China's COVID-19 vaccines don't appear to be effective at preventing outbreaks in the real world

The World Health Organization recently granted emergency use approval to China's Sinopharm and Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines, but the countries that have put the Chinese-made vaccines in the arms of their residents are reporting mixed results, at best.

"In the Seychelles, Chile, and Uruguay, all of whom have used Sinopharm or ... Sinovac in their mass vaccination efforts, cases have surged even as doses were given out," The Washington Post reports. And in Bahrain, one of the first countries to embrace the Sinopharm shot, The Wall Street Journal adds, "daily COVID-19 deaths have leapt to 12 per million people in recent weeks — an outbreak nearly five times more lethal than India's — prompting the island nation's government to shut down shopping malls and restaurants in an effort to limit the spread."

Dr. Waleed Khalifa al Manea, Bahrain's undersecretary of health, told the Journal that the recent upsurge in cases "came mainly from family gatherings — we had Ramadan, which is a very social event in Bahrain," but he also said the country is urging older people and those with chronic illness to get a six-month booster shot with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Bahrain and the neighboring United Arab Emirates started offering booster shots in late May "after studies showed that some of those vaccinated had not developed sufficient antibodies," the Post reports.

"In Dubai, the most populous of the seven members of the UAE, the emirate's health authorities have also quietly begun revaccinating with Pfizer-BioNTech those residents who had been fully inoculated with Sinopharm," the Journal reports.

"Despite the concern about Sinopharm's effectiveness, experts say the vaccine still works as intended in most cases and that it could play a significant role in shortages of vaccine doses around the world," the Post reports.

“Despite the concern about Sinopharm’s effectiveness, experts say the vaccine still works as intended in most cases...”

“Works as intended” means it made a lot of money for the politically connected.

The Moderna, Pfizer, J&J vaccines do work as intended reducing infections, illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths to very low levels.

CCP-19 is the only product China has ever produced of any durability or quality

The Chinese vaccines work as well as the rest of the garbage they sell people. Testing indicates efficacy of around 50%. Probably worse with certain variants. Fairly useless when you have vaccines around that are near or above 90% efficacy.

The CCP is very disappointed Trump developed vaccines to their virus so quickly.

These fake vaccines of theirs are an attempt to keep their project alive.

One of my friends made a big deal out of getting that vax. Basically a “nanny nanny boo boo” because he lives in a Muslim country and got it earlier than people here.

The question is whether their vaccines kill people like the Western vaccines seem to be doing?
