“We’re seeing certainly real-time vaccine diplomacy start to play out, with China in the lead in terms of being able to manufacture vaccines within China and make them available to others,” said Krishna Udayakumar, founding director of the Duke Global Health Innovation Center at Duke University. “Some of them donated, some of them sold, and some of them sold with debt financing associated with it.
Like many other countries, Chile received far fewer doses of the Pfizer vaccine than first promised. In the month after its vaccination program began in late December, only around 150,000 of the 10 million Pfizer doses the South American country ordered arrived. China’s vaccines, which can be stored in standard refrigerators, are attractive to countries like Indonesia, a sweltering nation that straddles the equator and could struggle to accommodate the ultracold storage needs of vaccines like Pfizer’s.
Serbia became the first country in Europe to start inoculating its population with China’s vaccines in January. The country has so far purchased 1.5 million doses of Sinopharm’s vaccine, which makes up the majority of the country’s supply, and smaller amounts of Russia’s Sputnik V and Pfizer’s vaccines.
Neighboring Hungary, impatient over delays in the European Union, soon became the first country in the EU to approve the same Chinese vaccine. On Sunday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban got the Sinopharm shot, after recently saying he trusted the Chinese vaccine the most. But Zayed ultimately decided to get the shot after conducting more research. A doctor at his hospital called colleagues in the United Arab Emirates, which had approved the same shot, and they met with Egyptian health officials.
With Chinese vaccines, “for a lot of people, the first thing you think about is ‘Made in China,’ and that doesn’t give you much assurance,” said Joy Zhang, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK who studies the ethics of emerging science. Those concerns have been exacerbated by confusion around the efficacy of Sinovac’s shot. In Turkey, where Sinovac conducted part of its efficacy trials, officials have said the vaccine was 91% effective. However, in Brazil, officials revised the efficacy rate in late-stage clinical trials from 78% to just over 50% after including mild infections.
The world should boycott the the cheating, sneaky chinese. The virus is their fault!
Please do not politicize covid-19 vaccines. whether it is made by US,UK,Russia,China or India, it does not matter. Vaccines are saving lives, saving the world. The more the bettet. It is evil to politicize covid19 vaccines.
Fake news. The US’s first Covid-19 case was earlier than the first case identified in Wuhan.
The vaccines are going to preserve and save lives. Let's appreciate that all the politics behind are just waste of time.
This Chinese virus 🦠 have already caused loss of trillions $ to the international economy & have taken millions of precious lives.
Since the associated press see so clearly, why not call Biden anti ya, with Biden together incompetent associated press!!!
You know all the misinformation about vaccines around on here & other websites mainly applies to their vaccine I’m sure. And then add their communist propaganda on top of that.
Partly fixing the mess you unleashed on the world doesn't make one a savior.
JonLemire Whatever it takes, get the world vaccinated. ESP the poorer nations. America seems to have its own vax rollout issues.
Probably just full of water
Isn’t their vaccine like the shittiest one?
The Chinese tend to not care about concerns of safety, health, etc until it bites them in the ass and causes them to lose money, which is why they're tryna push this 'vaccine' out, and if they're tryna push the vaccine out to save face they definitely did not do proper testing
Never.
Fuk China
JonLemire
If you take a closer look at the countries that accept the Chinese vaccine, you'll see they are practically all China's Music allies in the middle east and super poor socialist countries in the Latin America.
