Sour grapes. But at least Professor Krammer is being objective.

Another advantage of the inactivated vaccines being developed by Sinopharm is that they tend to have fewer adverse effects after immunization, according to Florian Krammer, an immunologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He said more clarity on the trials in the Emirates would be welcome, but expressed confidence in the vaccine’s initial results.

“It would be great to see some of that data,” Professor Krammer said in an email. “But 86 percent is a respectable number — there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I would take such a vaccine.”

Covid-19 Was in Italy in Late November 2019, New Report Shows

The coronavirus was circulating in Italy as soon as the end of November 2019, according to a new report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lending weight to other studies that have suggested an earlier appearance of the disease in Europe.

Tests showed that a child from the Milan area contracted a severe acute coronavirus respiratory syndrome in early December 2019, about three months before the first Covid-19 cases were identified in the country, the report said. The symptoms were mistaken for a case of measles.

No, I think this is new. It confirmed that the virus has been circulating in Europe in Nov or before Nov. More and more evidence has pointed to this direction. However, the Western media and people still could claim that China had the virus even earlier. I think it is a great mistake from the Chinese science community to pinpoint the the virus to the seafood market without pondering other possibilities. In the early days even top Chinese scientists blamed Chinese eating habit and wild animals for the virus. Right now, it is difficult to overcome the prejudice from the West. Not sure, scientists would ever be able to pinpoint the origin of the coronvirus.

Let the prejudice doom them all of that is the case. They ignored the science to pin the blame on China and look at where it honestly got them. If they worked together with China none of this would have happened to this extent but now, if there vaccines end up creating an even greater disaster, then it is all on them. America and the west deserved this situation for all the havoc they unleashed on the world and since the will not listen to reason, well 2021 is going to be a dark year for them.
