Sample sizes were fairly small in those comparisons, but if I recall correctly, it was something like 76% versus 95%, when anything over 70% is adequate. I think the issue with the traditional inactivated virus approach is that it might not do anything to prevent infection by the mutations that are already out there (similar to how we handle flu vaccines), and I haven't seen any info on whether it lessens the severity of symptoms in the event of infection like the mRNA vaccines do.
In other words, inactivated virus is a mature and economical approach and works just fine if your country has its shit together and can prevent the spread of the other COVID variants. mRNA is the technocrat capitalist hellworld solution, because the serfs have to get back to work at all costs.

thats the thing though, every country has to do this or else it will quickly spread to every other country in the globalized world
Yep, kind of leads one to believe that the escape variants were a feature, not a bug, because now the global economy is dependent on the mRNA vaccine manufacturers.
The Sinopharm vaccine is also a traditional inactivated virus vaccine, and can be stored at room temperature!
but its effectiveness is low compared to mrna, from what i read

I've also read this, but I think it's had a better safety record so far?
