The original goal for vaccination was prevention of infection. The vaccine was seen as a panacea to save the world from this pandemic. Get vaccinated and not infected. This objective has since been proven a big failure with the Delta Variant having a ball of a time in the USA and UK and many parts of the world. The infection rate has exploded to a level that no one would ever think of playing it down or concealing this fact. It is officially admitted by the medical professionals all over that both the mRNA and inactivated virus vaccines are equally ineffective against the Delta variant.
The 95% efficacy of mRNA vaccines against the 70% efficacy of inactivated virus vaccines is now moot, irrelevant.
The other goal of the vaccines is that after vaccination, the illness would be less severe. In this regard, it was acknowledged that Sinovac vaccines are more effective in the prevention of hospitalisation and death. The new narrative for vaccination today is about prevention of falling too ill with vaccination.
Both the mRNA and inactivated virus vaccines are experimental drugs and approved for emergency use only with the former posing the threat of unknown adverse effects in the future and the latter less so. Given the new facts, that the vaccines are ineffective to prevent infection against the more infectious Delta variant but still useful to prevent serious illnesses, the narrative to be vaccinated is still the same. mRNA vaccines are preferred as they are more effective? Really?
The new surges and uncontrollable spread of the virus in the whole of the USA and UK are making a statement that even fully vaccinated with mRNA vaccines have proven futile. Does this ring a bell?
Should not a new narrative be in favour of Sinovac's inactivated virus vaccines for being more effective in the prevention of hospitalisation and death? Why stick to the gun that mRNA vaccines are still the preferred and recommended vaccines? At the very least, both vaccines are equally effective and should be recommended with Sinovac being the better of the two.
Why is the myth that mRNA vaccines are more effective still being perpetuated when it is no longer the case? If it is just to achieve a political end, it is a deadly end, a dead end for many that are prevented from using the more effective Sinovac vaccine.
What do you think? Dead mindset, dead end, which is more deadly?
And why keep flogging a dead horse, that unvaccinated people are more likely to spread the virus when the vaccinated are equally vulnerable to the virus and equally capable of spreading the virus?
