Beijing Seeks to Aggressively Export Its COVID-19 Vaccines at Cheap Prices
Epoch Times ^ | 10/06/2020 | Nicole Hao

Recent Chinese media reports revealed that Beijing was seeking to export COVID-19 vaccines at extremely low prices, while selling them at considerably higher rates—more than 22.5 times in one case—inside China.

As countries race toward developing a safe vaccine, the Chinese regime has aggressively pushed for Chinese manufacturers to export their doses to foreign countries.

One Chinese drug company said it would sell the vaccine to Brazil for around $2 per dose. But in interviews with Chinese media, the company’s CEO said it would sell the vaccine at 300 yuan (about $44) per dose in China.

The $2 per dose is lower than other global manufacturers’ pricing.

Chinese authorities have publicly encouraged Chinese drug companies to export their developed vaccines.

U.S.-based China affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan said Beijing seeks to dominate the global market with cheap vaccines so that it could build its image as a global savior in fighting the pandemic.

“It wants to show the world that a totalitarian ruling system is more effective,” Tang said.

The Chinese regime also wants to influence other countries into supporting its agenda. “It’s likely to get underdeveloped countries to rely on its vaccines, then these countries would support it at the United Nations and other international organizations,” Tang said.

On Aug. 5, Johnson & Johnson announced that it reached an agreement with the U.S. government to supply 100 million doses of its investigational vaccine, Ad26.COV2.S, after it gets approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The U.S. government is funding the manufacturing costs and will offer the vaccine on a “not-for-profit” basis at $10 per dose.

Another U.S. pharma giant, Moderna, said in August that smaller volume agreements for the company’s experimental vaccine will be priced in the range of $32 to $37 per dose.

Yup, take the vaccine and feel sick an hour later...
Hopefully you get at least a fortune cookie with it.

I have posted about this several times. Not just China but Russia so they can buy friends in poor third world countries with their vaccines.

And a lot of the anti covid vaccine hysteria that is delaying the US vaccine is being encouraged on social media, partly by Dems to discredit Trump, but also by Chinese and Russian dis information via bots etc.

This is not new among liberal types but now the Right and the trad Catholic blogosphere is starting to believe this crap.

RE: We should buy NOTHING from China.

Including iPhones and PC’s?


ESPECIALLY your electronics! That and stuff you put in your body would be the top two things not to buy from China!
