The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday it has approved a COVID-19 vaccine made by Sinovac Biotech for emergency use listing, paving the way for a second Chinese shot to be used in poor countries.

A WHO emergency listing is a signal to national regulators of a product’s safety and efficacy and will allow the Sinovac shot to be included in COVAX, the global program providing vaccines mainly for poor countries, which faces major supply problems due to curbs on Indian exports.

The WHO’s independent panel of experts said in a statement it recommended Sinovac’s vaccine for adults over 18. There was no upper age limit as data suggested it is likely to have a protective effect in older people. […]

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus welcomed the move, calling the vaccine safe and effective and noting its easy storage requirements make it suitable for low-income countries. …

I am just repeating what one Brazilian working here in the USA told me: the “poor” people are mostly socialists and are all taking the Chicom shots. The death rate is through the roof. It is a given that the poor will have a inadequate health system to fight Covid but also the Chicom jabs seem to be killing also and not doing a good job of mitigating symptoms let alone preventing previously healthy from getting the ‘rona.

I don’t believe “Approve” is the precise verbiage they should be looking for when talking about “Authorized for emergency use”.

Nor is there the extensive testing data required to make pronouncements on any signals about the “safety and “efficacy” of an experimental vaccine. I’m not an epidemiologist, but then obviously whoever wrote that sure as hell isn’t either.

The Chicom anti-bioweapon vaccine is a traditional vaccine like so many claim to want.

Sinovac is, at best, only moderately effective. It’s being used in Chile, with 42% of the population fully vaccinated and 56% partially vaccinated. Yet the infection rate there remains as high as ever.

It’s been such a bust that the government of Chile is now planning a 2nd round of vaccinations when the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines become widely available in Latin America.
