China says it's coronavitus vaccine will be ready for the world by 2021: ABC News

Also, its looking more and more like we already have a vaccine. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese have already been injected with the vaccine since July with no side effects.

While the vaccine has not yet passed the phase 3 clinical trials, a globally accepted standard, SinoVac has already injected thousands of people in China under an emergency use provision.

Yin said he was one of the first to receive the experimental vaccine months ago along with researchers after phase one and two of human trials showed no serious adverse effects. He said that self-injecting showed his support for CoronaVac.

“This is kind of a tradition of our company,” Yin said, adding that he had done the same with a hepatitis vaccine under development.

Earlier this year, China permitted “emergency use” of vaccine candidates for at-risk populations like border personnel and medical workers if companies could show “good safety and good antibodies” from tests of about 1,000 people, Yin said.


I think this is kind of like an exit poll scenario. The networks know hours ahead of time who is winning but keep it suspenseful. Kind of a similar analogy here. There is already a vaccine but the powers-that-be are going to roll it out on their timeline.

Of note, WHO blessed this Chinese move. Wall Street has also already baked a vaccine in.
