China Declares a Vaccine War on the World

China will allow foreigners to enter the country, but it has directed embassies around the world to only issue a visa if the traveler has gotten a COVID-19 vaccine that was made in China.

“It’s very much at the sharp end of vaccine diplomacy,” Nicholas Thomas, an associate professor in health security at the City University of Hong Kong, told CNN. “(It’s) essentially saying if you want to visit us, you need to take our vaccine.”

There has been no Chinese-made vaccine approved for human use in America, nor is there likely to be one anytime soon. China has created 5 different vaccines but none have been approved by the WHO. This is probably due to the fact that the Chinese government refuses to release the results of Stage 3 trials — a crucial requirement for vaccine approval in the U.S. and other western countries.

China’s main entry in the vaccine race — Sinovac — has an announced effectiveness of 78 percent against COVID. But Brazil actually conducted a Stage 3 trial and found it only 50.38 percent effective — far less effective than any other vaccine on the market.

1. I think economics will end up overturning this foolishness.

2. Early indicators from some Sinovac customers (e.g. Chile, which is among the top 10 countries in getting people vaccinated) suggest that it's weakened-virus vaccine may not be very effective with the sub-sub-...-sub-sub variants currently in circulation. The other potential issue is that much/most of the large-scale testing was done in China, whose ethnic diversity is not very great.

And all of this coming from the criminal entity who unleashed this genocidal pathogen. 

In a just and fair world, all the nations of the planet would isolate and treat the Chicoms like pariahs, starve them, and isolate them.  For them, the Chicoms mechanised this virus as a weapon, and aren't stopping at it, unitl they can milk it for every Yuan and politcal posturing point.

Geez I hate the f'n Chicoms.
