Momen: Bangladesh will buy 15 million doses of Covid vaccine from China

P

Sinopharm vaccine in BD..
- 500K + 600K doses as gifts
- 15 million doses ordered


The information is that BD would have to wait till December this year to get its first batch of brought Chinese vaccines.

Pakistan, China's greatest ally, is itself getting tiny amounts of vaccine and so BD is likely to be even further down the list. Pakistan is currently on 5.3 million jabs and jabbing at a rate of 130,000 a day. BD was on around 160,000 a day with a 20% lesser population before it rationed as Indian stopped exports.

Article in the OP says 15 million doses will be delivered in 3 months timeframe in batches of 5 million in each month(from June to August).

Pakistan has no shortage of vaccines. Pakistan's problem is PAKISTANIS who are reluctant in getting vaccinated.

I have heard that argument before but it is not credible.


Pakistan has recently ramped up its jabbing capacity by twice from around 60,000 a day to 130,000 a day.

Maybe what is happening in India is having an effect in making Pakistanis more eager to have the jab, but this does not make sense that only Pakistanis in the sub-continent would be reluctant to have the jab when both Indians and BD'shis were taking up the offer in large numbers, even before what happened in India from April.


The reason that Pakistan is now able to jab twice as much as before is there is simply more supply and nothing else from what I can see.

20% of vaccinated people will still die(as opposed to comparable unvaccinated cohort) as prevention from deaths is 80%.

Other vaccines from West are almost 100% effective against death.

Where is the data saying Sinovac can only prevent death at 80 % ? Can you back your statement by credible source and put the link in here...

While for Indonesia, it is the current number, we have already injected around 10 million people with two shot vaccine where large majority of it is Sinovac

@TOTUU

The vaccines are also given first to vulnerable people like 60 years above and health workers like doctors and nurses.

Of course there is Allah help as well to prevent further loss of lifes

Like I have said multiple times already Chile real world data where they used the Chinese vaccine in most per capita numbers out of any country.

Some people may wish these numbers are not true but more than 10 million doses gone into a population of less than 20 million people does not lie.

Feel free to Google the link if you are so inclined or prove otherwise.

You should be the one that back your own statement, since you make the statement without backing.

It is clear that Sinovac prevention on death has been studied in Indonesia where 98 percent rate is for two shots while one shot vacination show lower rate, so it must be clear whether the data in Chile is for maximum protection of 2 shots or the data is mixed with 1 shots only vacination ......

Indonesia also has vacinated 10 million people with complete two shots vacination so far.

You can check Indonesian news that I brough that is very detail in giving the explanation with various data being shown

This is for two shots.

Chile says one shot is virtually useless.

There is the chance of different levels of effectiveness with different strains in different countries but AstraZeneca vaccine was still highly effective in Chilean trials.

I really hope that the Chinese vaccine works well in Indonesia and Pakistan but not happy that BD government is sourcing it due to what has come out of both Chile and Turkey.

Sinovac vaccine in Indonesia is produced by our state owned farmacy PT Biofarma where the shed comes from China.

Actually this kind of offer that I believe is offered by China in middle of 2020 for Bangladesh but some how your BD government dont take it.

Producing the vaccine in the country will lower the price of the vaccine since what we need to do is buying the shed and also transportation cost to bring it to Indonesia. Unlike Pfizer, Sinovac vaccine is also much easier to be stored

Thank you.... I've been trying to see data on the effectiveness of western vaccines in various countries now, but basically all the media and countries only report data on Chinese vaccines in various countries.Each country can disclose data on the Chinese vaccines it uses. However, the use of Western vaccines is basically not disclosed. Chile and Brazil, UAE all use Chinese and Western vaccines, Western countries are using only Western vaccines, but none of them have data on the use of Western vaccines in their countries.Only chinese vaccine has a lot of third-party data in the world right now . I don't know why, is this the power of Western hegemony?

I have read that most of the rich countries including South Africa have banned the AstraZeneca vaccine, but the AstraZeneca vaccine is still recommended by the media for use in third world countries.

I see a lot of Bangladeshis in this forum who are still bullish on the AstraZeneca vaccine. The data on the use of Pfizer vaccines in the US, Germany, France etc. has been a secret, only the media has been reporting the efficiency data provided by Pfizer itself, the western media has been promoting their vaccines as public, but not seeing any third party data.

Pakistan govt have target to vaccinate around 30 million people within the end of June.

Momen: Bangladesh will buy 15 million doses of Covid vaccine from China

Sinopharm vaccine China

Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming (left) formally hands over the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine to Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen (right) and Health Minister Zahid Maleque (centre) at the state guest house Padma in Dhaka on Wednesday, May 12, 2021

The country is also working to co-produce another Chinese vaccine
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said that Bangladesh will buy 15 million doses of Sinopharm vaccines from China and the first consignment may arrive in June.
He said that there have been positive discussions between the two countries and a deal is almost final. The total consignment will arrive in three phases — five millions in each month of June, July and August.
The minister was talking to reporters following a meeting with UN General Assembly President Volkan Bozkır at the Foreign Service Academy on Tuesday, according to media reports.
Abdul Momen said that at a telephonic conversation last week with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi the country vowed to ensure steady flow of vaccine.
“He (Chinese foreign minister) told me China considers Bangladesh as a friendly country and is ready to provide as many as vaccine we need,” Momen said referring to his recent telephone conversation with Wang Yi.
During the telephone conversation with Momen on Friday, Wang Yi, who is also the State Councilor of China, also announced that China has decided to provide 600,000 more Covid-19 vaccine doses to Bangladesh as a second batch of gift, reports BSS.
On May 12, China handed over first batch of 500,000 doses of its Sinopharm vaccine to Bangladesh as gift while Dhaka is keeping its efforts on globally to get access to enough inoculation.
Bangladesh is also working on co-production of Sinovac, another Chinese vaccine. A team from China will visit Bangladesh soon to see the feasibility of vaccine production, he said.
In the coming days vaccine supply will not be a problem, the foreign minister said adding that discussion with Russia for vaccine is also at the final stage. The country will also get vaccine from Covax, he added.
After its request to the United States, Bangladesh also urged the United Kingdom to help it by providing vaccines to meet emergency needs as the second dose vaccination is disrupted in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has sought 1.6 million AstraZeneca vaccine doses from the UK.
The government had been able to handle the first wave of the Covid-19 very successfully, UNB quoted the foreign minister saying.

Why not Haseena asking / requesting vaccines from her lover Modi :lol:
