In Brazil, alarm over no-shows for second Covid vaccine dose (Sinovac only 16% effective one shot)
NBC ^ | 4/23/21

Health experts are concerned after a study found the Sinovac Biotech (SVA.O) Covid-19 vaccine, which has accounted for some 80% of Brazil's program, is just 16% effective after one shot.

Brazil’s Covid-19 vaccination program is being put at risk by people failing to show up for their second shot, with 1.5 million people missing appointments for the follow-up dose needed to maximize protection, according to the Health Ministry.

Specialists say that is particularly concerning after a recent real-world study from Chile found that the Sinovac Biotech (SVA.O) Covid-19 vaccine, which has accounted for some 80% of Brazil's program, is just 16% effective after one shot.

“Without the two doses, we get neither full protection nor a long duration of protection,” Juarez Cunha, head of the Brazilian Society of Immunizations, told Reuters. “We need people to do the full cycle.”

Until this week, more people were dying in Brazil of Covid-19 than anywhere in the world,

How would this statistic be known unless there was a control study of one shot for a statistically large sample with a follow-up on infection rates with covid within that population?

Specialists say 97.5% of what is published as news is garbage.

2B (shot) or not 2B (shot)? That is the question. I prefer not 2B (shot)

I have seen video of the slum areas in Brazil. There is no way they could be giving shots to all those people. Most of them don’t even have food to eat much less medical attention.

I sure wonder what the infection and death rate in those areas are.

Sinovac Biotech (SVA.O) Covid-19 vaccine

"Sino", as in "relating to China"?

Sinovac? Chinese perhaps? I’d rather be injected with rat poison than with anything developed in Red China.

Chinese vaccine.. What could possibly go wrong!
I wouldn’t knowingly eat anything from China (I expect I do ) let along let someone inject a Chinese product in me.
Guaranteed to be adulterated.

A Chinese vaccine is ineffective. I'm shocked, shockec that such a thing could happen (looking at my Chinese "vice grip" pliers that worked once before they broke).

Even with two doses a Brazillian study showed it was only 50.4% effective.
