No more COVID vaccine development in China... Laking lugi...
Only the US companies left developing new vaccines with US government subsidies and guaranteed biliion of dollars in contracted orders made during the height of the pandemic.
China's CanSino seeks more vaccine contracts after AstraZenca deal
China's CanSino Biologics, which recently announced a contract manufacturing deal to support AstraZenca's messenger RNA (mRNA) technology vaccine programme, is in talks with more firms on similar deals, its CEO said, as it seeks new revenue streams to make up for plummeting COVID vaccine demand.
CanSino, whose one-dose COVID shot is approved for sale in countries including China and Mexico, saw its revenues soar in 2021 at the height of the pandemic, but like many of its peers its sales have since tumbled as demand waned.
CanSino heavily relies on COVID vaccines and meningococcal vaccines for revenue. On Wednesday, it reported a gross loss of 776.5 million yuan ($106.5 million) in the first half, mainly due to reduced COVID vaccine sales and write-downs of unsold COVID vaccines.
Yu expected no further significant writedowns involving unsold COVID vaccines.
The company has paused its clinical trials for mRNA COVID vaccine candidates, and will explore using the technology for other diseases. It is also looking at other uses for its factory in Tianjin which makes its COVID shot, Yu added.
It is now developing an inhalable vaccine against the zoster virus, as the inhalable COVID vaccine stimulated strong mucosal immunization and a robust immune response, Yu said.

What will I do with the N95 masks I hoarded sa US? It was so expensive pa naman. I'm not complaining though. I don't ever want to use N95 na
BTW, yung paranoid friend ko na mas paranoid pa sakin doesn't wear masks anymore. Kanina I went to the nail salon 100% maskless na. It seems like after the government made an announcement na lifted na covid restrictions was when the paranoids (like me) felt comfortable na not to wear a mask.
Pero I still wear a mask when I don't feel like wearing make up hehe

California Man Hospitalized After 'Mystery' Illness During Trip to the Philippines: 'It Is Traumatizing'
In early August, Armando Ramos, 53, left his home in Chula Vista, San Diego, to visit Manilla, Philippines, following the death of his mother.
While focusing on funeral arrangements, the father of three — who had no underlying health conditions — started experiencing flu-like symptoms, struggling with fatigue and a sore throat, according to ABC10 News.
Five days later, Ramos was rushed to the hospital.
The software engineer was initially diagnosed with pneumonia before being intubated and placed on a ventilator.
His condition continued to deteriorate, leading to a collapsed lung, inflammation in his brain, complications with his heart and liver, and the beginning stages of kidney failure, according to his family.
Ramos tested negative for COVID and the flu, and his family was only told that he has some type of respiratory infection. His daughters, Emma and A.J., admitted that they “feel helpless” without any answers, comparing it to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
probably got stuck in traffic and got sick from all the fumes he inhaled while here.

Recent data has indicated the booster could offer additional protection against currently circulating variants and especially protect against severe disease and death, particularly for those who are elderly or immune compromised.
