Politico: China admits its vaccines aren't very good
Chinese vaccines “don’t have very high protection rates,” said the director of the China Centers for Disease Control.
BEIJING — In a rare admission of the weakness of Chinese coronavirus vaccines, the country’s top disease control official says their effectiveness is low and the government is considering mixing them to get a boost.
Chinese vaccines “don’t have very high protection rates,” said the director of the China Centers for Disease Control, Gao Fu, at a conference Saturday in the southwestern city of Chengdu.
Beijing has distributed hundreds of millions of doses abroad while trying to promote doubt about the effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine made using the previously experimental messenger RNA, or mRNA, process.

WNU Editor: The official who made this claim .... Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Gao Fu .... is now walking back comments he made about the country's COVID-19 vaccines .... China official calls reports he said country's COVID-19 vaccines weren't very effective 'a complete misunderstanding' (The Week). This walk-back is not a surprise. China has already administered tens of millions of these vaccines, and they would look stupid and incompetent to say that they are not effective .... China administers nearly 165m COVID-19 vaccine doses, 2nd highest in world (CGTN).
Update #3: If these numbers from Brazil are accurate, this Chinese official's admission that his country's coronavirus vaccines are not up to par is accurate .... Brazil sees 1,803 COVID-19 deaths; Chinese vaccine found 50.7% effective against variant (Reuters).

The cat's out of the bag. Too late Xi.
I wonder what the future of Gao Fu is and how long.
Finally!!!!
You better believe the guy who made these remarks is "walking it back". He may be detained or dead already.
Speaking of Chinese goods; neither are their escalators. The videos of those things going wrong are horrific.
Shouldn't be a wonder why any original Chinese produced goods are defective or of poor quality. Any technology they produce is pirated off of Russian or US/Western products. Made by slave labor and produced in outrageous quantities - for a super low price of course. /and worth every penny.
