Fully vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna only require two doses which are given a few weeks apart. This is the very definition of fully vaccinated with the initial application of these vaccines (and others) to provide a level of efficacy which significantly protects against all current Covid variants. Sinovac has such low efficacy they are requiring three doses from the get-go to be considered fully vaccinated.
Since the day the first generation of Covid vaccines were introduced they stated that boosters would be required every year as vaccinated anti-body immunity waned. The requirement for a booster should not be a surprise for anyone. Fortunately they are working on a universal, permanent Coronavirus vaccine which is expected to be available within the next five years (which I have documented with multiple articles on this thread). We may be inching closer to a vaccine against all coronaviruses It could help us prevent future pandemics -- and fight some that are already problematic. https://www.zmescience.com/science/vaccine-all-coronaviruses-20102021/
You’re playing stupid word games. Sinovac requires 3, our mRNA’s require 2 plus a booster is recommend, specially for older or with health problems. The booster they are recommending is not an annual booster. You bash Zerohedge for exaggerated headlines yet you resort to the same tactics. It’s called hypocrisy.
Studies show Sinovac's been fairly effective at preventing hospitalizations and death (I've posted it). GWB has chosen to ignore this.
Let's try this again... How many doses of Sinovac are required in Singapore to be considered fully vaccinated? How many doses of Pfizer are required in Singapore to be considered fully vaccinated?
And I provided extensive information on Sinovac showing the results of studies in South America and elsewhere showing it is a lot less effective than Astra, Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J --- against original Covid & the variants. Go back and read it.

You have any factual statements to make about the results of studies using Sinovac -- many of them comparing results directly in countries against other vaccines in the same time period. Go read the articles I posted -- go read the linked studies. The ineffectiveness of Sinovac compared to other Covid vaccines has been widely investigated and noted. Let's take a look at the actual results comparing Sinovac and Pfizer in Chile.. "Sinovac Biotech Ltd.’s vaccine was less potent than Pfizer Inc.’s at stopping Covid-19 in Chile where the two shots were used simultaneously, allowing the first real-world comparison of the two inoculations" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-found-inferior-to-pfizer-shot-in-chile-study Chilean study shows variations in success of COVID-19 vaccines https://www.reuters.com/business/he...eventing-illness-chile-real-world-2021-08-03/ Sinovac's COVID-19 vaccine was 58.5% effective in preventing symptomatic illness among millions of Chileans who received it between February and July, the Chilean health authorities said on Tuesday, while Pfizer's COVID-19 shot was 87.7% effective and AstraZeneca's was 68.7% effective.
