The answer we all want to know.. How good are the Chinese vaccines?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

One slightly alarming comment the guy says is that there is now evidence from Thailand that suggests the antibodies of people vaccinated with Sinovac may only last 3 months.
So I guess that answers the question "How good are the Chinese Vaccines?".
Too bad the Chinese didn't use the new approach like Moderna.
They may have had a decent product.

There is no perfect vaccine.

"Israel says Pfizer Covid vaccine is just 39% effective as delta spreads, but still prevents severe illness."

I’ll share my family and friends statistics and and stories about being immunised with Chinese vaccines. Mother in law, 6 brother in-laws + spouses + nieces, nephews,cousins and so on, probably around 50 in total. Through one brothers job he was able to get everyone access to be vaccinated early on. Same as our friends family, possibly 10 people so an overall count of 60 or so. Everyone took up the opportunity to get vaccinated with the exception of my mother in law, who listened to and believed all the conspiracy theory’s doing the rounds, mostly on opposition Facebook pages. Also the mother and father from the friends family resisted, the mother was immunised maybe 10 days ago and the father still didn’t believe it was something he needed to worry about. So, this week the shit hits the fan, mother in law gets taken by an ambulance to the COVID centre and tested positive. Put on oxygen and almost dead, brother that lives with her tests positive, but no symptoms, he is immunised. House is taped up and locked down. All immediate family tested and all negative, they were all immunised with Chinese vaccine. Friends father was admitted to the Russian hospital, put on oxygen and almost dead also, he tested positive to Covid, rest of his family tested and negative, all immunised with chinese vaccine.
Good news is both seem to be improving and off the oxygen.
So that’s my family stats. The Chinese vacs seemed to work well. I got my AZ shot today

One slightly alarming comment the guy says is that there is now evidence from Thailand that suggests the antibodies of people vaccinated with Sinovac may only last 3 months.

Also, herd immunity with vaccine alone is near impossible, it ought to be with a mix of vaccine and infection (mild ones) to achieve full protection. This shows the Zero-Covid policy as having serious limitations.

He also said the Zero-Covid policy could stretch out to 3 years! Sod that!

Not really; too much being made of anecdoteal comments in the media regarding perceived results of each vaccine to draw any firm conclusions

It was very revealing what he said about mixing the vaccines. No trials have been properly conducted and he could not recommend it. It is promising, but entirely untested. Yet Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysia (I think) are going to give a whirl anyway.

Let all the Oknas and army be the guinea pigs on that one, me thinks...
