Chinese health authorities have recently said that an additional third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine may be needed to boost its effectiveness. The announcement was released soon after a doctor in China’s Xi’an city was reportedly infected with the CCP virus after receiving two doses of a Chinese-made COVID-19 vaccine.
A virologist who spoke with The Epoch Times believes that the poor quality of the Chinese-made vaccines and the increasing threat posed by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus mutations are causing infections.
The Chinese doctor surnamed Liu from Xi’an city, the capital of Shaanxi Province, tested positive for the CCP virus despite getting two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, Chinese media reported on March 18. The reports did not mention which Chinese-made vaccine the doctor received nor provide additional information about the case.
In an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on March 20, Gao Fu, the director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), explained why two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine may not be enough and a third dose could be required to prevent infections.
Gao said that the virus infection is in the respiratory tract, but antibodies are produced in the body after the vaccination. “The antibodies in the body [produced after taking the vaccine] may not be so good for preventing respiratory infections.”
He said that the mass vaccination has just started and there is no data to show how people react to the vaccine.

Gao Fu, the director of the Chinese CDC said that two doses of the Chinese-made COVID-19 vaccines, which are inactivated vaccines, might not induce enough antibodies, and a third dose is needed.
Gao tried to reassure the public about the efficacy of the homegrown vaccines by emphasizing that they can protect the general population against the disease.
Meanwhile, the distributor of China’s Sinopharm vaccine in the United Arab Emirates has started offering a third dose to some people with low immune response. The UAE approved the Sinopharm vaccine last year. Authorities said on March 20 that nearly 56 percent of its adult population has been inoculated with at least one dose of the Chinese vaccine.
A Hong Kong media commentator criticized the government for using its own people as “lab rats” for the Sinovac vaccine.
The efficacy of Chinese vaccines has been questioned due to the lack of transparency in trial data. The phase three clinical trial of the Sinovac vaccine conducted in Brazil in January reported that it was 50.4 percent effective, which is far below the initial claims of the Chinese company that touted a 78 percent efficacy rate.
Lin pointed out that neither the Sinopharm nor the Sinovac vaccines have undergone large-scale clinical trials in mainland China and there is no data about the side effects.
I guess eventually everyone will have an IV drip delivering a never-ending dose of the vaccines :-/
” everyone will have an IV drip “
And a face mask sutured to their faces.
The proletariat will dutifully comply.
China Virus keeps mutating in China, can they stop it if it gets worse?
Vaxaholism
Why not make it 10?
Just say IT DOES NOT WORK and be done with it
What a surprise.
I avoid popping the bubbles packed with stuff shipped from China.
Translation : Quality not so good quantity excellent.
Would you like a little dog food mixed with your vaccine? It’s all the same in a chink factory, just sell it to a stupid white or woke American. Sickening.
Good point ping

Isn’t that what viruses do??
😱😱😱
🙃
Just curious....do you pop the bubbles on US shipped bubble wrap?
:-)
I hate those voluminous bubble wrap with a tiny item inside a huge carboard box. Doesn’t Amazon have smaller boxes? It would be against CDC rules for me to pop the bubble wrap within 6 feet and breathe in the unknown air. I just place them on the parking lot concrete and run over them with my car a few times. Must follow CDC rules!
If you’re talking about the air pillows (much larger, air filled squares than tiny bubble wrap).....those aren’t inflated in China.
Companies (like Amazon) have YUGE ream rolls of flat plastic pockets.....and the pockets are inflated, within the distribution centers.
The plastic is made in China, then shipped here. Where it’s either filled and sold to smaller distributors, or, sold flat, on the rolls, and inflated at the large centers.
So, that’s good ol’ American air you’re taking outside to pop/fearful of.
Think about it....why would they take up space in that shipping container....that they want packed to the brim w/cheap China stuff...with air pockets???
Space = $$$/yuan.
And, at least half of the pillows/pockets wouldn’t survive the long trip. 😏
50% effective. Some claims of up to 78% but they’re not giving any data.
They’re now trying to reverse engineer the Oxford vaccine.
To be noted: China has been engineering their vaccines based on early versions of the virus, which has since mutated to have strong spike ‘stems’ making more spikes able to connect to the Ace receptors. (whereas before more stems ‘wilted’ so they couldn’t connect). This could be why Chinese vaccines have had little success in Brazil where the vaccine has had a chance to ‘win’ against an ineffective vaccine/immune response.

I don't doubt it.
