos are... questionable
Mar 25 2022 Share

Following the global sanctions and nation-wide exits placed on Russia’s doorstep as a result of the ongoing attacks on Ukraine, a number of copycat establishments have started surfacing and we can’t believe our eyes.

Amongst others copycat brands, Starbucks & McDonald’s replacements have started popping up… with logos looking eerily similar to their American counterparts.

In the final months of the Soviet Union, McDonald’s first opened on January 31, 1990, welcoming queues of over 30,000 people on their first day. Following the recent crises, the beloved symbol of American culture is in the midst of the temporary closure of 847 branches employing 62,000 employees across the country.

Uncle Vanya’s is set to take McDonald’s place in Russia, with the logo application filed by Russia’s state duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin. Several trademarks have reportedly been filed related to the McDonald’s name and the Golden Arches, journalist Ally Marotti has stated.

Other copycat brands which have surfaced include a coffee chain by the name of Starducks Coffee. That’s right, Starducks.

COVID prevention jab by AstraZeneca approved by European Medicines Agency
Mar 25 2022 Share

On Thursday, the European Medicines Agency recommended approval for AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 prevention jab, which can be administered to individuals with issues with their immune system or severe reactions to regular vaccines.

The EMA human medicines committee stated that their recommendation “grants a marketing authorisation for Evusheld, developed by AstraZeneca for the prevention of COVID-19 in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.”

Evusheld revealed that a test held on 5,000 people, who received two jabs, showed reduction of risk of COVID infection by 77 percent and protection for a period of six months.

The study was held before the emergence of the Omicron strain, with lab results showing that the “Omicron BA.1 variant may be less sensitive to tixagevimab and cilgavimab than the Omicron BA.2 variant.”
