Ah, the CCP strikes again.
The Chinese Communists had promised the world a safe, effective vaccine to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Before their vaccines had even hit the market, they were selling millions of doses to countries such as Mongolia, Bahrain, and Chile. They loaned a billion dollars to Latin America so countries there could afford the shots. They gave 100,000 doses to tiny, impoverished Bangladesh.
All of this was to build goodwill and improve strained relations that China had damaged so much in recent years. Indonesia — which never counted itself a “friend” of China — was being given vaccine doses when most of the west was still trying to get their own populations vaccinated.
But there was one, small problem with the vaccines. They don’t work very well.
New York Times:
“If the vaccines are sufficiently good, we should not see this pattern,” said Jin Dongyan, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong. “The Chinese have a responsibility to remedy this.”
It’s too late to fix the problem. There may be as many as a billion doses of the Sinovac Chinese-made vaccine that have been given out — mostly to Chinese citizens. And we’ll never hear what’s truly happening in China with surges and outbreaks.
