The Chinese COVID vaccine is not preventing much of anything in Chile after three months.
84% of the COVID vaccine doses administered in Chile to date have been Chinese. The effort began in earnest in early February.
44% have received at least one dose of any COVID vaccine in Chile since that time.
Unfortunately, daily new cases per million is still up 44% since the vaccination effort began in early February. And daily new cases per million remains highly elevated compared with the lows of last November, achieved naturally long before any vaccines were available.
Why isn't vaccination producing a low rate similar to that?
Meanwhile deaths per million is still up, 17% since early February when the vaccination effort began. The rate is more than twice as high as it was last November when no vaccines were available at all.
Yet China is distributing these things like hotcakes, over 100 million doses so far, and the WHO is authorizing them for emergency use for the first time.
WHY?
