China’s CDC director sharply changes his tune after admitting that Chinese-made vaccines are less effective

Gao Fu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Gao Fu, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bluntly stated in a conference in Chengdu on the 10th that the protection rate of the Chinese Communist Party’s virus vaccine was low, which sparked a discussion.

The protection rate of China’s Kexing vaccine against symptomatic infection with the new coronavirus is only 50.4%. This is far lower than the vaccines produced by other countries around the world.

According to the Associated Press, Gao said in a meeting in Chengdu on Oct. 10 that the Chinese vaccine’s protection was not very high, and because Beijing has not approved any foreign vaccines for use in China, Gao said he was formally considering whether different types of vaccines should be used for vaccination.

However, in an interview with the Global Times on the 11th, Gough categorically denied the claims, saying “this is a total misunderstanding. He responded that during a global discussion among scientists on the efficiency of vaccine protection, he proposed a future scientific thinking that if vaccine efficiency is to be improved, it can be further enhanced by optimizing vaccination procedures and using different technical routes for sequential vaccination.
