Ukrainians reacted critically to the state’s intention to buy a drug from Sinovac Biotech (China) for vaccination against coronavirus at the highest price: $ 18 per dose.
They shared their thoughts on this in OBOZREVATEL’s article on their Facebook page. In particular, people were outraged not only by the price, but also by the choice of the vaccine manufacturer.
So, in the comments, some netizens wondered why Ukraine decided to order the Chinese vaccine, while most European countries, the United States and Canada are vaccinated with the one that showed great efficiency and was approved by the World Organization of Health (WHO), from Pfizer & BioNTech.
“Why not in English”, “First we must check the deputies, otherwise you never know what”, “Why already the Chinese”, “Because the price is one, but the documents will be different. It is easier to steal with the Chinese “,” Well, yes, all of Europe is being vaccinated with the “bad” American vaccine, and we, as always, are “the best”: the Chinese one! “- the subscribers asked.
Commenting on the price of the drug, the Ukrainians suggested that the purchase of the vaccine could repeat history with protective masks, which were bought cheaply, but at first there were not enough in stores and pharmacies.
“Fuflomycin for third world countries at horse price”, “Fuh, at least we have free COVID”, “Is it like a mask? We bought it for a penny, we sold it for a penny. Well done … maybe enough? “,” The richest or vice versa, the worst “,” Well, we have the richest country “,” Shit, Israel bought Pfizer and Moderna for 25 euros. 1 million have already been vaccinated “,” In China it costs 5 dollars “,” They do not save anything for ordinary people “, – noted netizens.
At the same time, some Ukrainians supported the choice of the vaccine, emphasizing that on such an issue, efficiency is important, on which saving lives depends.
“Make no pretense, my dear. I am not a supporter of this authority, but I am for the truth. The cost of the vaccine and the cost of storage need to be offset. So … $ 18 per dose is just the beginning. Here you have to add the wild cost of the cryogenic equipment for the delivery and storage of the vaccine. So, consider it well! “,” Well, here it is clear: if you want concessions from the seller, pay the price (there is demand). this case, I think all is well for ours. It is not the same scale of values for the efficiency of the premium … and the lives saved “, – commenters added.
