Chinese media's disclosure that Wuhan Pneumonia vaccine may increase severity retracted in less than a day

(31 Aug) On 30 August, Yicai Media published a report titled "Exclusive evidence: COVID-19 vaccine may cause aggravated immune response". An anonymous expert from the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center told the media, "our latest study found that ADE [antibody-dependent enhancement] exists and its prevalence is not low. The results of relevant studies are awaiting publication."

The expert admitted, "COVID-19 presents a risk of ADE, which will be a challenge for the vaccine but it will depend on the specific antigen it uses." He also claimed that earlier this month, the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration released the "(Preliminary) Guidelines for the Clinical Evaluation of Prophylactic COVID-19 vaccination", which did not mention the risk of ADE in vaccines. The reality is that many countries have continually deliberated on the ADE issue in COVID-19. As of yet, no in-depth studies exist in the world. He is unsure if his team's findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals. The report from Yicai Media was deleted a day after [its publication].

ADE is the acronym for "antibody-dependent enhancement". The presence of ADE means that after inoculation, the immune response in a portion of the population would exacerbate the disease. As the second wave of the Wuhan Pneumonia sweeps the globe, a man from Reno*, Nevada in the US is re-infected with symptoms much worse than the first time. Although it is still uncertain whether the "ADE phenomenon" caused it, scientists warn that if the Wuhan Pneumonia virus produces ADE, the mortality risk of the second wave will be much higher.

Editor's Note:
* The original article incorrectly states that the man's name is Reno.

Beijing hoses down its own vaccine propaganda

//mass vaccination would be unnecessary, as long as citizens keep wearing masks and maintain a safe distance from others in public venues.

//Beijing may have spread its propaganda too far and now must tell its people they would not need vaccines because their availability may not meet popular expectations.

//“Beijing may have realized that it can neither ensure absolute safety and effectiveness of its vaccines or ratchet up production in short order, so now it has to ask people like Gao to manage people’s expectations,”

//A colleague of Gao at CDC told state broadcaster China Central Television on Tuesday (September 15) that ordinary Chinese people can expect to get their shots as early as November.

//In August, Communist Party mouthpiece Guangming Daily quoted Liu Jingzhen, president of China National Pharmaceutical Crop (SinoPharm), as saying that the company, the largest state-owned drugmaker, could only turn out 200-300 million doses a year. 

//That output will fall short of domestic demand, not to mention Beijing’s pledges to donate vaccines to several Southeast Asian and African nations.

//in August Xinhua said in a feature story that the nation’s annual output would hit a billion doses.

//Hong Kong’s government has unveiled a scheme to procure doses for twice the entire city’s population. The city has reportedly budgeted more than HK$8.4 billion ($1 billion) for no less than 16.5 million doses from a wide swath of suppliers across mainland China and the West.

Brazil President Refused to Buy Chinese Vaccine

Brazil, where the COVID-19 epidemic is severe, plans to launch a national vaccination program. The authorities once stated that they would use a Chinese vaccine, but this action aroused public opposition. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that he would not buy the Chinese vaccine.

BBC reported that a Bolsonaro supporter urged the authorities not to buy coronavirus vaccine from Sinovac, a Chinese company, on social media, to which Bolsonaro responded, "We will not buy the Chinese vaccine." He added that the Brazilian authorities have not yet approved the use of Sinovac vaccine.

São Paulo Governor João Doria once said the federal government would include CoronaVac, the vaccine from Sinovac, in National Vaccination Program, and agreed to purchase 46 million doses for the citizen of São Paulo. The vaccination program was planned to begin in January 2021. The Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello said on Tuesday (20 October) that the authorities would buy CoronaVac, but Bolsonaro directly rejected it.

Chinese COVID vaccine with unknown effectiveness? Don't worry, Hongkongers are the guinea pigs, despite the reverse response on a Brazilian testee, and the corruption between the manufacturer and officials.

When Chinese official said the Chinese vaccines "don’t have very high protection rates" .... they make it sound like a news.
Well, the world already knew it, but thanks for coming out!
Then they suggest mixing vaccines! Not everything is suitable for cocktail therapy but I guess CCP just gonna to try it on people regardless ....
p.s. the "not very high protection rates" quote has been censored on Chinese media lol ....

p.s. a research in HK also shows that even 1 shot of Pfizer-BioNTech is better than two shots of Sinovac 🙃🙃

Vaccine itself is science; distribution of doses is not, especially when it’s in the hand of dirty party like #ccp. And frankly speaking the Chinese stuff are pretty useless too 🤣
