I was a captive audience to someone talking about how some countries only had access to China’s vaccine. They said the vaccine was terrible and people took it and still got COVID.
But like… I took American vaccines and still got COVID…
…and over a million people in the US died of COVID, some of whom where vaccinated with US subsidized, corporate vaccines.
It was brought up because others were talking about global inequality during the pandemic. So having to take the subpar sinovac was apparently all part of global inequalities.
I hate talking about COVID and I feel like it’s so distracting and people try to make everything about COVID because it’s so easy to do. Maybe that is just a hot take but this argument that sinovac sucks because people still contracted COVID is at best a really lazy way to try to say US vaccines are better.
Also the same person implied masking prevents people from contracting the virus… instead of preventing you from spreading it to others like was repeated ad nasium by medical representatives for 2 years straight.
Just someone who doesn’t understand the purpose of vaccines, with a sprinkling of china hate for gold measure
Also, I thought masks did help prevent infection? Not a lot, the primary purpose is to prevent spread, but still a little
I have a “friend” that bought into the mRNA vaccine conspiracies and refused to get one. Says he would only support traditional vaccines. Tell him that’s what Sinovac was. Proceeds to go on an anti-China rant. Can’t with with these people. I’ve stopped trying to help them.
