NCID-MOH : People who take Sinovac vaccine at higher risk of severe disease from Covid-19

[UltimaOnline]

SINGAPORE - People who received two doses of China's Sinovac vaccine were more likely to develop severe disease from Covid-19 than those who got two shots of the mRNA-based Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, a new local study has found.

"This supports the need for three doses of Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine as a primary series," the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and Ministry of Health said in a joint statement on Wednesday (Dec 15).

Researchers found that the Sinovac vaccine was 60 per cent effective against severe disease, compared with 90 per cent for the Pfizer vaccine and 97 per cent for Moderna's.

SHANGHAI (BLOOMBERG) - As Covid-19 started spreading in Wuhan early last year, Chinese billionaire Guo Guangchang's drugmaker appeared to have scored a big win: A partnership with Germany's BioNTech SE, which went on to produce with Pfizer, one of the world's most successful vaccines against the coronavirus.

Yet almost a year later, the shot is yet to be approved in mainland China, and in recent weeks Beijing has thrown its heft behind a homegrown mRNA vaccine, allowing China's Walvax Biotechnology to test its own experimental shot as a booster.

The developments are raising new questions about whether the US-German vaccine, licensed for the potentially lucrative Greater China region by Mr Guo's Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group, will ever be used on the mainland, where President Xi Jinping's administration has backed a nationalist agenda on all fronts, including in the fight against the virus.

The delayed approval is the latest sign of how vulnerable Chinese tycoons - and their foreign partners - are to Beijing's political dictats. It also highlights the uncertain outlook for global drugmakers in China, the world's second biggest pharmaceutical market and a big one for Covid-19 products.

More than 1 billion Chinese have been inoculated with the traditional shots made by Sinovac and Sinopharm Group even though they have been found to be less effective than mRNA ones in scientific studies.

It's hard to tell when, if ever, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be approved for mainland China since regulators haven't publicly said why it's being held back, analysts say

Did Aguero take the Sinovac vaccination? He was forced into an early retirement. Many footballers and athletes suddenly have 'heart problems' these days, I still remember when cases like Fabrice Muamba's only happened once in a long while.

No doubt this will be blamed on a 'new variant' or the dirty unvaxxed again.

if coming from such "authority", pls ignore them for the sake of your health.

EU and US do not use Sinovac. Are the situations better in these countries? I don't think so.

 

[Sideswipe]

mRNA vaccines are no better than Sinovac. mRNA probably more toxic than Sinovac.

People who put their trust in these 'vaccines', mRNA or non-mRNA, ang moh or Tiong, are going to very disappointed, to say the least.

SINGAPORE - People who received two doses of China's Sinovac vaccine were more likely to develop severe disease from Covid-19 than those who got two shots of the mRNA-based Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, a new local study has found.........

Quote
"The study of 1.25 million...... 73.7 per cent of them had taken the Pfizer vaccine, while another 23.9 per cent had taken the Moderna vaccine. The remaining 2.4 per cent had been vaccinated with Sinovac."

I am not a statistician and never study statistics but isn't 2.4% too small a sample to be reliable and reach a meaningful conclusion?
Why never say those who took mRNA more likely to suffer severe side effects and give details on that-umbrage times indeed

 

[Patriotmissile]

Sure got agenda, within 1 month made 3, 4 negative reports. Why never talk about MRNA with its spikes hurting vessel membranes?

 

[Boliao]

The vaccines that Singapore bought is coming near to their expiration date?

Whatever you do, if you must, take the third dose of Sinovac.
Never ever take the mRNA Pfizer or moderna.
This piece is trying to brainwash you into thinking of switching to mRNA.
You will never read about adverse effects or dying from Sinovac, but many cases of serious vaccine injury from mRNA.

if 1 day they dont give you choice ?only can choose P or m mrna.you also lan lan.

You always have a choice.

No need to use other countries to compare. The MSM has painted S as extremely inferior stuff. Even some frogs in the well has been brainwashed by this fallacy. Just look internally locally. Since MSM all out to say S CMI, i only have 1 question. Since the day it was allowed to be administered here, why no reports of any of its users fully vaxed up lorry, need O2 or high dependency in the hospital??? You think the MSM will not jump on this opportunity to slam S in all forms of media?
No need to argue, just ponder on this question & you will surely be wondering.
I have said this to firm hardcore supporters of P or M, objectively, almost all replies are Hmmmmmm or Ya Hor

This newspaper report by Bloomberg published in the ST is misleading and unethical because it selectively quotes a research but leaves out pertinent information.
The newspaper says researchers from Hong Kong have found that 2 doses of vaccine from Sinovac or Pfizer does not produce enough neutralizing antibodies to protect against Omicron.
However, for people who have had 2 doses of Pfizer’s vaccine, a booster using the same vaccine “raised protection to adequate levels”.
For people who have had 2 doses of Sinovac’s vaccine, a booster using the same vaccine “did not produce sufficient levels of neutralizing antibodies to protect against Omicron”. However, a booster using Pfizer’s vaccine produced “significantly improved protective levels of neutralizing antibodies against Omicron”.
The newspaper comments that the results are a “blow to those who have received Sinovac’s vaccine”.
But what the newspaper did not mention is that the researchers found that Sinovac’s vaccine produces much higher levels of T-cell response which helps in destroying infected cells and are thus important in limiting severity and fatal outcomes. The researchers go on to say that this finding is consistent with high levels of protection against hospitalization and death in Sinovac’s vaccine observed in Chile and Turkey despite lower antibody neutralization.
And this last part in the research is crucial, but the newspaper conveniently left out. Studies of re-infection in animals have found that high levels of T-cell responses can compensate for inadequate neutralizing antibody response and are able to protect against different variants of concern. This, the researchers say, is the advantage of inactivated virus vaccine (Sinovac and Sinopharm) as they contain antigens that elicit strong T-cell response and may confer immunity.
Given the headline of the newspaper, “3 doses of Sinovac fail to protect against variant : Researchers”, most people would go away thinking that Sinovac’s vaccine is useless, which is not what the researchers are saying.
Newspapers are ultimately owned by entities with vested interest. The events they report, the slant in the analysis they carry as well as the one-sidedness of their reports, reveal the agendas of their masters.
