Zubiri did not mention a specific brand, but he made the remark after the IATF announced that it preferred vaccines made by Chinese pharmaceuticals Sinovac, Sinopharm, and CanSino because of their “affordability and production capability.”...

But Brazil, the first country to complete a late-stage trial of the Sinovac vaccine, said on Dec. 23 that the vaccine, called CoronaVac, was only more than 50-percent effective based on trial data...

China is pushing their vaccine to lots of poor countries although they haven't completed phase 3 testing. But the information from Brazil suggests it might not work very well.

Two things missing from the report.

Two weeks ago there was a major scandal when senator Lacson complained the health Dept here didn't sign the paperwork so that canceled the delivery of the Pfizer vaccine that Pompeo arranged to send to the Philippines in January.

The second missing fact is that the Chinese drug company involved has been known to give bribes.

latest update: Because the public is objecting to the fake Chinese vaccine, the US has arranged for the Moderna vaccine to be sent here, to arrive in the third quarter of the year.

About the same time, Duterte threatened to stop the US visiting forces agreement if the US didn't send vaccine. Which is hilarious because he is in trouble because his appointee is the one who didn't get around to do the paper work to get the Pfizer vaccine next month.

The whole vaccine story is in a flux here.
