Sinovac vaccine has gone through the third phase of its clinical trial. The protective rate is 79.34%. Though It looks lower than the 90-95% protective rate announced by Pfizer, Modena and Russian vaccines, one must bear in mind
2/ that China uses the traditional method of virus inactivation which produces a lot less undesirable side effects. And even when side effects do manifest, it's within the known and expected range. There's a lot less uncertainty.
It's to be noted that the protectiveness
3/of traditional flu vaccine is about 60-70%. So a 80% is pretty respectable. Highly concentrated antibodies have been detected in everyone receiving the vaccine. Even if 20% of the people may still catch Covid19, the symptoms will be a lot milder and won't necessitate
4/hospital and ICU treatment.
The press release of Sinovac is concise, for the simple reason the the third phase clinical trials have been carried out in more than a dozen countries. It would take some time for Chinese researchers to collect all the data, conduct the analysis
5/ and produce a paper destined for the publication in a scientific journal.
The maleficent nasty fairy NYT and BBC immediately put down current lack of information on "China not being transparent", ignoring the fact that there is little information with regard to Pfizer
6/ and Modena vaccines as well at the current stage.
Obviously, many western public don't trust the Pfizer and Modena vaccines which use the brand new biotechnology mRNA. Nobody knows how the side effects will be when the vaccines are mass rolled out. Contrary to Sinovac,
7/ their third phase clinical trials haven't been carried out to the end as of yet. The accelerated approval of FDA and of other countries, the total exoneration of the liabilities of Big Pharma in case of severe side effects etc all throw doubt on the American vaccines.
8/ The highly popular French Covid19 conspiracy documentary "Hold-Up" blatantly states that these vaccines are dangerous and can't be trusted.
Given the background, the anti-China propaganda notwithstanding, western public are trying to procure Chinese vaccines
9/on the black market. As of now, a Chinese vaccine shot could fetch the price of US$750 on the black market according to Israeli newspaper Checkpoints. At this price, once again, only the rich can afford and the rest of the population must be content to be the little white mice
10/of new Big Pharma biotechnology.
With regard to Covid19, the West is the new third world and China is the new super power. China's Covid19 response is hundreds of times better than that of the US/West and its vaccines are undoubtedly much safer.
11/ Nobody trusts American government and Big Pharma. Conspiracy theories fly around and are eagerly embraced by the public. One wonders why? US/Western governments and Big Pharma have lied too much and lost their credibility maybe?
Correction. I should refer to the vaccine as Sinopharm Vaccine, not Sinovac.
Human species has evolved to the current stage where the West, supposedly the most advanced section of sapiens has deemed the collective human behavior (China's hard lockdown and big data tracking) to adapt to the harsh reality of the environment for survival
2/ as "totalitarian human rights abuses".
Unfortunately virus doesn't know and doesn't cooperate with Western propaganda.
If virus had been more lethal, some part of the sapiens would have been wiped out. Chinese sapiens would have survived thanks to
3/ their "totalitarian human rights abuses".
In the evolutionary history of sapiens or animals, those who are able to adapt to the environment survived. Not the other way round. It's not for the environment to adapt to human needs or rights. It's for humans to adjust
Despite anti-China propaganda, there's a worldwide buying spree of "made-in-China" in 2020. Trend will strengthen in 2021. China is going from world's factory to world's super factory
China's exports have gone up 20% in 2020. One of the contributing
2/ factors is the wild increase in PPE and other medical supply orders China received from all over the world. As most factories are closed or unable to meet the heavy demands within a short notice, China as world's factory with huge manufacturing capacity has to step in.
3/ The 2021 key product of China's exports would be Chinese vaccines. Given the advantage of safety, effectiveness, easy transportability and affordability, as of now, 40 countries have expressed the purchase intention and 16 countries have already ordered 500 million vaccine
other medical supplies for the world hit hard by Covid.
Successfully developed safe viable affordable easily transportable Covid vaccines and proposed latter as a public health product for the world, especially for poor countries.
2/ Eliminated absolute poverty. Provided long-term sustainable livelihoods to 100 million poorest people.
Another look at the vaccine situation. Western nations can only take care of their own vaccine needs. Burden of vaccines of the rest of the world lies with China
Comprehensive effectiveness of Chinese vaccine is about 86%. It generates 100%
2/ antibodies but overall effectiveness including duration is about 86%. Effectiveness of Pfizer vaccines is said to be about 95%, but its side effects are alleged to be more serious & numerous.
Chinese vaccines use the classic method employed by flu vaccines, ie, dead viruses.
3/ When a dead virus is injected into the body, it doesn't reproduce but the virus has the form of a live virus so it will induce the body to produce corresponding antibodies. The Pfizer vaccine uses the mRNA method by injecting a fragment of the virus RNA giving the body a
2/maniacally obsessed with China being the biggest threat and has raised the anti-China intelligence budget 20%? He declared that China is experimenting with editing the genes of 2 million PLA soldiers to make them into invincible Super Soldiers. That's a flattering projection
3/of Captain America and Hollywood Super Hero Marvel series.
Chinese government was totally puzzled at this rumor and did some investigation into this projected science fiction.
The finding is jaw-dropping. Turns out to be a slogan in a PLA military barracks saying
It appears that US asked China to reopen the Chengdu consulate, invite US journalists back to China as a gesture to win the good will of the American people and to improve China's image held by the American public, 80% of whom are supposed to
2/hold very negative opinions on China.
So now China must take unilateral actions to improve the Sino-US relationship to please and placate the Americans who don't like China.
Note the subterfuge of the roguish logic behind such request.
It should be the other way around.
3/It was the US who shut down the Houston consulate and expelled Chinese journalists first. To remedy the situation, one would assume the ball lies in the court of the US? Shouldn't US reopen the Houston consulate, invite back the Chinese journalists first before
