This seems like a bad idea.

of course, but i'll guess they're running out of space, what else can they do?

Well you can't blame people to want the vaccine that is available and it has been tested, more so it's got the go ahead from the world health organization, where as the Chinese vaccine has not been approved and only to be used in an emergency situation. I do know of the countries that have been involved with it's progress.
Well I read now the AstraZeneca has been suspended in the capital, how silly, but then again nothing surprise's me here, next we will read about this, and the AstraZeneca vacation has been made available for the Chinese.
