Healthcare workers inject people with the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine at La Pintana Sports Complex turned into a makeshift vaccination site, in Santiago, Chile, Thursday, March 11, 2021, on the one-year anniversary that the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic.
During the first months of the pandemic, the headlines in Chile were bleak, with the country’s intensive care units almost full and the government unable to control the virus’s spread despite restrictions that included mandatory lockdowns. This effort was helped by contacts made months earlier in China. In October 2019, Chilean biochemist Dr. Alexis Kalergis had traveled to Beijing with two Chilean colleagues for an international congress on immunology. There Kalergis met experts from the Chinese pharmaceutical Sinovac Biotech Ltd.
By June, long before any other country in Latin America, Chile had secured a contract with Sinovac, which agreed to deliver an early batch once the vaccine was authorized, Kalergis said. Chile was administering more than 100,000 shots almost daily since early February, and that more than tripled this week.
What a point? We will see if vaccine works. If in 6 months we still have covid in Chile the vaccines can be considered as crap
Chile knows how to do it's job. LatAm could learn a lot from them

25% of the people has received one shot... rubber bullet or vaccine?
Bet a locked border. Lol. Screw the shots if you keep pumping possible illness unchecked.
Force 25% to be vaccinated ?
There's little evidence that testing has done much good in any country. Most who get tested are negative, the positive ones come way too late and cost way too much. Few positive results ended with quarantining. It's just a counting game and a spending public money.

Looks like the vaccine is working great. Or not.

Chille legit only has 18.95 million people. If the us had that many people we would already be done months ago.
Chile is COMUNISTPARTY GUVERNAMENT THAT IS SECRET
Chi chi chi Le le ¡viva Chile!
Still I see the government not doing great things, and wasting money on stuff that doesn't help their people 😬
