More like sheer stupidity. Would Mr. Blinken refrain from blaming China if the virus did in fact escape from the Wuhan lab like the Biden admin has been speculating?
Kind of funny...
An alternative take on Sinopharm
In Singapore it has become somewhat of a "Luxury" good as opposed to the common perception in the west. Clinics charging $100 per vaccination, and one of the clinics has already imported 10,000 doses.
As mentioned in previous articles, some Singaporeans have been scared off mRNA after a couple young people suffered severe side effects (1 death, 1 major heart attack). Sinopharm is also more highly regarded than Sinovac this article seems to imply.

To be fair, according to the WHO (either paid off by the USA or China depending on who you ask) Sinovac is at 50.4% and Sinopharm is 76%. On top of that Sinovac was being used in nearby Indonesia which was hit hard by Delta.It's more the result of a negative publicity campaign by the western media against Sinovac than the actual efficacy between the 2 vaccines.
Is this what you call “Head in the sand”?
The rates of infection and death are basically 1000X worse than Canada, yet a travel advisory is issued… if anything you are safer in Canada than most US states.
How is something like this decided? I mean there is a case jump is most provinces and especially bad in the western provinces, but since most people are vaccinated and vaccinated recently, the large majority of new cases are amongst the unvaccinated.

Allegedly Philippine president Duerte also thought Sinopharm was better…
