Doctors say the woman was awaiting one of Pfizer's shots, which remain scarce in Brazil. But she is an outlier here. Most adults rolled up their sleeves when offered the vaccine made by the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac, and the experiment has transformed the community into an oasis of near normalcy in a country where many communities continue to suffer.
“The most important result was understanding that we can control the pandemic even without vaccinating the entire population,” Palacios said. The project “shows the protection exists and that the vaccine is effective. No doubt,” Gonzalo Vecina, one of the founders of Brazil's health regulator and a medical school professor, told The Associated Press.
Hospitals in Ribeirao Preto are so full of COVID-19 patients that the mayor imposed strict shutdown measures last week, including halting public transportation and limiting hours for the city's 700,000 residents to buy groceries. Some will wait months for their vaccines. Almost all shops are closed, and 95% of intensive-care unit beds are occupied by virus patients.
“Then, by the end of January, we heard this project was coming to Serrana. And calmness set in, little by little,” said Madalosso, 32, as he pointed at empty seats of the hospital's COVID-19 ward. “Just look at this. This is much calmer than Ribeirao Preto and the entire region. The vaccine is no cure, but it is the solution to transform this into a light flu so people can carry on.”
Vaccines arrived too late for some of the 463,000 people who have died from COVID-19 in Brazil, which has the world's second-highest death toll.
97% of the population got the shot. Now they live in the only part of Brazil without fear and no restrictions. Companies want to move there or hire their workers becsuee they know that they are protected.
If and when we get back to travelling I will wait longer before visiting countries that got the Chinese vaccines (Chile, Cambodia, Egypt etc…). I’ve heard stories of people getting Covid after two shots in Chile.
I wouldn’t trust anything made in China. No peer review!!! Watch in the coming months… countries that got the Chinese vaccines will have higher Covid breakouts.

AstraZeneca expiry change based on science but communication is key: expertsMany immunologists and infectious disease experts say it is a normal, and scientifically sound decision to extend the expiration date on vaccine doses. Comparing vaccines: country of origin, safety, doses, price, efficacy, and approval. Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V, Sinopharm, Bharat Biotech (COVAXIN), Medicago (CoVLP) lol and not because Justin has ordered 20 million more doses and can’t use the ones we already have..... CTVAtlantic The whole Covid-19 epidemic has shown many that the Gov't & media prioritize the message over facts, the communication is mostly about twisting or adapting the science to suit the message. All confidence is lost. Media used to challenge Gov't, now they are the propaganda machine.
