Is there a Chinese anti-Covid vaccine circulating among the Chinese living in Naples? Wu Zhiqiang, spokesman for the Chinese community in Naples, seems to confirm this in a statement taken up by AvellinoToday: “We are aware that, within the Chinese communities in Campania, there has been some episode related to the arrival of the vaccine directly from China but let’s move away of what happened in a clandestine and illegal way ”.
The story of Chinese anti-Covid vaccines arrived in Naples
Sure, let it be known today The morning, the Guardia di Finanza has begun to investigate the matter and the soldiers of the provincial command have decided to carry out selective controls on packages from China and on refrigerators, storage materials and facilities for pharmaceutical products. In favor of the thesis of the clandestine landing between the Campania communities there are only clues and no evidence. One of them is the fact that since October 2020, only five cases of positivity of 5200 citizens have been registered. But the drug must be stored in special refrigerators and so far there have been no seizures of suitable materials. In any case, the GdF intends to intensify controls in ports, airports and customs.
The truth is that of the twelve vaccines that are currently being prepared against Sars-CoV-2 there are five from China. Sinovac Biotech’s Coronavac is in the final phase of experimentation: in June, phase 1 and 2 studies in 743 volunteers found no serious adverse effects and produced an immune response, even if the preparation is based on “old” technology of the whole virus. inactivated (also used to fight polio). Then there’s Sinopharm, a Wuhan-based state company, which uses the same approach. In June, CanSino’s administration to the military began. The adverse reactions recorded were defined as mild to moderate, with serious events ranging between 6% and 17% in the high dose group: pain, fever, headache, fatigue, also classified as serious, the most frequent but transient and self-limited.
But, Il Mattino explained yesterday, the response to the reduced number of infections among Chinese communities could have a simpler explanation. Or that of the “great attention of the Chinese in respecting the rules, never lower the mask and always sanitize your hands.” But there are also those who admit to having taken it: “In November I was vaccinated against Covid-19 in a hospital in China and now I am immune – GioiaWuang, a Chinese merchant in Rome, told Adnkronos – I’m fine, I had no fever or pain. No It is mandatory, anyone who wants to can do it. Since October the Chinese population has begun to be vaccinated against the Coronavirus and in Zhejiang, my region, there are no longer infected.
