Coronovirus in the Philippines

Genuine in what sense?

If it is made in China and marked as such then it is a genuine Chinese product, I mean the reason they dominate world manufacturing is because things are made in China.

They designed their own vaccine, it is not made from fake atoms, it is the same real atoms that every other vaccine is made of.

Why not refuse to sell the vaccine to the Philippines, if they want to kill Filipinos that would be the easy way.

If the demographic and health profile were similar to the UK you could expect about a million Filipinos to die from Covid, the demographic and health profile are self evidently not the same as the UK, the Philippines is a young country of young people and deaths don't look that bad so far.

And to be blunt the Chinese are only pursuing Clinical trials in the Philippines as of the end of December, indeed the Sinopharm vaccine trials in the Philippines were abandoned and both Sinovac and Sinpharm have yet to apply for emergency use in the Philippines.

Ok so it took them months to make 15 Litres of fake vaccine vials from 15 Litres of water actually probably about 3 litres of water as the doses are about 1ml

Fair enough I accept that issue exists from this news report.

I would note that there are also reasons to doubt the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine as well, however the Sinovac Brazil results at least meet the minimum qualifying standard set by the WHO of 50% efficacy where Pfizer might only actually be 29% effective.

I agree that there is a lot of cheap poor quality products come out of China but a hell of a lot of perfectly good products are manufactured there as well, TCL for example make great TV's at a really good price.

Well ours is more than 1 years old and the Sony that we have as well did not last very well, it still works but several things went wrong with it after about 4 years, indeed the Sony power supply blew up after 8 months, all genuine Sony bought in SM Sucat.

There's one more point, do you remember back in the 60s when all toys you would get were made in Hong Kong and we would all slag off anything like that, indeed we used to slag off Japanese motorcycles as well, these countries are playing a long game and the stuff they make, copies or not, will get better and better over time.
