I was a captive audience to someone talking about how some countries only had access to China’s vaccine. They said the vaccine was terrible and people took it and still got COVID.

But like… I took American vaccines and still got COVID…

…and over a million people in the US died of COVID, some of whom where vaccinated with US subsidized, corporate vaccines.

It was brought up because others were talking about global inequality during the pandemic. So having to take the subpar sinovac was apparently all part of global inequalities.

I hate talking about COVID and I feel like it’s so distracting and people try to make everything about COVID because it’s so easy to do. Maybe that is just a hot take but this argument that sinovac sucks because people still contracted COVID is at best a really lazy way to try to say US vaccines are better.

Also the same person implied masking prevents people from contracting the virus… instead of preventing you from spreading it to others like was repeated ad nasium by medical representatives for 2 years straight.

    Honestly not surprised this type of narrative gets thrown around with all the pro west propaganda despite all the covid deaths in countries with western vaccines. Western big pharma also has incentives to have their ‘products’ appear superior in any way.

    Even within the PRC there are tonnes of liberals who had spread loads of shit despite them being the ones who tried to force the government to open up and let covid run rampant because they wanted their “freedoms”. Liberal relatives of mine have said this type of shit lol:

    • As soon as government opened up, shit tonnes of people got infected and got sick, this is proof of Chinese vaccines being shit and doesn’t protect people like Pfizer ones for example
    • Because Chinese vaccines are useless, so many people are dying that morgues are filled and you have to bribe people to jump the queue, there are many people still living with their dead relatives at home

    Try to talk back to these liberals and they will call you pinko lol.
