Hindi rin sigurado ang China sa vaccine nilaChina Secures 1 Million Doses of BioNTech Vaccine - Bloomberg
A Chinese drugmaker has secured 100 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine co-developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, as the country seeks overseas shots in addition to home-made ones to ensure immunization for the world’s most populous nation.
Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group Co., which in March made an agreement with BioNTech to develop and market the mRNA shot in China, will make an advance payment of 250 million euros ($300 million) for an initial 50 million doses. The German vaccine maker will supply no fewer than 100 million doses for China by the end of 2021, Fosun said in a statement filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Wednesday.
While the shot is globally known as the one co-developed by Pfizer, the U.S. company is not involved in the agreement.
Experimental shots developed by domestic developers including state-owned China National Biotec Group Co. and Sinovac Biotech Ltd. are close to getting approved by Chinese drug regulators, with expectations for 1.6 billion doses to be churned out in 2021.
Yet the vaccines require two shots, and Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed to make any successful shots also accessible to the developing world. That will create a shortfall as China seeks to inoculate its 1.4 billion people, spurring the need for additional supplies.
AstraZeneca Plc has also inked a deal with a local partner to bring its vaccine to China. Meanwhile, several Chinese developers like CanSino Biologics Inc. and Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products Co. are also developing inoculations at an earlier stage, and their shots will boost domestic supply once they clear regulatory hurdles.
While trial results indicate the Pfizer-BioNTech shot is 95% effective against Covid-19, none of the Chinese makers has officially announced efficacy data yet.![]()

Bawal pag may allergies...
U.S. FDA investigating 5 allergic reactions after... | Daily Mail OnlineBritain's medical regulator has said that anyone with a history of anaphylaxis, or severe allergic reactions to a medicine or food, should not be given the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said that most Americans with allergies should be safe to receive the vaccine. It said only people who have previously had severe allergic reactions to vaccines or ingredients in this particular vaccine should avoid getting the shot.
On Friday, the FDA said the Moderna vaccine should not be given to individuals with a known history of a severe allergic reactions to any components of the shot.
The regulator is also requiring that appropriate medical treatments for immediate allergic reactions must be available when the shot is administered in case of an anaphylactic reaction.
Pfizer could not be immediately reached for comment.

Who gave lead role to Chinese vaccine?
POSTSCRIPT - Federico D. Pascual Jr. (The Philippine Star) - December 20, 2020 - 12:00am
We reiterate the question asked last time: Who makes the big decisions in the multibillion-peso mass vaccination program? Is it General Carlito Galvez Jr., since he is the “vaccine czar,” or Health Secretary Francisco Duque by virtue of his office, or President Duterte himself?
Galvez the soldier does not look like he was the one who ordered it, more like the one ordered to do it. Neither does Dr. Duque appear powerful enough to pull something like that, unless instructed.
Was it President Duterte then? Nobody is talking. But then, assuming it was Duterte who told Galvez to move Sinovac to the head of the line of suppliers, what can anyone do about it?
Early on, Duterte told the nation he did not like the law requiring that government purchase orders be given to the lowest qualified bidder. He said the lowest-bidder rule leads to corruption, and he knows what he is talking about.

U.K. Imposes Harsher Lockdown on London, Citing New Version of Virus - The New York Times
Preliminary findings suggest that it is spreading so fast in Britain that it is quickly displacing dozens of competing versions of the coronavirus that have been circulating for longer.
“This spread is happening at a moment in time when there are already many lineages circulating, and despite that it is displacing them all,” said Kristian Andersen, a geneticist at the Scripps Research in La Jolla, Calif. “We can’t say for sure, but to me it looks like this very explosive growth is primarily because” of its new mutations.

ito ang concern
the virus is mutating (of course)
since RNA virus ang sarscov2 mabilis mag mutate yan
keep in mind that current vaccines like pfizer, moderna, oxford etc are designed using Jan 2020 variant of the virus
by the time vaccines become widely available in 2021/22 baka iba na ang circulating variants
baka bumaba ang efficacy ng mga vaccine
so by the time people get vaccinated with current vaccines laos na mga yan kasi iba na ang usong variant
need to make new vaccines for newer variants
kaya huwag masyado excited mga tao at gobyerno

there's real concern about the new UK variant coz of mutations to the spike including the receptor binding domain
keep in mind all western vaccines were designed to make antibodies to the spike
those were developed several months ago
-
separately, i've come across news that there are mutants that are able to escape Regeneron's therapeutic antibodies
