China approves first home-grown mRNA Covid vaccine

China has up to now largely relied on home-produced vaccines like Sinopharm
China has approved its first home-produced mRNA Covid vaccine, months after ending strict pandemic rules.
Drug regulators cleared the vaccine, developed by CSPC Pharmaceutical Group, for emergency use, the company said.
China's labs have been trying to create an mRNA vaccine for years - the country refused to clear foreign-made ones for widespread domestic use.
Studies show Chinese vaccines have been less effective than mRNA shots in preventing deaths and severe illness.
The slow expansion of China's vaccine rollout, coupled with its lack of an mRNA vaccine, fuelled the implementation of its "zero-Covid" policy, which included unprecedented lockdowns and was dropped after protests late last year.
China has mainly used only its domestically produced vaccines: CoronaVac, made by a company called Sinovac, and Sinopharm.
Both use parts of a dead coronavirus to expose the body to Covid and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies.
The mRNA technology was used commercially for the first time in Covid vaccines. The jabs use a molecule of genetic code called messenger RNA to generate an immune response. That trains the body to fight off the real virus when it comes into contact with it.
CSPC said the vaccine showed good results in a trial when used as a booster vaccine for those who had already received other shots.
The incidence of adverse events was "substantially lower" in the elderly group compared with the adult group, it said.
The news comes as cases fall in the world's most populous country. Last month, China's top leaders declared a "decisive victory" over Covid.

Chinese brehs just need to accept the US vaccine and quit trippin. This ain't the time to be trying to invent your own stuff and experiment when the US already got something that works and are offering it to you, you idiots.

<a href="Florida officials deleted data, stats from dubious COVID analysis: report
Enlarge / Florida surgeon general Joseph Ladapo speaks at a press conference.
Florida health officials deleted key data and statistics from a state analysis on the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, falsely making them appear unsafe for young men, according to draft versions of the analysis obtained by the Tampa Bay Times through public records requests.
The final analysis, which was widely criticized for its poor quality and dubious conclusions, was the basis for a statewide recommendation by Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo last October that young men, ages 18 to 39, should not receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The analysis—posted on the Florida Department of Health's website with no authors listed—claimed to find "an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination."
Ladapo, who has a history of fearmongering about COVID-19 vaccines, touted the analysis, saying in a press release at the time that "these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”
But according to draft versions of the analysis, the state epidemiologists who worked on the report came to entirely different conclusions.
The draft version contained data that showed that getting COVID-19 posed a far greater risk of cardiac-related deaths than that from mRNA vaccines. Specifically, the incidence of cardiac-related deaths from infection was more than 10 times higher than from the vaccine in people ages 18 to 24 and more than five times higher for people 25 to 39. This data is in line with many peer-reviewed, published studies but was omitted entirely from the final analysis announced by Ladapo.
Also omitted was a sensitivity analysis that showed that the risk of cardiac-related deaths in young men was not significant. The final version drew flak for not including a sensitivity analysis, with the core conclusion of risk in young men hinging on just 20 deaths. A sensitivity analysis is a means to essentially evaluate the robustness of a finding, and it was present in three versions of the draft analysis but not in the final one.
“It’s a double-check that didn’t confirm that finding,” said Jonathan Laxton, a physician and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Manitoba, who reviewed the drafts for the Tampa Bay Times.
Overall, the draft versions of the analysis written by state epidemiologists supported the use of mRNA. “The risk associated with COVID-19 infection clearly outweighs any potential risks associated with mRNA vaccination,” one version states.
Matt Hitchings, an infectious disease epidemiologist and professor of biostatistics at the University of Florida, who also reviewed the drafts for the Times, told the outlet that the excluded data was akin to academic dishonesty. "You can call it a lie by omission," he said."></a>

Here goes the media panic
Yall know that Covid is still catching bodies out here, right?
The funny thing in retrospect is that Japan handled this shyt much better than the US because they understand public health and didn't get into a completely retarded debate about individual freedom and conspiracy theoriesSaw cheap flights for Japan in December yesterday and was going to book then I realised it was because of this shyt
Think I'll wait

We have more populating and better recording then 1918 right? I don't think it was that much different pro rata.

Florida GOP lawmakers confirm Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo
BY CBS MIAMI TEAM
MAY 4, 2023 / 12:58 PM / CBS/NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Ron DeSantis' reappointment of state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo was confirmed Thursday by the Republican-controlled Senate over objections from Democrats.
The Senate voted 27-12 along party lines to confirm Ladapo, who was first appointed in September 2021.
Sen. Tina Polsky, D-Boca Raton, criticized Ladapo before Thursday's vote, pointing to a report in the Tampa Bay Times about a controversial recommendation by Ladapo that young men not receive COVID-19 vaccinations because of risks of cardiac complications. Polsky said Ladapo omitted information "that showed it is "more dangerous to get COVID than to get the vaccine" for the young men.
"If we just blindly vote through this man, we are saying it's OK to lie on scientific studies that will potentially determine the outcome of someone's life," Polsky said.
In response to the Times report, Ladapo said his "decisions continue to be led by the raw science --- not fear."
Ladapo, who doubles as secretary of the Florida Department of Health, has joined DeSantis in questioning the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, opposing lockdowns and rejecting mask and vaccination requirements. The Senate also confirmed 15 other agency heads Thursday.
