China’s Domestic Wuhan Pneumonia Vaccine
Chinese Communist Party officials have announced that they will soon vaccinate people nationwide against Wuhan pneumonia. However, foreign media found that until now, the timetable for vaccination in China is still unclear, and numerous vaccination mapping surveys show that people are reluctant to get vaccinated.
Recently, pictures circulated on the Internet showed that the Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, Epidemic Prevention and Control Command issued an “Emergency Notice on the Supplementary Mapping of Vaccination against New Coronavirus (also known as Chinese Communist Virus, COVID-19) for Key Populations,” which requires that key populations be mapped according to priority based on the principle of “informed consent, free vaccination, and as much vaccination as possible. The notice requires all statistical staff of each department to conduct vaccination mapping according to the principle of “informed consent, free vaccination, and vaccination as much as possible. The notice asked each office to count and report the number of people. The results showed that no one from the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology had signed up. Other departments saw that no one from the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology had signed up for vaccination, and also said that no one had signed up for vaccination.

Another screenshot of a WeChat group chat shows that after an “urgent notice” was sent out asking all departments to report their vaccination lists, members of the group replied uniformly that they would not be vaccinated.
No one from Communist Party officials signed up for vaccinations.
Late last month, officials in Shanghai issued an emergency notice requesting information on health care workers willing to register for vaccinations, and a whopping 90.8% of them refused.
The news that people in the system and health care workers refused to be vaccinated sparked a public debate. One netizen bluntly said, “The officials of the Chinese Communist Party fool the people into taking high-priced fake vaccines, that are blown out of proportion, and when it is their turn two words ‘no’, because they know best in their hearts what kind of goods their organization is.”
There are also netizens speculate: “are waiting for the 100 million Pfizer vaccines.”
On the 16th, Shanghai Fosun Group made an announcement to purchase 100 million doses of vaccines developed by the German biotechnology company Baintech (BioNTech) and the U.S. Pfizer (Pfizer) in cooperation. Currently, Pfizer vaccines have been approved for marketing in the US and UK.
In stark contrast, none of the five Chinese vaccines have yet completed Phase III trials and received approval from the national drug inspection authorities. A few days ago, the Peruvian Ministry of Health also suspended clinical trials of the “Sinopharm” Chinese biologic Wuhan inactivated pneumonia vaccine in the country due to health problems in a volunteer.
In addition to the lack of trust in the quality of the vaccine, China also does not have a clear schedule for vaccination. The Voice of America reported that China could fall into an “immunization gap” if it lags behind in vaccination deployment and fails to meet the 70 percent immunization threshold for its population.
Reports in the mainland’s official media also acknowledge that if China’s Health and Welfare Commission estimates that the annual production capacity of domestic vaccines will reach 610 million doses by the end of 2020 and 1 billion doses by 2021, even if all of the vaccines are used domestically, two doses per person will only be enough by the end of 2021. 805 million people, or only 58% of the entire population, would be vaccinated.
