Two successful US vaccine trials suggest there is a strong possibility that their Chinese counterparts will also prove effective, according to the co-founder of a Chinese drug company.
"It is not difficult for the vaccines developed by Chinese companies ... to reach efficacy of 70 or 80 per cent," said Zhu Tao, co-founder and chief science officer of Chinese vaccine developer CanSino Biologics in an interview on Saturday.However, Zhu said it did not necessarily mean all vaccines could achieve an efficacy rate of 90 per cent or more, but they would still be "successful" if they reached the levels required by the country's regulator.
Zhu also said that published data showed that CanSino's candidate vaccine, which uses a common flu virus as a vector for genetic material from the coronavirus, had seen fewer adverse responses than a similar product developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca, which used a virus found in chimpanzees.
'China's Centre for Drug Evaluation has said drugs must be at least 50 per cent effective, and ideally exceed 70 per cent.' Wait, what? They ok vaccines which work only half the time? Wow. Sign me up... Lol
Hahaha. Shis no
No, thanks.
'hopes Chinese vaccine will be effective' parang bahala na si Batman!!!
