China\u0027s top disease control official says the country is considering mixing COVID\u002D19 vaccines to further boost vaccine efficacy

The currently available vaccines “don’t have very high rates of protection,” Gao Fu, the director of the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a conference in the Chinese city of Chengdu on Saturday.Gao said that taking steps to “optimize” the vaccine process including changing the number of doses and the length of time between doses was a “definite” solution to the efficacy issues.

China has struck deals to supply many of its allies and economic partners in the developing world and boasted that world leaders – including in Indonesia, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates – have taken the shots. A COVID-19 vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac was found to have an efficacy rate of slightly above 50% in Brazilian clinical trials. A separate study in Turkey said it was 83.5% effective.

Ask yourself did we eradicate the common cold? 🥶 HIV? SARS? The answers boys and girls is NO !!! WE DID NOT and never will

One good thing about JustinTrudeau covid failures is that he failed in his initial attempt to lock us into only having a Chinese vax. Has failed to get us much of any other, but at least we aren’t taking this garbage he tried to force on us.

You'd think the chynese would have a better knowledge about the chynese virus. Hmmm

How good is Canada’s vaccine?

This is what Canada almost got 🙈🙈😳😳🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

And they gave it to so many poor countries. Disgraceful. China needs to be sued for covid

Of course!

Canada has ordered vaccines like multiple times over our total population. We will be okay, right? RIGHT?

Will Canada ship some it's Canadian made vaccines ?

Should Canada purchase the left overs kinsellawarren ? Bad joke sorry!

Why didn't they just steal one of the other vaccines and reproduce it. That's what they do for everything else made in China.

Chinese product? Shocking. Just shocking.
