Four of 11 Chinese vaccines are in advanced trials, but none have been approved for mass market distributionIn a recent Viber chat with former Health Secretary Esperanza “Espie” Cabral, we both expressed concern over illegal COVID-19 vaccines preying on the vulnerable public, who are made to believe that the vaccine is already proven to be safe and effective.
The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines denied that China already sent vaccines for public use in the Philippines. Meanwhile, print and broadcast reports indicate that hundreds are queuing up somewhere in Eastern China to get themselves vaccinated. Taking advantage of a pandemic situation is a serious aggravating circumstance in our Revised Penal Code, and this is a good opportunity to show one and all—Filipinos and foreigners alike—that our FDA and our government are no pushover, and we deal with criminals harshly.
While a vaccine may be said to be the silver bullet against the pandemic, it could have adverse effects in the long term, which may not show soon after its administration. That’s why it must undergo extensive clinical testing with long-term observation.
