@vincent thanks bro, it validated my decision not to inoculate my son with Pfizer and wait for him to turn 18 years old next year to be vaccinated with Sinovac.

You guys are lucky that you have the choice.
@solarz Yes sir, IF not for Duterte (his friendship with Xi), There will be riot in the street and we Hua Qiao will be targeted. Same with Xi he had his baptism of fire and he passed it with flying colors.
Do remember that even if Walvax's mRNA vaccine gets approved, the planned production capacity is only 100m doses a year. Whatever China's plan is, it doesn't involve giving every Chinese a mRNA booster.
I think china is smart enough to only share it with trusted partners. But then again sharing the patents might be a big PR win. China the country that could and did the right thing.
You don't need to "Bro" me.
When I said worshipper I was referring to people (including you since you picked it up) who believes one technology path (mRNA) is superior than others before looking at data, not only the initial data but latest ones, in this case 6 months later. That kind of belief is not based on fact and logic, it is religious, therefor worshipping.
On the other hand, trying out mRNA simultaneously with other technical paths and make the choice some time later based on study and research as China is doing and as I am suggesting is based on fact and logic, therefor NOT worshipping.
Doing the same thing (developing mRNA) does not make you and me same in any way because the reason of what you and I made the choices are vastly opposite.
mRNA was very effective in the early months before Delta variant, that is a fact nobody denies. Don't try to twist my statement. mRNA is much less effective from Israel's months long real life data. Another couple of month later now, the event in Norway further confirms so. These are facts. 50% is not what I suggested but by doctor from Norwegian CDC. 50% is only today, I did not say all the time, don't twist it. You should argue with Israel and Norwegian CDCs, not me.
Today's mRNA efficacy being low is because they are made out of the early variants and more than 6 months. NOT because mRNA path is wrong. So don't try to mess up the two matters. Dragging in China's effort won't have you because China is doing it not for the reason that you suggested (mRNA being superior). If I have the money I can choose either throw a party, or make a firework show, or both, it doesn't mean I love one over the other.
Apparently we all agree that "mRNA worshippers" are cheap. That's a good thing.
