Nearly 37 million people in China may have been infected with COVID-19 on a single day this week, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing estimates from the government's top health authority.
From what I’ve seen, there has been independent testing that has shown that Sinovac is at least reasonably effective. It’s won’t completely stop a COVID-19 infection, but it is near 100% for severe COVID.
