That's a new low.

This is frankly unacceptable, and I had to check this against multiple sources just to be sure, but its all true. Anybody who tries to justifies this or does not believe the US stooped to a level lower than Nazi Germany with this latest act needs to be banned from the forum immediately. No exception.

UAE reports need for a third dose of China’s Covid vaccine​

Some people who have received the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine in the United Arab Emirates have had to be given a third dose to boost their response, according to local health authorities.

Doctors said that the antibody response to two doses of the vaccine — the main one offered in the UAE’s successful programme — had been variable.

Although the UAE health ministry has given few details, local newspapers reported that a “small” proportion of those who had received doses needed a third.

Sigh. Chile is reporting 5,000 cases per day, higher than usual, despite already injecting an unusually large number of Sinovac vaccines.

And how many of those are from people that already got injected with the second dose? The Chilean president only got his second dose two days ago?

It takes about two to three weeks for the symptoms to manifest which means those 5000 cases a day right now would have been infected in the middle of February, and you only started vaccinating in the second week of February.

You also need to achieve around 70 to 80% of the population with their second shot to start to see the effects. Right now, its only around 16 to 25% of the population with mostly the first shot, with the minority that already took their shot in February only taking the second this month. That means only a fraction of the February jabs have only gotten their second.

The average stay in the hospital for a patient that died from covid ranges from 4 to 50 days. Let's just say a month. So the 5000 who died today, would have been in the hospital around the middle of February and given the time it would take for them to get infected, that means they would have to be infected in the end of January, all before the vaccinations.

Another underhanded attempt to discredit Chinese vaccines. Firstly, only a small group of people got injected with a third dose. The reason is to give people with a weak immune system an extra boost. It is also intended to test a modified third dose against variants. But of course Western media tried to distort a simple scientific experiment into something else.

As for Chile, only a little over 10% of Chile population have been fully vaccinated. Herd immunity requires 70%-80% share of population fully vaccinated. Any attempt to imply Sinovac as not effective is just a cheap shot. On the other hand, Israel claims that it has fully vaccinated 50% of its population but there are still over 1500 cases of covid-19 today which isn't a good sign.

Western media wouldn't report this but the reason why Sinovac and Sinopharm are getting more orders is that many countries have found out in the first hand that it is effective.

A nursing home in southern Chile, whose residents and staff had received at least one dose of the Sinovac vaccine in the first week of February, successfully weathered a major coronavirus outbreak, after 70 infected were reported at the site.

Only one older adult died, but "she was one of the four residents of the home who for various reasons did not receive the vaccine," according to the San Vicente de Paul home, in the town of Ancud.

On Monday, March 8, 25 residents of that center (including 24 older adults already recovered from coronavirus) and staff received the second dose of the vaccine.
