When the Chinese government offered the vaccine to all the teachers, after they researched the vaccine (these teachers all have advanced degrees--my nephew is a lawyer), they all declined to take it. But the Chinese teachers on staff were required to take it. This was not CanSino. But he said CanSino will likely be the next vaccine he will be offered. He said the final trials have not been made public yet: he is not optimistic. My wife and I and everyone we have talked to about it will wait and buy the Pfizer vaccine. No hope at all AMLO will buy it for the general public knowing his track record no matter what he or one of his gang publically states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yes, I imagine a few of the national blood testing businesses will buy up a bunch of doses and make some profit delivering it. If anybody can't afford it, then they (possibly DIF)will be looking to pay for it. In so far as other countries politicians showing leadership by example, which post was dumped, they are wearing masks even after getting vaccinated. That is the protocol by the way, and important for the public to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, it may very well have been harmful to them or not effective, which is another way to harm someone--have them believe they are protected, when they are not. Brazil found out that the first Chinese vaccine is only giving 50% protection. The EU, Britain and US will not approve a vaccine that is that ineffective. And selfish me--no way I will take the Russian vaccine for the very same reasons--lack of transparency and my distrust of a totalitarian regime. Russia and China operate on very different levels than democracies. They are closed societies where the governments control the media and pretty much everything else. You go ahead and take the Sputnik or Chinese vaccine then let us know how it works out for you. This is the kind of crap China does... https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-injects-hundreds-of-thousands-with-experimental-covid-19-vaccines-11599834029 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanMexicali Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 https://news.yahoo.com/three-mexicos-most-powerful-men-005741377.html "Three of Mexico's most powerful men have COVID-19 Kate Linthicum Mon, January 25, 2021, 6:57 PM The illness of three men who represent the country's traditional axis of power — church, state and commerce — is a potent reminder of just how bad things have become in Mexico. The country has recorded nearly 150,000 official COVID-19 deaths — the fourth-highest death toll in the world. Yet officials acknowledge that the true count is much higher. Mexico tallied 274,486 more deaths of all types in 2020 than in a normal year, and health experts said the vast majority are probably attributable to the pandemic. López Obrador's government has been criticized worldwide for its lackadaisical response to the pandemic. Mexico has refused to invest in widespread testing, allowing the contagion to spread undetected, and the president has opted not to wear a mask even in public settings. He announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 late Sunday shortly after returning to Mexico City from a multistate tour, where over three days he held several meetings and attended two events. Local media cite unnamed sources within his administration who say López Obrador fell ill with flu-like symptoms on Saturday and was administered a COVID-19 test that day. Many have criticized his decision to take a commercial Aeromexico flight home the following day despite already feeling sick. The president has repeatedly downplayed the risks of the virus. In June, he told reporters that one of the tricks to not falling ill was good moral conduct. "No lying, no stealing, no betraying, that helps a lot to not get coronavirus," he said. Slim, on the other hand, has been a leading crusader against the virus. He pushed for a deal to provide vaccines en masse in Latin America, and his charitable foundation has been licensed by AstraZeneca to supply 150 million doses of the vaccine to the region." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I begin to believe it when it comes from official and respected financial sources. But maybe you have information more relevant to the finances of Mexico than the major rating agencies in the world, all the newspapers in Mexico, and Central Bank of Mexico.
