Chinese Doctor Says Sinopharm Covid Vaccine ‘Most Unsafe in World’ with 73 Side Effects, Then Backtracks

News 18  

A Chinese vaccine expert has caused controversy by saying that the Covid-19 vaccine that has been rolled out in the country is “the most unsafe in the world” and has as many 73 side-effects. Dr Tao Lina from Shanghai announced the shortcomings of the jab developed by Beijing’s state-run drugmaker Sinopharm to his 48 lakh social media followers on Tuesday, Daily Mail reported. A screenshot of the doctor’s post shows that he had mentioned that none of the vaccines in the world ‘had more side effects’ than the two-dose COVID-19 regimen from Sinopharm and described its potential adverse impact as “unprecedented”. China had approved Sinopharm’s Covid vaccine for general public use on December 31, but no detailed efficacy data of the vaccine was publicly released but its developer. The South China Morning Post newspaper reported that China would vaccinate as many as 50 million people from high-priority groups before the Lunar New Year holiday in February.
