Wouldn't Indian middlemen make up the loss by price gouging anyway?
The fuck do they care? Don't they have cow shit to smear on themselves to ward off COVID?!
These are the same douchebags bitching about China sending aid and being ungrateful little turds.
Tell you what, Chinese producers should fucking gouge; and put on a Ladakh tax; they can tell the Jai hinds that nothing but the very Best for the immaculate Jai Hinds. And the Very Best includes the Most Expensive.
OR they can use their supposedly superior democratic system to enforce the law better.
I want to point out Israel has not opened its door to foreigners and tourists. In addition, we simply don't have all the facts on the ground especially what variants are circulated in Seychelles. It is disgusted all those so called experts and MSM trying so hard to discredit Chinese vaccines.
Remembering the fake news the western media put out regarding the "bat soup" and "fried bats", I really think it is demeaning to subject Indians to the same treatment.
A regular Indian person cannot be faulted for the failure of the government to provide basic education and reduce this kind of superstition. Even today, the literacy rate of India is behind China (despite having a historical economic head start), and looks even worse when comparing by gender (Women's literacy is only 60% or something like that). This is the sort of human rights issue that I presented to a certain forum member who insisted that democracy is somehow naturally better.
And not to sound like advocating for smearing yourself in sh*t, but since traditional medicine was brought up before...
What we know now about microbiomes vs. even as recently as 10 years ago, you can't discount making some kind of medical discovery from it. A (human) poop pill could save people from intestinal surgery...
The dried cow dung cakes are a traditional source of heating fuel. It is actually more environmentally friendly than chopping down trees for firewood. Cows eat mainly grass, which was the "holy grail" a few years ago for ethanol production (now kind of displaced by advances in battery production).
I am sure it helps with social distancing!
Back to Covid discussion
What did Nigeria do? Curious, since they are usually quite friendly with China.
1. If the real world application of Chinese vaccines was so ineffective, then we think so many dozens of countries in the world is basically jabbing their people with saltwater just because?
2. Most countries buying the Chinese vaccines are not rich, so this is just math. If you buy Pfizer, you get half the number of shots. Even if the efficacy is higher, the coverage is reduced. Worst case scenario for the Chinese vaccine (50% efficacy) will be the same amount of protection afforded by the equal number of Pfizer shots.
3. Further to math, medical resources are far more constrained in these countries. They are not so well off to enjoy the luxury of doctors whose specialty are popping pimples. Even with the worst case scenario in terms of transmission prevention, the vaccines are still highly effective in real world settings in preventing hospital visits and ventilator use.
4. Finally, there are no guarantees in the logistics of the Pfizer shots (cold chain in place, delivery times)

I think at this point, the stigma of low efficacy can be safely be chalked up to political warfare.

They only have something like 30+% vaccinated
36% fully vaccinated and 47% at least one dose.
