So tell us... 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? Let's see if you have the ability to walk through the intellectual basics of the situation.
And once again you are pushing nonsense --- Sinovac is not way comparable to Pfizer. "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."
Let's try this again: from your own sources: The inactivated inoculation, given to more than 10 million Chileans, was slightly less effective in preventing hospitalization and deaths than the mRNA vaccine, which was administered to fewer than half a million people, according to the study, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The research was conducted from February through May, when the alpha and gamma strains of the virus were the variants of concern most frequently detected in Chile. Preliminary data released in April found CoronaVac was 67% effective in preventing symptomatic Covid-19 infections and warded off 80% of fatalities from the disease. The final results suggest CoronaVac, the mainstay of Chile’s vaccination strategy, provides an effective shield against Covid-19, including severe disease, consistent with the results of mid-stage trials, the authors said. As of May 10, Chile’s Ministry of Health has administered almost 14 million CoronaVac doses, including enough to fully immunize 6.36 million people. In comparison, 2.4 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had been administered. Individuals 16 years or older are eligible to be immunized, according to the national vaccination schedule.
And yet Sinovac was less effective than all the other western vaccines in studies around the earth... whether you talk about preventing symptomatic disease, severe disease, or death. And these studies have now been done against a wide range of variants. Go read the links I posted.
"Sinovac's 51% efficacy only just exceeds the WHO's 50% efficacy threshold for Covid-19 vaccines and a lack of public clinical data to back up manufacturers' often inconsistent claims hampers public acceptance of the vaccine." China’s Sinovac Vaccine Under Scrutiny As Covid Soars In Highly Vaccinated Countries https://www.forbes.com/sites/robert...-highly-vaccinated-countries/?sh=50263cd31444 They Relied on Chinese Vaccines. Now They’re Battling Outbreaks. More than 90 countries are using Covid shots from China. Experts say recent infections in those places should serve as a cautionary tale in the global effort to fight the disease. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/business/economy/china-vaccines-covid-outbreak.html "In the Seychelles, Chile, Bahrain and Mongolia, 50 to 68 percent of the populations have been fully inoculated, outpacing the United States, according to Our World in Data, a data tracking project. All four ranked among the top 10 countries with the worst Covid outbreaks as recently as last week, according to data from The New York Times. And all four are mostly using shots made by two Chinese vaccine makers, Sinopharm and Sinovac Biotech." "“If the vaccines are sufficiently good, we should not see this pattern,” said Jin Dongyan, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong. “The Chinese have a responsibility to remedy this.”"
But still, apparently our stuff isn't working real well either. This is a totally different thing, but ya know smart folks knew for years that pediatricians and doctors over-prescribed antibiotics. They'd hand them out for damn near anything. Skin your knee... take these for two weeks. Stuffy head(?), here take these. It went on for 40 years. Know what happened? When people really needed antibiotics, like when they went septic or something, or maybe pneumonia in a cardiac patient, stuff like that.... guess what, the antibiotics didn't work because their bodies had become used to them. Not saying that's the case with... well we're on #3 now... but part of me says we are playing into this virus' hand. But again, not my wheelhouse.
from your first source: 2nd source 3rd source: 4th source 5th source: 6th source: 7th source: So I ask again:
US Pediatricians: Antibiotics are Over-prescribed to Children On an average, 10 million antibiotic prescriptions annually are unnecessary. This, according to Dr. Hersh, is a very disturbing trend. He suggests that doctors should “wait and watch”, when the diagnosis is not clear, instead of prescribing antibiotics straight away. He urges the parents and family members to question the doctor as to why he has prescribed antibiotic. It is better to bear with a mild infection and let it take its natural course, rather than taking antibiotic. This will make the antibiotic more effective in case of bigger infections later on.
