CHINA UP WITH VACCINE ???

One of China’s front-running coronavirus vaccine candidates was shown to be safe and triggered immune responses in a combined early and mid-stage test in humans, researchers said. The potential vaccine, dubbed BBIBP-CorV is being developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products, a subsidiary of China National Biotec Group (CNBG). It has already been approved for an emergency inoculation programme in China targeting essential workers and other limited groups of people facing high infection risk.



However, whether the shot can safely protect people from the COVID-19 disease that has killed more than 1 million people worldwide will only become clear when final Phase III trials that are ongoing outside China are complete. BBIBP-CorV is one of at least 10 coronavirus vaccine projects globally to have entered Phase III trials, four of which are led by Chinese scientists according to the World Health Organization.


It did not cause any severe side effects, while common mild or moderate adverse reactions included fever and pain in injection sites, according to a paper published on Thursday in medical journal, the Lancet. The results came from a combined Phase I and Phase II trial involving more than 600 healthy adults conducted between April 29 and July 30. The study did not discuss whether the shot could elicit and maintain cell-based immune responses, another important weapon of the human immune system, which could be crucial if antibody-based immunity alone cannot stave off the virus.



Are these results real or fake?? Just like the spread of this Coronavirus which has left everyone shocked and locked in homes. Is it this time that China will win the trust of the world, or it is just another way to achieve world power? Think about yourself, stay home, and stay safe.
