    It’s complete nonsense to look at the Biden Administration politicizing the bogus science behind the lab leak theory

    What does whatever the Biden admin say have to do with the multiple scientific researches that have been conducted?

    Effective define as what? Based on who’s data? I keep asking simple methodological questions that any scientist would ask and be able to answer, and you keep just evading them

    You know the answer to all these questions and you're basically just flinging mud. I don't believe you are being honest at all so why the hell would I bother?

    I know you don’t want to do this because your idea of “good” data comes from the fine, a-political, definitely-not-fascists of the Bolsanairo government

    Lmao even if it was just the Brazil studies, this just shows your ignorance of how these things work. The tests that were conducted have absolutely nothing to do with the Bolsonaro government, which has been at odds with the medical community of the country from the get go, which has taken many actions despite Bolsonaro whining about it, which is why Brazil is the top buyer of Chinese vaccines in the area. Is your argument here that Chinese companies sent their vaccines to Brazil just so that they can lie about them, and then China just didn't bother contesting them because I guess they are dumb or something, and then the Brazilian medical community decided they should buy a bunch of Chinese vaccines anyways, despite them being clearly very against the Chinese vaccines and constantly lying about them? Do you think Bolsonaro has absolute control over everything going on in the country? Because he really doesn't, Bolsonaro is a clown with very little institutional power, which is why Brazil ended up buying all these Chinese vaccines in the first place despite Bolsonaro complaining about it at multiple stages. But that is exactly the kind of half assed "analysis" I was expecting, which is why it's pointless for me to cite any studies.

    I’ve never once denied the efficacy of any vaccination. I didn’t say that the Pfizer or Moderna shot isn’t effective

    Yes you clearly did. You've spent these last few posts arguing that apparently every widely used vaccine except the Chinese ones is probably less effective and all the trials are basically fabricated by the CIA or whatever the fuck.

    You’re the one spreading fear and doubt about the efficacy of the Chinese vaccines,

    Bullshit, I'm saying what the conclusions of the trials conducted by the companies themselves said. Which does not mean they are not effective at all, they're simply objectively less effective than Pfizer, Moderna, and probably Sputnik V, perhaps it's debatable for AZ but generally AZ performs better in most tests.

    which are the only ones available in most parts of the Global South.

    Another ignorant statement, by far the most widely used vaccines are AstraZeneca and then Pfizer, not Sinopharm or Sinovac. Covax (which is what many poorer countries have largely relied on) only recently started buying Chinese vaccines, while the cheapest vaccine is still AZ by far. I don't know why people seem convinced the global south only has Chinese vaccines, but in fact many places primarily have the vaccines whose research you decided is fraudulent.

    I don’t know how you think I’m the anti-vaxxer here when you’re only one spreading information that is in any way likely to get people to not get vaccinated.

    Wow gee yeah can't see how saying that research on most vaccines except the Chinese ones is fraudulent would make people avoid vaccination.

    This is dumb. I'm disengaging.
