In this April 11, 2020, photo released by Xinhua News Agency, a staff member tests samples of a potential COVID-19 vaccine at a production plant of SinoPharm in Beijing. In the global race to make a coronavirus vaccine, the state-owned Chinese company is boasting that it gave its employees, including top executives, experimental shots even before the government OK'd testing in people.
China has positioned itself to be a strong contender. Eight of the nearly two dozen potential vaccines in various stages of human testing worldwide are from China, the most of any country. And SinoPharm and another Chinese company already have announced they’re entering final testing. “The idea of people willing to sacrifice themselves ... is pretty much expected in China,” said Yanzhong Huang, a global health expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, a U.S. nonprofit organization.But with corporate and government officials getting vaccinated, other employees “might feel pressure to participate. That would violate the voluntary principle” that is a bedrock of modern medical ethics, Huang said.
Some participants in the first CanSino clinical trial in March said in social media posts that researchers on the project claimed they had been injected Feb. 29, before regulators gave the study the go-ahead. A researcher said team leader Chen Wei, a renowned military virologist, was the first to receive the experimental vaccine, one of the participants told state-owned Beijing News.
With a COVID-19 vaccine, national pride is at stake. President Xi Jinping pledged that any Chinese-made vaccine would be a “global public good.”
of course, of their own free will and without any pressure or risk of losing their job 🙃
Since they created it guess they had a vaccine all along.
If they want to be in a pre-human trial human trial go ahead. I wish Bill Gates shared their confidence.
I would much rather take a chance with the covid than a vaccine from China
No not China according the WHO and the Left they are a guiding light we should strive towards.
China, unethical? Naw, couldn’t be… 🙄
I’m pretty sure they used Uygherian slaves to do testing.
It’s China. What ethics?
I wouldn't take anything from China. They nuts
They already had the vaccine.
Who the hell is going to trust a vaccine from China right now?
The xhinese don't believe in ethics
Ethical concerns in China? I don't believe it
Chinese drug makers take no responsibility for any side effects
Your facts on testing aren’t usually correct and China isn’t known for being truthful - that’s a match made in Heaven
But the fact that America will extort people for its vaccine is not an ethical concern
Are they testing on the imprisoned muslims in Xinjiang?
It seems Chinese employees is alike a Aminal.
Yeah b/c we should trust anything coming out of china...
It's calle the one potato, two potatoes system
Where are the Chinese citizens who first got infected in Wuhan... Are they still alive?
Well it's kinda like sourdough bread. You have to have a 'starter' batch to make. So in terms of the Covid-19 virus, why is this news surprising. It isn't, actually.
on the scale of ccp ethical concerns this is like a six
This is Lindsey Graham BEFORE he started drinking the MAGA KOOL AID! Please retweet and follow us. Thank you so much. Vote for Joe Biden on Nov. 3rd.
Sounds like, jealousy backed concerns, to me...
Trump made China the global leader
I'm sure some of their 'volunteers' are glowing in the dark or growing third ears.
Who would take a vaccine from China? Please give me one lol
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY WHEN A COP WOULD DO THIS ⚠️⚠️
