Studies have said that Sinovac is 100% preventive for Covid19..

Tell that to my wife’s aunt who got Sinovac (the only option at the time in her country) and spent a month in the hospital, spent around $100k to stay alive… she would have died had they not injected her with antibodies. Tell that to my wife’s uncle, another Sinovac vaccinated person who lost his life after several weeks in the hospital with Covid… oops, I guess you can’t tell him anymore, he’s no longer with us.

Let’s just be honest here, does anyone believe any study that shows any Covid vaccine is 100% effective? I also saw “studies” on Sinovac that showed it was equally useful as not being vaccinated at all.

The overwhelming evidence (from studies that are legitimate) show that mRNA vaccines have been the most effective… by far.

No I don't believe it's 100% effective, I took pfzier and still got a mild Covid19 before.
Even with chickenpox vaccinations, we still get chickenpox

I don't think anyone claims that Pfizer or Modena are 100 percent effective.

Correct. Vaccines cause the immune system to produce anti-bodies so that your body can already recognize a foreign invader.

Your response to a real infection depends upon how many antibodies were produced in your body as a result of the vaccine, and how quickly your body is able to ramp up when infected.

Sinovac Covid vaccines is a killed virus vaccine, and is not as effective in giving you sufficient immunity, especially as compared to an mRNA vaccine. The only reason you'd want to take the Sinovac vaccine is because you can't find the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Those Brazil studies alleging 100 percent are only for non symptomatic cases of Covid, otherwise, it's the same 60 percent effective rate.

At some point China was only allowing in Sinovac immunised people. That may be why.
