Popular Post webfact Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 As many as 110 bottles of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine have been found to contain a lump of transparent gel, which did not go away after being shaken. It is believed to be caused by the vaccine being stored at an inappropriate temperature, according to Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA). The bottles in question were found at some vaccination sites and have been returned to the TFDA, which has called for the suspension of the administration of any bottles of Sinovac’s CoronaVac vaccine which are found to contain lumps and notification of such discoveries. The TFDA has sent a letter, dated yesterday (Monday), informing all provincial health offices and hospitals across the country, administering Sinovac vaccine, to beware of the C202105079 batch, produced on May 10th and which expires on November 9th, and that it may contain a gel-like substance.

So how many of the vaccines have in reality been stored at an inappropriate temperature, and rendered useless, that didn't turn into gel yet. Very unlikely that it were just 100 vials, but more likely a complete delivery 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grumbleweed Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 Either the Chinese vaccine was substandard, or Thai health officials don't know what a thermometer is. As the Thais are going to be afraid of pointing the finger at their friends, and no boffin is going to hold their hand up, the cleaners and receptionists better get ready to accept the blame 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the sinovac's fault in this case, most [if not all] of the available vaccines need to be stored at precise temperatures. Things will go wrong with them all if this is not done-at least here there is a visual clue all is not well in this regard.

That is what you see, what you don't see is how many times the same food as been tawed between the factory where they were produced and the freezer in your supermarket. Why you think it is different in this case? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nojohndoe Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Is it an optical illusion that the top of the vial in the focused segment of the picture looks a bit skewed and the top of the contents is sitting at an angle ? Or is that the jelly blob? Whatever is the situation it is sad that such a presentation to accompany the news is going to promote more fear and distrust . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it can happen to sinovac, it can happen to AZ. All of which is very worrying when it’s due to negligence from the worlds 5th best rated healthcare system……allegedly. seriously, this worries me more than all the theoretical talk of vaccine efficacy against this or that strain. A straight forward bungling at point of delivery is far more close to home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but it did not....between Sinovac and locally produced AZ, which might be more likely to be spoke ill of, just say, to explain failures of vaccine supply, or progress in getting inoculations done?
