China's Vaccine Diplomacy In Question As Countries Using Sinopharm, Sinovac Jabs Witness Surge In Covid Cases

ABP News  

Washington: Several nations, including Mongolia, Seychelles and Bahrain, which had relied on the Chinese Covid-19 vaccines to combat the pandemic and bring back normalcy, are now battling a surge in infections. The examples from several countries suggest the Chinese vaccines may not be very effective at preventing the spread of the virus, particularly the new variants, The New York Times reported. Asserting it did not see a link between the recent outbreaks and its vaccines, China’s Foreign Ministry in a statement recently said: “Relevant reports and data also show that many countries that use Chinese-made vaccines have expressed that they are safe and reliable, and have played a good role in their epidemic prevention efforts.” The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines have efficacy rates of more than 90 percent. Vanderbilt University’s National Foundation for Infectious Diseases Medical Director William Schaffner said the efficacy rates of Chinese shots could be low enough “to sustain some transmission, as well as create illness of a substantial amount in the highly vaccinated population, even though it keeps people largely out of the hospital”.
