Sinovac vaccine 71% to 91% effective against Alpha variant, Thai study shows

[Thaiger]

Thailand’s Public Health Ministry says 2 doses of the Chinese-made Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine are 71% to 91% effective against the Alpha variant of the virus which was first detected in the UK. A study on the effectiveness of the Sinovac vaccine, also known as Coronavac, was done by Thailand’s National Communicable Diseases Committee and the National Vaccine Committee. The study was done in April and May when the Alpha variant, known as B.1.1.7, was prevalent. Researchers studied those in high-risk areas in Phuket, Chiang Rai and Samut Sakhon, which is just southwest of Bangkok, as well as public health workers. […]

hm... 

A study by Public Health England (PHE) shows that two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine were 60% effective against symptomatic disease from the Delta compared with 66% effectiveness against the Alpha. Sinovac is at least 30% less effective than AZ against original virus.

 

I let you do the math...

We are at the delta variant now and if he talk about effectiness then the people needs it for all variants like Beta and Delta! Foolish useless and dangereous propaganda on the costs of the lives and health of the people!

And on the same page of Thaiger News: Delta variant to become the dominant strain in BKK.
So, Sinovac is how effective against this variant?

A bit late to worry about the alpha variant. By the time the Thais get their act together even the delta variant will of long gone

If you're willing to bet your life on this study I have a *very* nice bridge over the Chao Phraya you might be interested in acquiring.

The health ministry are just reassuring us all on how stupid they really are. Not only is Sinovac next to worthless against the Delta strain it's looking as if the protection is very short-lived. Take a look at seashells with more than 60% of population vaccinated they are on a new wave. Prayer now giving booster shots. Other countries that went down sinovic Road are discovering the same problem. More evil work from the CPP you might think.

All of which begs the question as to what the impact would be if Delta ever gets loose in the PRC.

Maybe the PRC Sinovac is a different brew. It's China anything is posible.

More evil work? . . . Yes, maybe.
