Covid19 - Why Singapore still refuses to include Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines in the national emergency scheme?

 In the early days of announcement of western and Chinese vaccines, the western pharma companies arrogantly declared that their vaccines were more than 90% efficacy. Chinese pharmas humbly declared their efficacies to be around 70%.  This immediately gave rise to the impression that western pharma vaccines were highly effective compare to Chinese vaccines, on paper and on self proclamation using their own data.

Western pharmas could easily doctored their data to suit their intent and purpose as the trials were conducted by themselves using their own select samples and at full liberty to include or exclude whatever sample, data or results they chose to have. Who was there to check on them to make sure they don't discard what they don't like and include what they chose to include to show a result that was near perfect?

It is like counting of votes, can choose to disqualify or include whatever according to the discretion of the counting officers. 

In China's case, they had to accept whatever data independent countries submitted as the trials were conducted in foreign countries. And some of the anti China countries could mess around with the data, could be bought to make the data less attractive.  China had very little control over the data submitted to them.

And some countries chose to accept these data wholesale, claiming that they did their own checks but no one actually disputed the claims of the pharmas. The data presented by the western and Chinese pharmas were more or less taken as the whole truth. The rest is now history.

Today, with more evidence of the effective of the vaccines on the ground, the Sinovac vaccine has proven to be no less effective than western mRNA vaccines, or at least both were equally ineffective to Delta variant virus. In fact Sinopharm vaccine has proven to be even more effective than the Pfizer, Moderna and Astrazenca vaccines or at least better, not worse off.

With these new evidence, why is the Singapore govt still adamant in not including the Sinovac or Sinopharm vaccines in the national emergency scheme? The people that chose not to risk using mRNA vaccines and wanting to use inactivated virus vaccines are getting very angry and suspicious of what is going on and why they are discriminated and forced to pay for non mRNA vaccines.

There are many unpleasant theories and reasoning in the market place about this sordid state of affair. Would the govt ever allow the non mRNA vaccines to be used officially and subsidised by the govt and those choosing these vaccines need not be discriminated and unfairly treated, and hurting their own pockets?

Why is the govt doing this to its own citizens, treating its own citizens so unfairly? Everyone has a right to choose what they would allow to be jabbed into their own body. The least is for the govt to let them have a fair choice and not dictating on the people what to be jabbed.

What do you think?

PS. The lesson of signing the silly CECA that tied the hands and legs and balls to allow Indians to flood this island was not learnt. Looks like there is another silly agreement in the mRNA vaccines that tied hands, legs and balls to prevent the use of Chinese vaccines. Who would be so silly to sign agreements that let the other party to control and limit one's freedom of choice?
