SINOVAC VACCINE 98% EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING DEATH & 96% EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING HOSPITALIZATION, SAYS INDONESIAN STUDY AFTER CONDUCTING TESTS ON 120,000 HEALTHCARE WORKERS

Indonesian study finds Sinovac vaccine highly effective in medical staff
JAKARTA: China’s Sinovac Biotech Covid-19 vaccine was 98% effective at preventing death and 96% effective at preventing hospitalisation among a group of inoculated Indonesian medical staff, a study conducted by the country’s health ministry has found.




The findings were based on data from 120,000 healthcare workers in Jakarta who had received the vaccine between January and March this year, lead researcher and health official Pandji Dhewantara told a briefing on Wednesday.
Phase 3 trials of the vaccine, called CoronaVac, have produced varying results globally, but Pandji said the study found it also prevented symptomatic Covid-19 in 94% of the group.
“We see data from the task force that the incidence of morbidity and mortality for health workers tends to decrease,” health ministry official Siti Nadia Tarmizi said at the news conference.
Separately, data from the Indonesian Medical Association showed the number of doctors dying from Covid-19 has dropped significantly since Indonesia’s vaccine roll-out began this year.
In January, 64 doctors died due to the respiratory disease, the highest rate since the start of the pandemic, but that figure halved in February, and dropped to eight last month.
The promising findings come after Indonesia’s phase 3 trials showed the vaccine was 65% effective. Trials in Turkey showed it was 91.25% effective, while researchers in Brazil said it was 50.4% effective at preventing symptomatic infections.
CoronaVac is efficacious in preventing Covid-19 in adults under 60, but some quality data on the risk of serious adverse effects was lacking, World Health Organization experts found.
Indonesia has pushed hard to shore up vaccine deals to inoculate its large population but so far has largely relied on the Chinese vaccine due to global supply issues.
Almost nine million people have been fully inoculated so far, according to the health ministry, with Indonesia aiming to vaccinate 181 million people by January 2022.
Indonesia has suffered the highest number of cases and deaths from Sars-CoV-2 in Southeast Asia, with more than 1.7 million confirmed infections and 45,090 deaths, with the nation’s healthcare workers hard hit by the virus

Indonesia had purchased a lot of Sinovac vaccines. Even Jokowi used Sinovac for his photo ops.

Did you expect them to say anything else? :wink:

Indonesian police deny allegations of 'virginity testing' females — but they must be 'good looking'

Indonesia's police force has hit back at allegations that female recruits must undergo virginity tests, but confirmed that the women do have to be "not only pretty, but good looking".

Key points:
HRW claim female police recruits undergo invasive virginity tests
A senior police officer says many females are "average" but they all have "individual skills"
There are currently some 30,000 female police officers out of a total 461,000 officers
Last month, the ABC cited a Human Rights Watch report that found Indonesian women looking to become police officers in the country continue to undergo an invasive "two-finger" virginity test, despite international pressure to end the practice.

While the tests are not on the books as an official requirement, HRW and observers claimed that it was still conducted throughout the country under the guise of a "morality" examination.

The ABC also obtained a complaint filed by a woman who reported failing the invasive test and subsequently being denied entry to the force.

Indonesian woman Zakia — whose family name was not included to protect her identity — claimed the test was not conducted by a medical doctor, while adding that a female police officer also inserted her fingers into her anus.

Mr Wasisto denied these claims, but did confirm that "proportionality" examinations are conducted on both male and female recruits, which is reportedly a mixture of determining one's Body Mass Index in addition to a physical appearance and health inspection.

HRW responded to Mr Wasisto's denial saying that since their research earlier this year which involved senior police officials, they have still received complaints that the practice is continuing, and that they would welcome the prospect of jointly reviewing the recruitment process to confirm the virginity tests are not happening anymore.

Meanwhile, various studies on the recruitment processes in Indonesia reported that female recruits had to be "pretty, good girls", as a key part of their role involved mingling with the public and playing down the image of the corrupted, male police officer.

Mr Wasisto confirmed some of the female recruits had to be pretty due to nature of their roles.

"It depends on the recruits' task — if their task is [in PR] then of course we find someone that is good looking.

"Come to our headquarters, there are many female police officers who are average, but they all have their own individual skills."

The reports last month came on the heels of the growing "pretty policewomen" phenomenon — or, #polwancantik — as a trending buzzword on Indonesian social media users that's attracted hundreds of thousands of posts.

Mr Wasisto said there are currently some 30,000 female police officers out of a total 461,000 police officers in the country.

He emphasised that while they are still under-represented, they can also do the same tasks as men in the force.

China Sinovac Shot Seen Highly Effective in Real World Study
Bloomberg News
Wed, 12 May 2021, 3:42 pm·6-min read
(Bloomberg) -- Sinovac Biotech Ltd.’s vaccine is wiping out Covid-19 among health workers in Indonesia, an encouraging sign for the dozens of developing countries reliant on the controversial Chinese shot, which performed far worse than western vaccines in clinical trials.

Indonesia tracked 128,290 health workers in capital city Jakarta from January to March and found that the vaccine protected 98% of them from death and 96% from hospitalization as soon as seven days after the second dose, Pandji Dhewantara, a Health Ministry official who oversaw the study, said in a Wednesday press conference.

Dhewantara also said that 94% of the workers had been protected against symptomatic infection -- an extraordinary result that goes beyond what was measured in the shot’s numerous clinical trials. Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin earlier revealed a smaller version of the study involving 25,374 people in a Tuesday interview with Bloomberg that had the same effectiveness data for hospitalization and infection. Protection against death was 100% in the smaller group.

Are we living in the age of surveillance?
“We see a very, very drastic drop,” in hospitalizations and deaths among medical workers, Sadikin said. It’s not known what strain of the coronavirus Sinovac’s shot worked against in Indonesia, but the country has not flagged any major outbreaks driven by variants of concern.

The data adds to signs out of Brazil that the Sinovac shot is more effective than it proved in the testing phase, which was beset by divergent efficacy rates and questions over data transparency. Results from its biggest Phase III trial in Brazil put the shot known as CoronaVac’s efficacy at just above 50%, the lowest among all first-generation Covid vaccines.

A spokesman for Sinovac in Beijing said the company cannot comment on the Indonesian study until it acquires more details.

The Indonesian study compared vaccinated against non-vaccinated people to derive the estimated effectiveness. The median age of the participants is 31 years old.

In a separate interview with Bloomberg Tuesday, Sinovac’s chief executive officer Yin Weidong defended the disparity in clinical data around the shot, and said there was growing evidence CoronaVac is performing better when applied in the real world.

Places That Use Sinovac’s Shot

But the real-world examples also show that the Sinovac shot’s ability to quell outbreaks requires the vast majority of people to be vaccinated, a scenario that developing countries with poor health infrastructure and limited access to shots cannot reach quickly. In the Indonesian health worker study, and another in a Brazilian town of 45,000 people called Serrana, nearly 100% of people studied were fully vaccinated, with serious illness and deaths dropping after they were inoculated.

In contrast, Chile saw a resurgent outbreak after vaccinating over a third of the population of 19 million -- one of the fastest rates in the world, but not fast enough to stop the spread of the aggressive variant sweeping Latin America.

“The earliest group of people vaccinated in Chile are old people. Less than 15 million of doses given to Chile means only 7 million people can get our shots. That equals to only 36% of a population of 19 million,” said Yin. “It’s normal that the country sees a resurgence of infections as social activities increase among the younger people who are mainly not inoculated.”
