Cambodia rejects Chinese vaccine: We are not trash cans

Wuhan pneumonia (CCP virus, COVID-19, COVID-19) is rampant all over the world, and countries are pouring into vaccine research and development. Currently, China has also produced several vaccines and conducted “vaccination experiments” in other countries. Meanwhile, China has promised to southeast Asia, Africa and other developing countries that China will give priority to these countries when the vaccine is ready for distribution. Unexpectedly, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has always been close to China, showed no gratitude. He made it clear on April 15 that he would only use internationally recognized vaccines, and said bluntly, “Cambodia is not a garbage can, nor is it a vaccine laboratory”.

Chinese communist Party officials said the vaccine had entered “clinical trials” and that no “adverse reactions” had been reported in many countries, assuring repeated assurances that the Chinese vaccine was safe and effective. However, Brazil fired the first shot in October, considering that China’s criteria for granting emergency use authorization were not transparent and did not have access to information on China’s current decision-making criteria, and decided to refuse to use it, saying that it would “refuse to be a Chinese white rat”. Peru also said on December 12 that a volunteer’s arm became “difficult to move” after receiving a vaccine developed by Sinopac, and that it had temporarily suspended clinical trials of the vaccine.

For China’s commitment to the future will give priority to the vaccine for use in southeast Asia, Africa, the position has always been the hun sen also ungrateful, he said 15, Cambodia has been through the international platform “COVID – 19 vaccine global system” (COVAX), purchase the first batch of 1 million doses of vaccine, stressed that Cambodia will not use without the approval of international recognition, the world health organization (WHO), at the same time ensure that Cambodia won’t vaccine trials, an outspoken “Cambodia is not trash can, nor is it a vaccine experimental field”.

Political commentator Wang Juntao said Hun Sen’s remarks indirectly reflected his “distrust of Chinese vaccines” and wanted to show the Chinese government that the vaccines they were promoting were not produced according to international professional standards and that Cambodia would not buy and use chinese-produced vaccines until they were fully effective.

Cambodia’s platform for purchasing vaccines, the Global Access Mechanism for COVID-19 Vaccines (COVAX), is co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), and the Epidemic Response Innovation Alliance (CEPI).
