Sinovac : not looking good in Indonesia and other countries

[cclub75]

.... And this is the vaccine that is used in Thailand (more than AstraZeneca).

Well they are going to have so many vials of Sinovac here they can just keep injecting it every few weeks until they ratchet up the efficacy.

Incredibly misleading article, I wish people would think before posting <deleted> like this that may stop people from seeking a potentially life saving vaccine

 

”More than 350 doctors and medical professionals have contracted Covid-19 in Indonesia despite the majority of healthcare workers having been immunized with Sinovac”

 

there are over 40,000 doctors in Indonesia and 350,000 nurses, so what’s 350 out of 390,000?

0.09%

 

“Dozens of these were hospitalized, officials added”

 

let’s say it’s 3 dozen, what’s 36 out of 390,000?

 

0.01%

 

Just think before you post, please?

mmmmm, had a think and decided to add to the OP's post with the reuters article, thanks for asking us to take our thought process into consideration:

 

Hundreds of vaccinated Indonesian health workers get COVID-19, dozens in hospital

what both articles actually show, is that the Sinovac vaccine is extremely effective. 
 

do you think it’s a good idea to spin it a different way and discourage people from taking a potentially life saving vaccine?

Where's the spin? Sinovac save lives nobody is disputing that.

 

Sinovac is also one of the least effective vaccines currently being used in the world, to achieve herd immunity it takes far longer with more people needed to be vaccinated than any other vaccine. That is fact and these articles highlight that fact.

 

In addition where we have variants where Sinovac has never been tested before we need to be aware that it is not going to help quell the outbreak as quickly as we hope.

 

That is reality.

It's the same in Chile, where they've been using a lot of Sinovac and currently having a Covid wave. The figures actually suggest that hospitalizations and serious illness are primarily in the unvaccinated. People forget you can still contract Covid even if you've had two doses and can still count in the increasing number of cases. But the evidence in Chile is even Sinovac is proving effective against hospitalization and serious illness. People need to look deeper than just surface statistics.
