From the people who brought us the flu in the first place ...
/Well, who should know better how to prevent it? China will only admit visitors who have been injected with the Chinese government’s own “vaccine”.
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.
“I don’t see what the problem is”, White House Spokesman on China Affairs Hunter Biden told FWIW. “My friends over there assure me that the vaccine is the very best one in the world because it was developed from genuine Whuhan Bat blood. Anyone who says different, it’s off to jail. Besides, the Big Guy’s getting a 10% cut on sales, so there’s that”.
