Is The Sinovac Vaccine Effective Or Safer?

Is the Sinovac coronavirus vaccine safer than Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna? Does it protect against the COVID-19 Delta variant – and if you got this vaccine, would you need a booster shot of a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine?

Public health and infectious disease experts, Dr Loh Jiashen from Farrer Park Hospital and Dr Danny Soon, Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccinations, Singapore answer questions on the safety and efficacy rates of Sinovac and distil the difference between the inactivated virus vaccine and the mRNA vaccine.

Dr Dicky Budiman, policy adviser for COVID-19, Indonesia, also explains why healthcare workers in Indonesia are given booster shots of the Moderna vaccine after being vaccinated with Sinovac.

They need more time to fine tune the older tech vaccine. While the newer types need more time to see the long term effects of mrna and lipid membrane to the body.

Dont just compare indonesia. Look at the current state of Israel & Usa. CNA SHOULD REPORT THOSE BREAKTHROUGH CASES TOO! At times i wonder whats CNA motives for being one sided?

[danieltam]

The doctors interviewed in this video appear to be opinionated favoring Western vaccines based on their political stand or economic consideration, perhaps?

[MrGoeish]

Look at countries that have high vaccination rates, yet have high cases of covid, the USA, Europe, UK, Singapore. They use the same vaccines : Pfizer and Moderna. Look at countries that do quite well, mostly they use Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines.

One thing they dont tell you.. detailing the myocarditis. the inflamation of heart muscle. This is my opinion only which i try to figure out from connecting the dots. Any doctor/medical background feel free to object and thus we all learnt. The mRNA mostly stay at injection site and nearby lymph nodes. The hand muscle 'grow' this surface spike protein that immune system react. Very few mRNA travel faraway from injection side. however it does happen, and especially with strenuous exercise. when it travel to heart muscle and grow there, the heart muscle get attack by immune system and inflamed. that is myocarditis. or pericarditis if just the lining cell. Hence the advisory, dont exercise for 2 weeks, take this seriously! The most important info is the heart muscle DONT grow back, so this is permanent damage that could shorten your lifespan.

Very clever way of story-telling. First they tell us the positive point of sinovac and then they bombard us with all negative points of sinovac to make us come to conclusion that: you'd better go for m-rna!

[stevelaw]

It's August already, by now most Vaccine maker proposes a third shot.. USA is the first country to firmly suggest the idea, why CNA doesn't cover a single bit about that?? Btw, Pfizer efficacy against delta is around 40% (early study israel). update pls.. use old data, you not reading the news?

[syneresis]

Hundreds of workers out of many?? Come on, show us the entire thing.

[sorrowhill]

If pfizer is so good, why the CEO didn't bother to vaccinate himself?

[arthurjohnson]

The actual efficacy of Sinovac is 83.5%, as shown in a peer-reviewed clinical trial study published in The Lancet on July 8, 2021. The "51% efficacy" value was not part of a peer-reviewed clinical trial study. It was just an on-line pre-print that the authors apparently chose (for whatever reason) not to submit to peer-review.

[kelsryosun]

Efficacy also depends on your own health and immune system. I was infected in July (it was hell) and 3 months have passed so I will opt for Sinovac at a private clinic.

[supriatinsup]

I prefer sinovac than pfizer... Because it is more safe and halal

[johnny-ihes]

Even C N N must give credit where credit is due. China could be the world's first country to control a major delta outbreak.

[charleshu]

I will take this report as one achievement of the US vice president's visit

[wyodragon]

Comparing the number of new cases in Chile (where mostly Chinese vaccines are used) and in Israel (where only Pfizer vaccine is used) shows that the Chinese vaccines are more efficacious than the Pfizer vaccine.

[azabujuban-hito-dake]

Im really interested in Sinovac, but here in Japan we only have either Pfizer or Moderna. No other option available.

[jeff-mnnm]

The best vaccine is the one a person chooses of his own free will. It's pointless to insult people's intelligence when it comes down to health issue. To each his own choice.

[ForgottenSomething]

It's just confusing that the US and Israel recommended booster shots, But still has many fully vaccinated people who died, while China had a surge due to the delta Variant, no one died and take note they didn't take booster shots🤔

[jazminpenada]

can i get another covid vaccine after sinovac ?

[vangogh]

mRNAs long term effects have not been studied.
