ASEAN distances from China's Covid vaccine diplomacy

China deliberately delayed divulging details of the genetic material of the coronavirus, that originated in Wuhan at the end of 2019, which had handicapped efforts of other countries to develop a vaccine to fight the pandemic.

Beijing has been looking for support to ward off international pressure for an independent investigation into the origins of the virus in China which would expose the dubious role that it played in concealing information that could have saved thousands of lives worldwide. With the US blaming both China and the WHO for not disclosing the true facts about the dreaded virus, China is keen to replace Washington in playing a bigger role at the international organisation.

China says batshit virus might have originated in India ....

In research preprint, Chinese scientists claim COVID-19 may have originated in India or Bangladesh

The scientists have argued that since India and Bangladesh reported the least number of mutations and are neighbouring countries to China, the Indian subcontinent may be the origin of the first COVID-19 transmission

Ignore, they have blamed all sorts of other countries for this, from America to Italy to Serbia.

Leaked documents show China bluntly lied about Covid-19 and mishandled early pandemic

Coronavirus was first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan's Hubei province in China. The deadly virus since then has infected more than 63.2 million people and led to over 1.47 million deaths around the world, according to John Hopkins University coronavirus resource centre.Also read...

Good news. BioNTech is making their stocks from India only right?
If the vaccination starts early in UK and it shows good results then we can start vaccination in India also.
Bad news stuck my team also today. One of the team member's complete family (Mom, dad, wife and two kids) tested positive.

Nop i don't think BioNTech is making vaccines in india.
But covishield is also going to seek permission for emergency use let's see how does that go.

COVID-19 vaccine: SII CEO Poonawalla makes big announcement after PM Modi visit

SII CEO Adar Poonawalla said that his company will seek permission for emergency use authorization of 'Covishield' in the next two weeks.

I think i got confused with Bharat BioTech with BioNtech.
But oxford was working with SII. I think Covishield is based on Oxford's vaccine.

Point to ponder. Do we Indians really need a vaccine?


On the face of it, can't fault his logic! But the whole point of vaccinations is for the prevention/immunization of Covid. Harbajan's point is recovery after being infected. So yes, we do need the vaccine to prevent infection.

Yeah, we need that. One of my colleague who contracted the virus and mostly remained asymptomatic passed away 5 or 6 months after recovery due to a brain stroke. He was in his late thirties

The point is if good chunk of the population is vaccinated they won't transmit the virus.

do we have any data on reinfections post recovery..... I know of a b,lore lady who caught the bat virus again after recovering .... researchers have also ruled out herd immunity...if i remember correctly...

Maybe she has a compromised immune. From what I understand, immune system has memory cells (not sure but I think they're called B-cells?) that memorize the proper response to a particular infection so that they can activate the adaptive immune system to re-release the proper configuration of T-cells en-masse when a reinfection is about to occur, thereby enabling a swift end to any type of virus.bacteria that enters and tries to re-infect the body for a second time.
And I remember reading that Covid-19 memory cells do have a long life-span (more than 1 year). So if she was re-infected, it might be due to her immune system being especially weak.

This re-infection appears to be the exception, rather than the norm.

Two to three mutated strains running wild.
Anti body for one strain might not be enough for the other.

Just my hypothesis.

There is nothing unusual in this. around 20-23% of people do not form the covid antibodies or the level of antibodies is very low. These people can surely get infected again.

Strains are not big deal. There are always strains of any virus around. Thats why RNA vaccine are being developed that will take care of entire virus family.
When HIV was first discovered, scientists were finding upto 50K mutations every week. These mutations does not make HIV into another virus, it broadly remains same.

If you believe the chief scientist at Pfizer, we DO NOT need any vaccine ...
So bhajji has a point there ...
