Dodgy China vaccine sinks Seychelles

What could be nastier than unleashing a debilitating pandemic on the world? How about issuing friends with a dodgy vaccine that doesn’t work for propaganda purposes? See Seychelles COVID file:

Sinopharm is a Chinese state-owned enterprise. But the WHO has warned that it has “very low confidence” in Sinopharm vaccine data so it’s pretty easy to join the dots here.

This little lab experiment might have been enough to seriously disrupt global markets. However, other very large vaccine experiments, in the US, UK and Israel, which used far superior inoculations, are having such trouble as they reopen. Israel, the US and UK are killing it:

The lesson being that you should always look a CCP gift horse in the mouth.
